BEIJING, June 3, 2011 — Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (NYSE: XIN), a residential real estate developer with a focus on high growth, strategic Tier II & III cities in China, today announced an update to its two most recent real estate development projects, Jinan Splendid in Shandong province and Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II in Henan province.
The Company’s Jinan Splendid high rise development project commenced pre-sales on May 18, 2011. This project is located in a central area along the Xiao Qinghe river in the Binhe New District in Jinan city. The total sellable gross floor area (GFA) is estimated to be approximately 527,000 square meters. By 31 May 2011, the Company sold 466 out of 527 residential units made available for the first pre-sales permit, for a total recognizable contract sales value of approximately RMB357 million (US$54.5 million).
The Company’s Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II development project of multi-layered, sub-high-rise buildings commenced pre-sales in late March, 2011. In April and May, the Company sold 391 out of 574 residential units, for a total recognizable contract sales value of approximately RMB242 million (US$37.0 million). The Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II project is situated in the north part of Zhengzhou city, a high-end community with convenient transportation alternatives.
Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are pleased with consumer demand for our most recent development projects, Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II and Jinan Splendid. Each project launched in a timely fashion and, thus far, has exceeded our pre-sales expectations. Such trends indicate that home purchasers appear to be, once again, adjusting to the latest round of government property initiatives. We believe strong demand remains for residential units in tier-2 and tier-3 cities and we remain comfortable with our full year financial forecast.”
