The business of urban complex remains a focus of the market. The total contract sales of six urban complexes, namely Chengdu Meinian International Plaza, Chengdu Future Plaza, Chengdu Funian Plaza, Tianjin Future Plaza, Shenzhen Meinian International Complex and Guilin Fantasia Town, accounted for approximately 52% of the Company’s overall sales in December. In particular, the annual sales of Guilin Fantasia Town ranked as one of the top three in Guilin City, and the Shenzhen Meinian International Complex was almost 100% sold out. 

The boutique upscale residences projects are still widely received in the market.

According to the statistics from the official website of Huiyang Housing Authority, the project of Huizhou Fantasia Special Town ranked first in terms of unit sales in Huiyang District in 2011.

In January 2012, the Company has 18 urban complexes and boutique upscale residences projects on the market in 10 cites throughout the country.
