Parc Botanica in Chengdu sold out all 388 units for RMB332 million; The Lakeside in Wuhan sold about 90% of 372 units for RMB322 million; La Botanica in Xi’an sold 97% of 535 units for RMB585 million
Mr Lucas Loh, President (China & Investment Management), CapitaLand Group, said: “As China’s urbanisation continues unabated, the underlying demand for new homes in first- and second-tier cities that are part of CapitaLand’s core city clusters strategy remains healthy. This could be seen in the strong sales achieved during this year’s ‘Golden September Silver October’ season for four of CapitaLand’s residential launches. The sustained interest in our residential developments can be attributed to CapitaLand’s strong brand recognition, high build quality, good property locations and astute marketing strategies.”
