By the end of June, the company had gained revenue of USD1.56 billion (CNY10.45 billion), an increase of 8 percent and net profit of CNY1.27 billion, an increase of 56 percent, Greentown China reported in its interim results on Aug. 28.

Greentown Group will have 110 investment projects on sale in the second half, with the saleable area approaching 4 million square meters and the amount involved about CNY84.6 billion. The saleable amount in first- and second-tier cities will be about CNY60.3 billion, 70 percent of prospective sales in the second half, per the report.
