Following the opening of its sales center and show flats on 18 October, "Shenyang Aoyuan·The Metropolis" was officially launched for sale on 23 October and became an instant hit in Shenyang city with overwhelming success. Within 4 hours of its launch, all 70 townhouses and 184 units of low-rise apartments in Phase 1 were sold out, which generated sales proceeds of more than RMB300 million.

As the Group"s flagship project in Shenyang, "Shenyang Aoyuan·The Metropolis" occupies a total site area of approximately 608,000 sq.m. and a total GFA (including saleable and non-saleable) of approximately 2,432,000 sq.m.. Located in Hunnan New District of Shenyang Economic Zone (大瀋陽經濟圈渾南板塊) and situated in the core area of Da Hun Nan, Hunhe River New Town and Shenyang Economic Zone, the project not only enjoys geographical advantages but also benefits from Shenyang"s southbound move policy for city government offices. "Shenyang Aoyuan·The Metropolis" features an all-encompassing range of five star facilities and buildings including a hotel, serviced apartment, A-grade offices, large-scale shopping mall, townhouses, low-rise scenic apartments, high-rise apartments, kindergarten and primary school. The project is in the vicinity of Shenyang International Exhibition Center, New Shenyang South Station, metro line 2 and line 4. In line with Aoyuan"s low-carbon, healthy environmental development concept, the project also adopted a number of international leading green technologies in its facilities. Aoyuan is  committed to building "Shenyang Aoyuan·The Metropolis" as a large-scale integrated residential and commercial community for recreation, entertainment, business and education.

Mr. Guo Zi Wen, Chairman and CEO of Aoyuan, said, "Despite the recent interest-rate hike and subsequent market volatilities, property sales in second-tier cities remained stable. With the Group"s grand project in Shenyang, Aoyuan successfully stimulated buying interests from entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals and middle class families, which was demonstrated by the project"s excellent sales on the first day of launch. This success not only underscores property buyers" huge support and recognition to the prestigious branding of Aoyuan but also strengthens our strategic planning in the northeast region. The Shenyang project is an outstanding showcase of Aoyuan"s strategic environmental concept - "building a healthy, low-carbon lifestyle". We are confident that market demand for such projects is increasing and will help "Shenyang Aoyuan·The Metropolis" achieve even better results with the launch of its commercial section later."
