The sales center attracted about 300 groups of potential buyers to choose their favourites on the day of launch. All customers showed strong desire to invest in the shops of the first phase, which were sold out in just an hour for a total of RMB130 million. The incredible pace of sales vindicated again the extraordinary attractiveness of Aoyuan"s developments.

Chongqing Aoyuan·The Metropolis adopts a centralized planning for a balanced categories of shops that "differentiate within and compliment across sectors" to create a one-stop Spanish-style commercial street which integrates eateries, recreation, shopping and entertainment. The project enjoys the advantages of a customer source of 300,000 residents from the Huayan commercial circle and being adjacent to the Jian Ding Po station of the railway Line 5 (under planning) which will bring in significant customer flow. Furthermore, the shop has a height of 5.1 m which provides great space, high usable ratio and effectively a "2 floors for one" value. The centralized commercial planning of the Metropolis fills the void of the Huayan commercial circle and it is no wonder why the shops are so much sought after by investors.

It has been just six months from the date of winning the bid for the land of Chongqing Aoyuan·The Metropolis on 17 December 2012 to the date of launching and selling out of the first phase on 22 June 2013. Such efficiency is the result of standardised and refined management as well as workflow management of the Aoyuan group. It also evidenced the innovative, precise and accurate positioning and design of Aoyuan"s development, and demonstrated again the perfect combination of Aoyuan"s speed and quality following the success of Chongqing Aoyuan·Jinyu.
