From the aspect of market demand, the housing market in Shanghai still kept 30 million sq.
meters sales area although under macro adjustment in 2005 and 2006.
In the beginning of 2007, the market demand in Shanghai recovered a bit, but the comparatively inadequate supply will intensify the contradiction of supply and demand in the market.
Currently, the company has 140,000 sq meters property for rent, most of which are office buildings and business units.
