Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. Provides Update on New Development Projects

The Company's Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II development project of multi-layered, sub-high-rise buildings commenced pre-sales in late March, 2011. In April and May, the Company sold 391 out of 574 residential units, for a total recognizable contract sales value of approximately RMB242 million (US$37.0 million). The Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II project is situated in the north part of Zhengzhou city, a high-end community with convenient transportation alternatives.

Mr. Yong Zhang, Xinyuan's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased with consumer demand for our most recent development projects, Zhengzhou Yipinxiangshan II and Jinan Splendid. Each project launched in a timely fashion and, thus far, has exceeded our pre-sales expectations. Such trends indicate that home purchasers appear to be, once again, adjusting to the latest round of government property initiatives. We believe strong demand remains for residential units in the tier-2 and tier-3 cities in which we operate and we remain comfortable with our full year financial forecast."
