This land parcel is located in Daxing New District in the northwest area of Xi'an City, close to the Second Ring Road. The land parcel is comprised of two pieces with the larger area intended for residential development and the smaller area for commercial development.

Mr. Yong Zhang, Chairman of Xinyuan, commented, "We are excited to expand further into the fast growing central China region by entering the Xi'an market, where supply demand balance remains healthy in a generally slow macro environment.
