What Country Garden does

Country Garden Holdings Company Limited (碧桂园控股有限公司, HKEx: 02007.HK) is one of China's largest residential property developers, founded in 1992 in Shunde, Foshan by Yang Guoqiang. The company develops, sells, and manages residential housing across more than 1,400 cities and towns in all 31 mainland Chinese provinces, with a portfolio exceeding 3,000 projects serving over 500万 homeowners. Its business is organized around three core pillars: (1) Real Estate Development — standardized, quality residential housing delivered through on-site sales offices and the Phoenix Cloud digital platform; (2) Smart Construction — provided via subsidiary Tengyue Construction Technology Group, which holds 185 professional construction qualifications and operates the Bright Dream Robotics (博智林) platform with 5,000+ construction robots deployed; and (3) Entrusted Management and Construction — delivered through Phoenix Management (凤凰智拓建管公司) to government entities, urban investment companies, and commercial developers for urban renewal and government-commissioned projects. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time property sales (recognized on handover) with recurring income from property management (Country Garden Services, HK.6098) and growing streams from long-term rental apartments (Bijia Apartment, 20+ cities, 30,000+ rooms) and commercial asset management.

Following the 2020 'three red lines' policy, Country Garden underwent severe financial stress, defaulting on offshore bonds in 2023 and launching a 'protect deliveries' campaign that delivered nearly 1.15 million units over 2023-2025, ranking first in the industry. In December 2025 the company completed its offshore debt restructuring, reducing total debt by approximately RMB 90 billion and lowering new financing costs to 1%-2.5%, supported by a US$1.14 billion loan-to-equity conversion from controlling shareholder Concrete Win. The company returned to net profitability in 2025 (RMB 1.6 billion) and achieved MSCI China Small Cap and FTSE Russell index inclusion in 2026. GTM motion is sales-led with deep direct field-sales coverage at 3,000+ project sites, complemented by online channels and a dedicated government/enterprise sales function for entrusted construction.

The current company is best understood as a turnaround story: a former sector leader that has stabilized after a multi-year contraction, with FY2025 revenue of approximately RMB 154.9 billion (vs. RMB 523 billion peak in 2021), a restructured balance sheet, and a strategic pivot toward robotics-enabled construction, rental housing, and government/commercial entrusted construction services as core property sales remain compressed.
