XI'AN, China, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Housing & Land Development, Inc., ("China Housing", Nasdaq: CHLN) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Xi'an Xinxing Property Management Co., Ltd. ("Xinxing").

Xinxing was privately owned and provides property management services to most of China Housing's past residential and commercial projects, as well as to other prominent customers like the Xi'an branch office building of the People's Bank of China, China Xi'an Electric Group headquarters, Shaanxi Bureau of State Taxation offices, and the Xi'an University of International Studies, to name a few.

Xinxing's current service area totals 1.67 million square meters in 43 facilities that include residential, commercial, and school buildings and parks. Xinxing's revenues in 2008 were RMB 15.42 million, net income was RMB 1.82 million, and assets at yearend 2008 totaled RMB 11.29 million. Total consideration for the acquisition will be 12 million RMB.

Mr. Pingji Lu, Chairman of China Housing & Land Development, said, "This acquisition greatly strengthens our ability to improve our value to our customers during the after-sale phase of our real estate development business. We get the following benefits from this acquisition:

"Our real estate development business is one continuous long-term process with many integrated phases that include land analysis and acquisition, site planning and development, design, architecture, engineering, construction, financing, marketing and sales, after-sales property management, and eventually demolition and recycling.

"We design, engineer, and construct buildings, but we really create communities. We create communities where each unit is custom-tailored for every customer but is flexible enough to provide great satisfaction to subsequent owners. We create communities that are designed to provide years of pleasure and satisfaction to each resident -- from the beauty of the landscaping and the common areas, the beauty and functionality of the buildings, and the beauty and efficiency of each apartment. So we are focused on sustained customer satisfaction in several dimensions.

"This acquisition brings an important phase of real estate development into our company, one that further emphasizes our long-term commitment to our customers."
