Responding to the penalty notice issued, Evergrande Fairyland Group said that Ocean Flower Island is a key project in Hainan that drew approximately $11.2bn (CNY81bn) worth of investment following more than six years of construction.

In September, Evergrande stated that it has resumed construction of a total of 668 housing projects that were delayed as against 38 projects that remain shelved.

According to a July report of Chinese news portal guancha.cn, Evergrande sold many of its subsidiaries, five real estate projects and non-core assets for CNY45.8bn over the last year to wade through the financial problems.

In a filing on 6 November, the company stated that receivers sold a plot in Yuen Long, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for $637m.

Proceeds from the sale will be utilised to repay the company’s financial obligations associated with the project.
