One of China’s largest real estate developers, the company was founded by Kwok Keung Yeung (aka Yang Guoqiang) in 1992 and is headquartered in Hong Kong. Country Garden Holdings Co. Ltd. operates primarily through its Property Development; Construction, Property Investment; Property Management; and Hotel Operation divisions.
Benefiting from China’s market reforms and post-Cultural Revolution, Kwok Keung Yeung, a former farmer, grew his fledgling company through the late 90s and early 2000s, until eventually going public and listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2007. Today, through its subsidiaries, the company engages in large-scale residential projects such as villas, townhouses, apartment buildings, and retail developments. The company boasts over 400 million Country Garden property owners.
In 2007, Kwok Keung Yeung transferred a 57 per cent stake in the company to his daughter Yang Huiyan, who sits on the company’s board of directors. Country Garden Holdings’ annual revenue is over $39 billion.
