Skyscraper to go under hammer on Taobao
Print Edition
Following the sale of three Boeing 747 freighters on Taobao, Alibaba鈥檚 e-commerce platform, a Chinese court is offering up another unusual item for judicial auction 鈥 a 156-meter tall skyscraper.
Originally designed to be a hotel, the 39-floor unfinished building, along with the land it sits on, will be publicly auctioned between January 2-3, according to the announcement by the Shanxi Provincial Higher People鈥檚 Court.
Located in Taiyuan, capital of north China鈥檚 Shanxi Province, the unfinished building has a floor space of more than 76,000 square meters. The auction鈥檚 starting price will be 550 million yuan (US$84 million), it said.
Shanxi Jinhao International Hotel Ltd Co invested in and built the hotel, and construction started in 2006. In 2010, major construction work was completed and the hotel was expected to open to the public in 2011.
But due to funding shortfalls on the part of the developer, the project was suspended, the court said.
In order to more effectively and transparently handle assets seized in lawsuits, almost all courts have registered on Taobao鈥檚 judicial sales platform since the service was launched in 2012.
Two Boeing 747 freighters were successfully auctioned in November for a total of 320 million yuan, while the third plane sold for 146 million yuan in December.
