An office building in a prime location in Shenzhen was sold at a staggering price of 66.02 million RMB in the fifth auction. The property, with a land area of 3,171.3 square meters, was owned by a well-known high-tech company.
The company, which was originally owned by a now-disbanded major mobile phone company that had a major presence in the domestic market, faced financial problems and strategic missteps that ultimately led to its bankruptcy in 2018.
The property had previously been auctioned many times without success, but this time it managed to attract four bidders, with the price it won after 55 competing bids being significantly lower than the staggering opening price of 135 million yuan set in the original auction.
Additionally, the auctioned assets also included electronic equipment worth approximately 2.573 million yuan. Although the sale was successful, the former owner is owed approximately 5.734 million yuan in unpaid taxes.
Adjacent to Che Gongmiao Station of the Shenzhen Metro, the office building is considered a prime commercial location due to its strategic geographical location.
