China Evergrande Says Construction Resumed at Vast Majority of Its Projects

Troubled property developer China Evergrande Group said construction work has resumed at more than 90% of its stalled residential projects, adding that it has picked up the pace of delivering apartments promised to home buyers across the country.

Evergrande said Sunday night that more than 80% of its suppliers of materials and decorative services have resumed cooperating and that it has signed thousands of new contracts with various suppliers. At the end of August, the developer disclosed that construction had been suspended at some projects after it fell behind on payments. And by October, hundreds of Evergrande’s unfinished developments were affected by work stoppages.
