China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd.’s contracted sales rose in the first half, bucking a broader property-market decline as the state-owned developer’s focus on prime projects in China’s biggest cities paid off.

The Hong Kong-listed developer and its joint ventures recorded 134.4 billion yuan ($20 billion) in contracted property sales in the first six months of 2026, up 11.8% from a year earlier, according to its interim results announced Wednesday.
