China South City Holdings (HKG:1668) was ordered to liquidate by Hong Kong's High Court on Monday, Bloomberg News reported, citing court documents.
The liquidation order came after the court found the company had made insufficient progress on restructuring plans, the report said.
The winding-up petition was filed by Citicorp International, trustee of the company's defaulted dollar bonds, the report added.
Creditors had pushed for greater involvement from Shenzhen SEZ Construction and Development Group, the report said, adding that they were specifically seeking access to Shenzhen SEZ Construction's chairman, Li Wenxiong, who also serves as a co-chairman of China South City.
China South City, with liabilities of about HK$60.9 billion as of December 2024, is the largest Chinese developer by assets to be wound up since China Evergrande (HKG:3333), according to the report.
Shares in China South City were suspended from trading in Hong Kong following the court order.
