鑫苑置业为威廉斯堡那块地支付了5,420万美元，计划为这个项目投资约2亿美元。预计该公寓楼的销售总额约为2.5亿至3.5亿美元。

Finding the right project hasn't always been easy for Chinese investors. Mr. Ozden said cultural differences have often made teaming up with U.S. partners a challenge. Some Chinese developers have relied on close friends, who speak English but know little about real estate, to serve as their negotiators. That has limited Chinese access to deals, and they often see properties only after many local investors have taken a pass.

找到合适的项目对中国投资者来说并非总是易事。欧阳默说，文化差异经常为中国人与美国合伙人的合作带来挑战。一些中国开发商依靠那些英语流利、但对房地产知之甚少的密友来充当自己的谈判代表。这就限制了中国人获取交易的途径，而且他们常常是在很多美国投资者都看过并放弃后才有机会去看某些楼盘项目。

Foreign investors have stubbed their toe in the U.S. real-estate market before. New York City can be particularly challenging for outsiders unfamiliar with how contractors and unions operate. Mr. Ozden said Xinyuan is hiring locals in New York to help navigate areas like that.

外国投资者以前在美国房地产市场上曾跌过跟头。尤其是纽约市，进军这里的楼市对于不熟悉承包商和行业协会操作方式的外来者而言可能极具挑战性。欧阳默说，鑫苑置业目前正在纽约雇当地人来协助在这类城市的项目运作。
