HONG KONG and BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 28, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Properties, Inc. (API) (Pink Sheets:ASPZ) announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a property development site near Guangzhou, China.

The site, near the new international airport zone in Guangzhou, will be developed in a joint-venture with a local company, into a mixed-use hotel and commercial center. Guangzhou is the third largest city in China with a population of over ten million.

Daniel Mckinney, API's CEO, commented, "With this acquisition, API is progressing toward its previously stated goal of acquiring USD five hundred million of real estate assets within twelve months. The China real estate market is booming and API is riding that wave."
