HONG KONG -- Embattled China Evergrande Group has agreed to sell its stake in a development project in downtown Shanghai to the country's midsize state-owned lender China Everbright Group.

This marks another asset disposal, this time in a prime location in a top-tier city, by the country's leading cash-strapped developer, which barely evaded another court decision in Hong Kong to be liquidated early this month.
