Which real estate IPO was better? DLF (India) or Country Garden (China)?

I don't see that Country Garden (CG) is actually making an IPO. But either way, to figure out which company is the better investment, you'd probably want to look a bit at more of the specifics. For example, what kind of developments does DFL specialize in, where are it's land reserves located, and compare both to the the direction and extent of population migration and population growth rates (to try and glimpse a bit into the company's future profitability) as well as the those very same stats along with economic conditions surrounding their current developed holdings (to glimpse into the the company's current profitability and that of the near future). You'd want to do the same for CG. I'm ill prepared to do that though because I'm still a bit of a novice market analysis, and I know nothing about the economic conditions or the real estate market abroad. However, these articles aren't enough to figure out which is the better investment.

edit: (totally gave an answer to a question that wasn't asked) As far as which one did better, I guess getting investors to offer to buy more than the 2.9 billion dollars worth of stock you've offered to sell is doing better than getting 1.66 billion.
