The city sold 252 plots of land this year, the bureau said in a statement.
A plot of land in the central business district in east Beijing sold for 6.3 billion yuan on Tuesday, a record high for a plot.
Last year, the city sold 247 plots of land for 92.8 billion yuan.
The city's land-sales revenue was the highest of all 31 Chinese mainland regions.
