"It's been rainy in Shenzhen recently, and we often live in the 'clouds'." Ms. Zhang, who lives in a super high-rise residential building in Shuibei, Luohu District, Shenzhen, seems to regret her decision to buy a house: "The 53rd floor is a bit too high. Moreover, houses are getting taller and taller, but they are becoming less and less practical."

In recent years, more and more cities have strengthened the height control of high-rise buildings. Compared with commercial office buildings, super-high-rise residential buildings have attracted more attention from homebuyers. The reporter found that the proportion of super-high-rise residential buildings in urban renewal projects is higher, and perhaps some "cold thinking" is needed behind it.

Many places have issued "height restrictions"

Recently, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with the Provincial Department of Natural Resources and the Provincial Fire Rescue Corps, drafted the "Opinions on Strengthening the Planning, Construction and Control of High-Rise Buildings (Draft for Comments)". The "Opinions" proposed to strengthen the height control of high-rise buildings. Localities are generally not allowed to build new residential buildings over 100 meters. In addition, cities with a permanent urban population of less than 3 million are not allowed to build new buildings over 250 meters. Cities with a permanent urban population of less than 1 million are strictly restricted from building new buildings over 100 meters, and cities with a permanent urban population of 1 million to 3 million are strictly restricted from building new buildings over 150 meters. Cities with a permanent urban population of more than 3 million are not allowed to build new buildings over 500 meters, and are strictly restricted from building new buildings over 250 meters.

In recent times, many cities have begun to turn their attention to areas that home buyers are more concerned about, such as residential height and common area.

Previously, the 2024 version of the Shenzhen Building Design Rules was released. The revisions include reducing the public area of ​​residential buildings, which has attracted much attention from citizens, and effectively increasingRoom rate, and a 150-meter height limit for residences and dormitories. Foshan issued a "Notice on Several Measures to Continue to Promote the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market", which mentioned encouraging and supporting enterprises to develop diversified, high-quality residential products, including newly transferred residential land, and raising the upper limit of the "half" gross floor area of ​​balconies in residential suites from 18% of the floor area to 20%; canceling the limit on single balconies.depthand area restrictions, etc.

Shenzhen high-rise residential new house project

Diversified products are expected to return

Taking the Shenzhen market as an example, the reporter found that the super high-rise residential buildings that have been completed in Shenzhen are mainly concentrated in Futian, Luohu, Nanshan and other areas, and the land supply mainly comes from urban renewal. In Luohu District and Futian District of Shenzhen, the reporter found that the number of residential buildings in many urban renewal projects is more than 50 floors, and some are even more than 60 floors. In Nanshan District, super high-rise residential buildings with more than 70 floors have also appeared.

Why are super high-rise residential buildings particularly likely to appear in urban renewal projects in urban villages? The reporter interviewed several real estate company insiders and learned that for real estate companies, urban renewal projects are located in good locations, and the cost of acquiring land and time costs are constantly rising, so projects are often built into super high-rise buildings with higher profit margins.

Li Yujia, chief researcher at the Guangdong Housing Policy Research Center, believes that the emergence of such super-high-rise residential buildings after urban renewal is an inevitable result, because the cost of renewal is getting higher and higher. In the past, when everyone had high expectations for rising housing prices, the "asking price" for villagers to move back would also be relatively high, which is the demand side. On the supply side, many developers are keeping a close eye on Shenzhen's old-town renovation market, and urban renewal must return to public attributes, so sufficient space must be left for public facilities. This makes it increasingly difficult for developers to make money, and they must increaseVolume rateFor the cost.

The reporter also randomly interviewed a number of home buyers, and all the interviewees said that they would not choose such super-high-rise residential buildings and projects with too high a floor area ratio as their first choice for property investment. Although "living high means seeing far", floors that are too high will also affect the quality of subsequent life, such as long waiting time for the elevator, thin floor walls and other quality issues.

"For super high-rise residential buildings, there may not be any problems at first, but in the later maintenance process, you will find that the maintenance cost is getting higher and higher, and the problems caused by super high-rise buildings also include the lack of public facilities in the entire area, traffic congestion, and subsequent fire safety issues." Li Yujia said. Some experts even worry about what will happen to these super high-rise residential buildings in 70 years? Developers are unlikely to be willing to spend a high cost to "renew the city" again.

Industry insiders said that during the boom of the real estate industry, real estate developers built super high-rise buildings in a core area in order to raise the overall level of the area to a higher level and drive other plots around the project, including many residential projects. However, the real estate market environment has changed significantly. After all, residential and commercial office buildings have different uses. For self-use needs, most buyers will not choose super high-rise residential buildings. In the future, diversified products such as low-volume residential areas, multi-story residential buildings, duplex villas, and villas are expected to return to meet more improvement needs of buyers.
