The pros and cons of super high-rise housing need to be weighed calmly

In Shenzhen, in addition to commercial office landmarks, more and more super-high-rise residential buildings are also rising, especially some urban renewal projects.

Like other urban villages, Baishizhou, located in Nanshan, Shenzhen, has transformed from an ancient small village into the first home in Shenzhen for migrant workers from all over the world. In the future, Baishizhou will also become a "high-end community" in Shenzhen. When it comes to Shenzhen's urban renewal projects, Baishizhou has become a typical representative of Shenzhen's "village in the city". Its so-called "renovation value" worth hundreds of billions of yuan has made Baishizhou the focus of market attention.

Recently, the Urban Renewal and Land Preparation Bureau of Nanshan District, Shenzhen City announced the "Construction Project Planning Permit" and master plan of LVJing Baishizhou Jingting. The reporter learned from the announcement that the license and floor plan issued this time are for the Shenzhen Baishizhou urban renewal project phase 01-08 plot. The plot is named "Lvjing Baishizhou Jingting" and is planned to include residential buildings, business apartments, and commercial buildings. wait. The certificate issued this time is for a five-tower building, including three super high-rise residential buildings, all with 74 floors. If the 74-story residential building is actually completed, it is expected to become the "tallest residential building" in Shenzhen.

“I have tried to live in such a high-rise hotel, but it is really unimaginable to live on the 50th or even 60th floor every day.” Huang Hao (pseudonym), who is preparing to buy a house, often visits houses recently. , he found that the residential buildings in Shenzhen were getting taller and denser. "I once visited a friend's house and lived on the 48th floor. Although there are elevators on odd and even floors, because it happened to be the rush hour after work, it took more than ten minutes to get to my friend's house from downstairs to the elevator."

“Enjoy the height of the city, and the prosperity is at your feet...” This is an advertisement for some new housing projects, and it sounds really tempting. In the eyes of many home buyers, living at a high place has unobstructed sight lines, low humidity, excellent air quality, and minimal interference. Moreover, in large cities with scarce land resources, super high-rise residential buildings have high land utilization rates and can accommodate more households. Super high-rise residential buildings have become a trend.

Generally, landmark buildings are commercial office buildings, but now more and more super-high-rise residential buildings are rising. The reporter's investigation found that Shenzhen has completed super high-rise residential projects concentrated in Futian, Luohu, Nanshan and other areas, with more than 50 floors, especially the new projects entering the market this year. For example, the Jiafu Walden Mansion project in Futian District, according to the Futian Administration Bureau of the Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau’s announcement on the revision of the master plan of the Jiafu Walden Mansion project, the maximum number of floors of this residential project has reached 67 floors.

People living in cities have long been accustomed to the city skyline being constantly refreshed by super-tall office buildings and landmark buildings. However, what if the city is surrounded by super-high-rise residential buildings? Some people in the construction industry believe that because of their large size, complex functions, and large population, super high-rise buildings have stricter requirements than ordinary high-rise buildings in terms of internal safety, energy consumption, wind direction, and chimneys. The higher the building develops, the more technically difficult it becomes. big. Unforeseen factors such as fires, earthquakes, and man-made destruction must also be considered. The terrace-to-household ratio, residential population density, post-property services, floor selection, unit type, and orientation are all important factors that determine comfort.

For real estate companies, whether it is land acquisition in the land auction market or urban renewal projects, as land acquisition costs and time costs continue to rise, projects are often built into super high-rise buildings with higher profit margins. . However, the higher the number of residential floors, the greater the ground pressure, which will bring challenges to transportation and other supporting facilities, which requires relevant parties to conduct in-depth research. Some experts are even worried that although super high-rise buildings have a longer lifespan, what will happen to these super high-rise residences in a few decades? Will developers still spend huge sums of money on "urban renewal"?
