New high-rise buildings shall not exceed 500 meters! The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) also needs cold thinking behind skyscrapers.

According to the news of official website of the National Development and Reform Commission on July 6, in order to further strengthen the management of infrastructure construction projects, adhere to quality first, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the National Development and Reform Commission recently issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Infrastructure Construction Projects to Ensure the Safety and Quality of Projects, in which it is proposed to strictly implement the examination and approval system for seismic fortification of buildings over 100 meters, which is suitable for the city scale and spatial scale, and matches the fire rescue capacity; Strictly restrict the construction of new buildings over 250 meters. If it is really necessary to build, it is necessary to review the construction plan in combination with special demonstrations such as fire protection and report it to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development for the record; No new super high-rise buildings over 500 meters shall be built.

The reporter found out that as early as April last year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on further strengthening the management of urban and architectural styles. Strengthen the management of urban and architectural style from three aspects: defining the key points of urban and architectural style management, perfecting the management system of urban and architectural style, strengthening the implementation of responsibilities and propaganda and guidance. It is mentioned that the blind planning and construction of super-high-rise "skyscrapers" in various places is strictly restricted, and buildings over 500 meters are generally not allowed. Due to special circumstances, it is really necessary to build in various places, and special argumentation and strict examination should be carried out in fire protection, earthquake resistance and energy conservation. If it passes the examination, it should be reported to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission for examination.

According to CTBUH global high-level database, China has the largest number of skyscrapers in the world. Among them, Shenzhen has the most skyscrapers in China.

Skyscrapers test the ability of developers.

After the Ping An Financial Center, which is nearly 600 meters high in Shenzhen, was capped, the discussion on the height of architectural landmarks in Shenzhen did not stop there.

Who will be the tallest building in Shenzhen in the future?

From the old city reconstruction project of Caiwuwei in Luohu, Shenzhen, to the old city reconstruction project in Hubei, and then to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center in Longgang District, the market has always been controversial about the height of each project. A few days ago, Shenzhen Planning and Natural Resources Bureau announced the detailed blueprint adjustment results of Shenzhen Longgang Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center project, in which the super tower of 0 1-07 plot was reduced from about 700 meters to about 600 meters, and the final approval was subject to the approval of the aviation department. However, the reporter found out that there were several versions of the previous high-level discussion on the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center project, and there was no final plan.

The evaluation results of the international competition scheme for architecture major in C2 plot (including the central area) of urban renewal unit in Hubei as a whole have been released recently. In other words, how to design and build a 500-meter-high "Beta Lake" has finally come to fruition. On May 3 1 day, the core tube of Sungang City Center in Luohu District was capped as scheduled, with a height of 388m.

Recently, Shenzhen SEG Building has been shaken. At present, the monitoring, testing and appraisal work is still accelerating, but it also makes more people start to think about how to ensure the safety of completed super-high-rise buildings. Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that skyscraper projects are more valuable in establishing urban landmarks, especially in absorbing the best resources of the city and realizing the economic development of regional headquarters. Therefore, if developers have the economic ability, they will be more interested in the development of such skyscrapers. Of course, the cost of skyscrapers is high land cost first, followed by very long development cycle and very high operational requirements.

From an economic point of view, "being tall" does not mean high income. Super high-rise buildings are on the rise, but high-end tenants are limited. Wang Di Mansion, which has maintained the title of "the tallest building in Shenzhen" for more than ten years, is only at a medium level in Shenzhen's commercial market.

Cold thinking of living higher and higher.

"Enjoy the heights of the city, prosperity is at your feet ..."

These are advertisements for some new housing projects, which sound really attractive. General landmark buildings are commercial office buildings, but now more and more super-high-rise residential buildings have sprung up, especially some urban renewal projects. But what is the function of skyscrapers? Is it to make full use of space, or to show the rapid economic development through the construction of buildings? Some insiders said that all buildings eventually need to return to the use attribute, and skyscrapers are no exception. Landmarks may not be the purpose, but skyscrapers need to be people-oriented.

Recently, the Urban Renewal and Land Preparation Bureau of Futian District, Shenzhen issued the Special Planning Revision (Draft) of the shantytown renovation project in the east and west areas of Huafu Village in Futian District, and reviewed and approved the Planning Revision of the shantytown renovation project in the east and west areas of Huafu Village in Futian District. According to the plan, Huafu Village will build a 15 super high-rise residence with a total construction area of 640,000 square meters. The reporter's investigation found that many cities in Shenzhen have updated the residential part of the project under construction, with more than 50 floors. Moreover, the Jiafuwalden Mansion project in Futian District is expected to enter the market soon. According to the announcement of Futian Administration Bureau of Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau on revising the general plan of Jiafuwalden Mansion project, the highest floor of the residential project has reached 67 floors.

"I have tried to stay in such a high hotel, but it is really hard to imagine staying on 50 or even 60 floors every day." Chen Wen (pseudonym), who is going to buy a house, has been looking around recently. He found that the houses in Shenzhen are getting taller and denser. "I once went to a friend's house and lived on the 48th floor. Although there are odd-numbered elevators and even-numbered elevators, it took more than 10 minutes to wait for the elevator from downstairs to a friend's house because it happened to be in the rush hour. "

The reporter found out that the super-high-rise buildings that have been built in Shenzhen are gathered in Futian, Luohu and Nanshan, and the land supply source is mainly urban renewal. For housing enterprises, urban renewal projects have a good location, and the land acquisition cost and time cost are rising, so the projects are built into luxury houses with higher profit margins, while the self-sustaining parts are often built into super high-rise buildings. Some market participants said that the higher the number of residential floors, the greater the ground pressure, which will bring challenges to transportation and other supporting facilities, which requires more in-depth research by relevant parties. Some experts even worry, what will happen to these super high-rise houses in 70 years? Developers are unlikely to be willing to spend a lot of money on "urban renewal" again.
