Core Viewpoint - The recent restrictions on high-rise buildings in China may lead to a resurgence in the value of low-rise residential properties, as policies shift focus towards improving older neighborhoods and limiting new high-density developments [9][10][15]. Summary by Sections High-Rise Residential Buildings - High-rise buildings have been seen as symbols of urban economic strength and modernization, allowing for greater population density and land utilization [3][4]. - However, the drawbacks of high-rise living are becoming more apparent, including high housing prices, safety concerns related to fire and elevator systems, and water supply issues [6][8]. Policy Changes - The Chinese government has begun to impose strict controls on the construction of new high-rise buildings, particularly those exceeding 100 meters, signaling an end to the trend of high-density residential development [9]. - Additional measures include lowering the threshold for elevator installation in buildings over four stories and promoting the renovation of old neighborhoods to enhance living conditions [10]. Opportunities for Low-Rise Properties - Two categories of older properties are expected to benefit from these changes: 1. Older homes in prime locations with good amenities, which will see increased demand and value due to renovations [13]. 2. Older homes with significant renovation potential, which can be upgraded to meet diverse resident needs, thus enhancing their market value [14]. - The push for elevator installations in older buildings will also make these properties more attractive to buyers [15].
