What are the reasons for the height limit of serviced apartments in Nanjing?

Recently, the Nanjing Municipal Government promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Construction Area of Construction Projects in Nanjing. The height of Nanjing serviced apartments is limited to 4.8 meters to 3.6 meters, and the use of bay windows, balconies, eaves galleries, overhanging corridors and other "stealing pillars" will also be prohibited.

The "Measures" issued this time put forward that if the construction project is not built according to the approved plan, resulting in super-high floors and super-size, the super-built building area will be converted according to relevant standards. The height of houses and apartments (including serviced apartments) exceeds 3.6m, the height of office buildings and R&D buildings exceeds 4.2m, and the height of ordinary commercial buildings (facades) exceeds 4.8m, with an increase of 1 times when it exceeds 2.2m, and 0 times when it is less than 2.2m..

In the enclosed space within the main structure of the building, the space below 2.2 meters high is calculated as half of the enclosed area of the main structure of the building. If the external components of buildings, such as bay windows, balconies, eaves galleries, overhanging galleries, shelves of outdoor air conditioners, curtain walls, etc., do not conform to the relevant measures for the review of the design scheme of construction projects in Nanjing, the total area shall be calculated according to the horizontal projection area of the periphery. The Measures will be implemented on July 1 this year. Construction projects that have signed formal land transfer contracts before the implementation of these Measures shall still be implemented in accordance with the original provisions.
