Which is better to buy a house VS an apartment?

Apartments were originally imported, and they are more economical and practical than single-family villas. Apartment houses in early big cities were all high-rise buildings, and there were several single-family suites in each floor, including bedrooms, living rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, etc., which were mainly used by middle-income senior staff and government civil servants at that time. Some of them are attached to hotels for short-term rental by some frequent Chinese and foreign businessmen and their families. China's early apartment houses already have the prototype of modern urban unit houses. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, apartment buildings with European and American styles were built in some big cities, such as broadway mansions and Seaside Apartment. China's housing construction has taken many detours since it learned from the experience of the Soviet Union in the 195s. This kind of residence built at that time was characterized by many rooms in a unit, usually 3~4 rooms; Large area, 14~18 square meters per room; The clearance is as high as 3~3.4 meters, and the kitchen is full of functions. However, this kind of residence is not in line with the living standard of our country and the size of the apartment. Later, it gradually evolved into a living mode of sharing several rooms and using kitchen. At present, in the 195s, this kind of large-room apartment house was eliminated from the architectural design form. However, due to its early construction, high level of municipal facilities and public facilities, and mostly located in the downtown area, it is still in demand in the housing market. This kind of residence has a large indoor space, and its function can be enhanced by interior decoration. In recent years, the apartment houses built in cities in China have been greatly improved in design to suit China's national conditions.

2. Modular residence

Modular (staircase-style) residence is the most widely used form of residential building in China. The biggest difference between this kind of residence and the corridor residence is that there is only one staircase on each floor, which can serve 2~4 households (one staircase on each floor of the large-depth residence can serve 5~8 households), and residents enter the household door from the landing. If the residential design is point-type, the households on each floor are distributed around a staircase; If the plane of the house is a strip (slab) design, a strip-shaped house can have multiple stairs. Whether it is one staircase with two households or one staircase with three households, the control area of each staircase is called a "residential unit". Therefore, the strip-shaped staircase multi-storey residence is also called "continuous unit residence". Point-type (pier or tower) ladder-type residence is also called "independent unit residence". The basic characteristics of the apartment are as follows: (1) Stairs are the center of each floor, and fewer households are arranged on each floor, and each household is self-contained. (2) The indoor living facilities are perfect, which not only reduces the mutual interference between households, but also adapts to various climatic conditions. (3) Standardized production is possible, and the cost is economical and reasonable. (4) Some public use areas, such as stairs, walkways and garbage lanes, are still reserved, which ensures neighborhood communication and helps to improve interpersonal relationships.

Commercial apartment

Commercial apartment can also be called commercial apartment and commercial residence, which can be subdivided into soho, scho, STUDIO and other forms according to different forms. It is a kind of high-grade property that can be used for living and working. It belongs to apartment type in property right, but it has the function of office building completely, and it is a kind of property with great investment value in recent years. The concept of commercial and residential apartment probably appeared at the end of 1998. At that time, Jiahuiyuan, near Zizhuqiao, was formerly an office building. Due to the depressed office market, the developer transformed it into a quasi-commercial apartment with upper-level residence and lower-level office, which was favored by growing small and medium-sized enterprises. Later, a number of similar projects appeared in Beijing, but they could not compete with the high-end office buildings in the region in terms of planning and design or business facilities, and there were also problems such as ownership of the main body and security in it in 1999. Soho Modern City was officially unveiled in 22, which brought people a new concept of home office. Commercial and residential apartments appeared with a brand-new look, and the design was no less luxurious than that of high-end office buildings. The business and living facilities also made users feel refreshed. Later, there appeared pure business apartments and commercial and residential apartments with "commercial and residential areas" in the market, and the market entered a new development boom. It is predicted that the number of commercial and residential apartments listed in the CBD or Zhongguancun area will be relatively large this year, and the investment in commercial and residential apartments is still a hot spot in the market. The emergence of commercial and residential apartments is the result of market segmentation. As the capital, Beijing is the political, economic, cultural, information and transportation center of the whole country. Coupled with the favorable factors such as the sound development of the national macro-economy, the success of China's entry into the WTO and the Olympic bid, many talents have been attracted to Beijing for venture capital. At the beginning of their business, they are small in number, with high mobility, low venture capital and high sensitivity to the price of office space. At this time, the price is low, and the commercial and residential apartments with better business environment meet the needs of this part of the market. In addition, a large number of small foreign enterprises have entered Beijing, which has also created a huge demand for commercial and residential apartments. As the main demand customer of high-grade office buildings, foreign-funded enterprises have been in a state of stagnation since the September 11 incident. The demand of large state-owned enterprises is basically saturated because of their previous purchases and leases. Therefore, the market demand for high-grade office buildings has obviously declined, and it is estimated that the price of high-grade office buildings will be lowered all the way this year. The middle and low-grade office buildings themselves are obsolete in the market. Not to mention that their business facilities can't keep up with the market demand, but their facade decoration gives people the feeling of "earth". I believe that more middle and low-grade office buildings will be converted into pure business commercial and residential apartments this year. At present, there are about 9 commercial and residential apartment projects in Beijing, with a total construction area of several million square meters, mainly concentrated in CBD and its radiation area, Zhongguancun and Asian Games Village. Among them, the distribution of CBD and radiation area presents the trend of "Liangmaqiao-Dongzhimen-Guomao-Guangqumen". In Liangmaqiao business circle, such as the early Binduyuan, Lihong Garden, Jindao Garden, Kang Li Tower, the recent Inter Apartment and Shanghai No.1 Center are typical commercial and residential apartments in this area; Secondly, Dongzhimen area, represented by oriental ginza, has concentrated high-grade commercial and residential apartments such as oriental ginza, Yuanjia International and Zhubang 2. With the introduction of CBD planning, the investment value of CBD core area is obviously bullish, and the strong business atmosphere and mature business facilities have created the glory of commercial and residential apartments such as soho Modern City and Youshige. Zhongguancun and the Asian Games Village itself are the birthplaces of commercial and residential buildings in Beijing. Besides Huiyuan Apartment and Tianchuang Shiyuan, early projects such as Wei Bohao, Tianxingjian, Changyuan Tiandi and Yangming Plaza are also commercial and residential apartments located in small and medium-sized growth enterprises. In addition, Jiajing Tiancheng in Wangjing, Jinhuan Apartment in Financial Street and Fenghua Haojing in Nancheng are also representatives of the new generation of commercial and residential apartments. It is estimated that the total development volume of commercial and residential apartments in Beijing in 23 will be at least 8, square meters, of which there will be no similar projects in the south of the city. There will be some projects in Xizhimen area in the west, Zhongguancun and Asian Games Village in the north will still be the key areas for development, while the vicinity of Chaoyang Road in the east will become new hot spots. The reason why small and medium-sized customers choose commercial and residential apartments as office space is nothing more than the low price of commercial apartments, which is completely caused by imperfect policies. As shown in the following table, Commercial and residential apartments are the result of developers profiting from the office market by using residential projects. Table-Project planning principles of various projects. Property types, service life, mortgage policy, transfer fee (per square meter), usage specification, commercial and residential dual-use building, 7 years, 8%, 2 years, 65-8 yuan commercial building, 7 years, 8%, 2 years, 65-8 yuan office building, 5 years, 6%. At present, the main price of commercial and residential apartments in Beijing is about 8-9 according to the office building (high standard) with the average price of CBD being the highest, around 1 yuan/square meter; Followed by Zhongguancun, which is between 7,-1, yuan/square meter. This price is much lower than that of office buildings in the same region, even lower than that of some high-end export apartments. With the increase of office supply and lower prices this year, how to maintain the price advantage will become a crucial factor for commercial and residential apartments to stand on the market. The changes of the following factors will play a decisive role in the market prospects of commercial apartments this year: The degree of perfection of national policies. It is not known whether the government will introduce substantive policies this year for commercial and residential apartments that are purely commercial. In case the policy loopholes are blocked, many advantages of commercial and residential apartments will also become a bubble. In addition, the control of land resources will also become the main factor limiting the development of commercial apartments. The development of mid-range office buildings and similar products in the same region. Due to the obvious shortage of demand for high-grade office buildings, the development of mid-range office buildings or similar products will definitely increase, which will form direct competition with commercial and residential apartments. Changes in market demand. With the increase in the development of business apartments in recent years, the problem of product homogeneity has become more and more obvious. Therefore, how to develop personalized products according to the changes in market demand will be the key to success. The concept of business apartments appeared in 22 and was basically recognized in 23. It is not called a business building, but a business apartment. It should be called

international standardized apartment with China characteristics

Recently, a new concept of architectural design-the concept of "international standardized apartment" is being paid more and more attention by the market. The concept system of "International Standardized Apartment" is a standardized measure to measure whether a residential product meets people's dual needs in living, living and spiritual aspects at the present time, which includes three aspects. First of all, it is the choice of lots. Many examples from all over the world can prove that the more prosperous the city center (such as CBD), the more ideal the choice for high-grade apartments. Secondly, it is the characteristics of space. The basic apartment unit of metropolis standard should be composed of six bedroom elements: living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, light and space. A comfortable living space, the above six elements are obviously indispensable. Thirdly, it is the culture of living. In modern apartments, indoor environmental design and landscape coordination outside the space are also very important. Neighbors, communities, decoration styles, furniture and property management have derived and created a new living culture. In view of this concept system of "international standardized apartment", Dongjing International, the first practitioner of this concept in Shanghai, located at the intersection of Pudong Avenue and Yuanshen Road, regards "one room, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and one balcony" as the basic elements of apartment design, and at the same time, it is fully bright, so that residents can have sufficient light and ventilation. This is different from the existing small-sized apartments in the existing market. In addition, the designer built a "hanging garden" on every fifth floor of four serviced apartments, which fully achieved the harmony and unity of garden environment and architectural planning.

what is a commercial apartment?

Commercial and residential apartment, as its name implies, is a product that can be used for business and residence, but there is no such title in architectural terminology, which is an irregular common name defined by people according to the function of the product. Commercial and residential apartments provide a place for small and medium-sized companies and freelancers who work at home. Generally, besides providing some living facilities, they also provide broadband local area network, business center, conference room, ticketing center and sufficient parking spaces. Commercial apartment is a frequently used word in the real estate market at present, and its products have also developed from ordinary houses that used to be used for commercial and residential purposes to SOHO with strong business functions, and then to STUDIO with various types of apartments. In addition to self-occupied customers, commercial and residential apartments have a large proportion of customers as investment.
