Since China is a socialist country, all land belongs of right to the state. But based on a special “land-use right” system, there are mainly four types of lease on land in China:
residential(Chinese:住宅用地), which is on a 70-year lease; industrial(Chinese:工业用地), which is on a 50-year lease; commercial(Chinese:商业用地), which is on a 40-year lease; and multiple purpose(Chinese:配套用地), which is on 40-year lease.

Due to rocketing real estate prices, many development companies have also shifted their strategies, and construct various complex buildings for commercial and residential purposes, which was originally targeted for office use.

Huilongguan West St and Huilongguan East St, the major artery in Huilongguan, including many infrastructural facilities and shops, will usher in two new members.

Top North Flats(Chinese:东亚上北鑫座), close to Line 13 of the Beijing Subway, offers 800 rooms and suits. Her slogan was “YOHO”, which means mini soho, mini office and mini studio. You, of course, can also intend to live in it as a residential space.

Hupotiandi(Chinese:琥珀天地), located in the core of Huilongguan business areas, with complete supporting facilities. It offers many types from 50 to 75 square meters. It also near by Line 13 of the Beijing Subway.

Although the disadvantage of the buildings for commercial and residential purposes obviously exists, people, especially the investors are interested in appreciation room and values in the future.

The new two construction will bring Huilongguan’s real estate into a new competition situation, maybe.

Goodby, The Most Consistent Household

Xu Jingming(Chinese:徐景明), finally, moved from his house in Lincui Road(Chinese:林翠路) soon after the construction company informed him that the compensation money had been remitted into his bank account on Dec 17, and his house was tore down in that night.

That means the “Nail Household” that has blocked the construction of a important arterial road in Beijing over four years is gone.

Five years ago, Beijing’s authorities decided to build a road that can link the Fifth-Ring Road(Chinese:五环路) and Huilongguan communities in order to alleviate traffic congestion in Badaling Expressway(Chinese:八达岭高速), the only arterial road in the northern part of the city.

But when the road was almost completed, one house continued to stand in the way as its owner refused to move. The result was the way has to narrow into one lane to round the house causing clogged traffic daily during rush hours.

The local government can offer 1.8 million RMB, but Xu asked for 5.8 million RMB in compensation in 2009. Now the deadlock has been broken. Neither Xu nor the government would mention exact amount.

“How much did the government pay?”, the question naturally floated around in everyone’s mind.
