After the 403 earthquake, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan declared that we would enter an “Era of Metropolis Renewal” and emphasized that we would strengthen efforts to renew the metropolitan promotion through measures such as eight arrows for metropolitan renewal and more volume rewards. Starting from May this year, the mandatory age award will be reduced from 10% to 1% and will end in 2025. Whether it will be extended has stimulated discussions from all walks of life. CTWANT asked many experts and industry experts to give their opinions on whether they should support the provision of incentives to speed up volume upgrades. hinder the progress of the updates.

It is currently difficult to achieve the condition of “1 square meter inside for 1 square meter”, which makes it more common to engage in points per square meter, as long as the legal conditions are met For whole houses, sea sand houses and buildings with insufficient earthquake resistance and obvious hazards, the initial amount award will be increased from 1.5 times to 1.8 times to 2 times to encourage accelerated renewal of risks. old buildings; after this earthquake, there are also many The young legislators are considering extending the award period for the time-based awards for seniors at risk, which is near sunset.

Sun Zhenyi, a professor at the Department of Land Affairs at National Chengchi University, believes that in recent years, with the increase in labor and materials and the desire of owners to grow, the upper limit of initial size bonuses have grown enough in fact to provide public funds to subsidize and at the same time take care of people’s housing.

Sun Zhenyi also stressed that when the government takes the lead in urban renewal projects, it is easier for the public sector to comprehensively consider the interests of all parties and ensure that the principles of urban development planning and sustainability are adhered to. distribution environment and disadvantaged groups receiving appropriate resettlement It is worthwhile for the government to raise the maximum level of rewards to create a win-win situation.

Lai Zhengyi, the chairman of Xianglin Construction, also believes that it would be better to increase the size bonus by 10 to 20% “The biggest problem in negotiations at the moment is the allocation with landlords. many places, builders and landlords now have 46 points.” , the builder can’t just bear the construction cost. subsidize the construction cost, and both parties will be more willing to cooperate encouragement.”

“At this time, the total volume cannot exceed the upper limit of 2 times the base level, which is going to break through the roof!” He suggested that if the land area higher than 500 square meters, can be increased step by step from 5 to 20% development 200 to 300 square meters.

However, He Shichang, CEO of the Xinchuan Real Estate Think Tank, is concerned that the “generous giving of space” is like a “lottery for old houses” and may encourage landlords to “rebuild with” guaranteed” 1 ping for 1 ping”. Instead, “1 ping for 1 ping” Jump off the ground.” “Everyone thought at first that it would be easier to settle after the House of Haisha gave an additional 30% ability bonus, but it turns out that it is still difficult to do now. It proves that if we give more capacity, everyone just wants to share it.”

He described it as if there were 5 diamonds on the table. the builder or landlord might have someone who wanted more than 3 diamonds instead of 4, leaving only 2 for the other party.

“Looking at the issue of renovating public offices involving huge direct and indirect losses, the city government tried its best to reward the area as a whole. The scope of the rights was which has already been assigned 1.1 times the original rate, and the value of the asset has also doubled, but the internal space has not yet been allocated.

The value of the landlord’s assets increased significantly after reconstruction, but the original square footage has not yet been restored, causing dissatisfaction among landlords, some experts believe that the ability to transfer the land of the speed up landlords. (Photo / CTWANT Data Room)

Cai Hanlin believes that old houses are like old cars a new house without spending money It is now expected that rebuilding old houses will make a lot of money. It should be higher than the old house, which becomes a vicious circle.

Despite this, Li Tongrong, a real estate market trend expert, still believes that even if increasing the floor area ratio will benefit dilapidated houses, this will give the government enough reason to force people to replace them. will hinder the normal development area of ​​the city, he asked, Does not the unusual policy of putting elderly people at risk, one in the east and one in the west, cast another shadow on re- urban renewal? He also confirmed that there is no reward for increasing the size, except for dangerous houses that have been identified. there is a balance in the volume, the government can use it as a social housing or building a Revolving fund for a comprehensive study of dangerous buildings.

Although he has doubts about increasing volume incentives, Cai Hanlin believes that the level of coverage in some areas can be relatively relaxed. For example, the most valuable store front in a busy city center is the store front on the first floor After reconstruction, due to construction problems, public driveways and other regulatory restrictions, the most valuable store front cannot be restored the first floor to the first floor. area, not to mention illegal buildings and outbuildings.

“After reconstruction, the storage area has decreased significantly, often leaving less than half of the original area, which makes it even more difficult. the first floor and part upstairs, which may not be fulfilled. on the first floor after reconstruction has been reduced too much, and the solution can be accelerated by related issues.
