Affordable, convenient housing for relocated residents
14/3/2003 14:23



A batch of affordable housing projects reserved for local residents relocated due to urban construction are expected to be complete by the end of the year, with an average price of 3,000 yuan (US$361.4) per square meter, the Labor Post reported today.

Some 70-80 percent of the units will have two bedrooms and a sitting room, with a total floor space of 70 square meters. Units with one bedroom and a sitting room, with 45 square meters of total floor space, will account for 15-20 percent, and 90-square-meter units with three bedrooms and a living room will account for 5-10 percent.

According to the regulations, housing projects for relocated residents, which must cover at least 50,000 square meters, should be located near the city's rail transportation lines with convenient access to services.

All the projects will go through quality inspection at the same time, said an industry analyst.

Construction of the six such projects launched last year is now in full swing, the analyst said.
