Each building occupies only about 200 square meters, with one elevator serving four households and two elevators per building. After deducting the common area, each household has a pitiful 20-odd square meters of space.
The developer's original intention was to sell to young men and women who came to D City from other places to work, imitating the "pigeon apartments" of first-tier cities. However, D City is not as expensive as first-tier cities, and these cramped apartments are not very popular. Such a small space is barely enough for one person to live alone, but young people will not stay young forever. Sooner or later they will have to settle down and start a family. Such a small house cannot even fit a family of three.
Compared to a tiny 20-square-meter room in a prime location, they preferred places like the university town where Tang Xiaoxiao had previously invested. Although it was farther from the city center, D City had a subway system long ago, making transportation convenient and effectively narrowing the gap between the area outside the Third Ring Road and the city center. For roughly the same price, they could buy a 50-60 square meter apartment in the university town—why not?
It was precisely because many people held this view that the housing prices in the university town development zone skyrocketed a few years later.
Located near the train station, other large residential complexes now have prices around 20,000 yuan per square meter. These apartment buildings were initially priced at 14,000 yuan, but no one was interested. Now the price has dropped to around 8,000 yuan, but they still can't be sold.
Tang Xiaoxiao calculated the time and knew that in a few months, this place would be booked by a mysterious wealthy businessman. After the renovation was completed, it would be rented out as a short-term rental, and the initial investment would be recovered in just a few years. After that, the annual rent would be a large profit.
Young people are unwilling to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a tiny, cramped apartment, but they are willing to rent a place close to their company and convenient for getting around.
The reason she knows so much is because Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi lived here in their previous life.
The rent of 3,000 yuan a month is indeed not low in the north, but since they both have income, they can afford it. The main reason is that the living here is comfortable; all appliances are fully furnished and free to use, and as long as it's not caused by human error, there's someone to repair any appliances that break down. Even if you want to add any appliances or furniture, you just need to let the landlord know, and he'll bring them over the next day.
Each building has 30 floors, and there is a convenience store on the 15th floor, so you can buy your daily necessities without going out. If you are too lazy to even take the elevator, you can make a phone call and the convenience store will send someone to deliver them to your door.
Because of its excellent service, which solves all the worries of young people, it is very popular despite its high rent.
After some estimation, it would cost around 150 million to acquire these three buildings, but Tang Xiaoxiao didn't have that much money on hand.
So even though she felt it was a pity, she could only eat about half a building's worth of food.
She could get a loan; with her current assets, a loan of 100 million should be approved, but that can't be done overnight, and she's afraid it won't be in time.
She didn't know exactly when the wealthy businessman in her past life contacted the developer. If she missed this opportunity while waiting for the bank's response, she feared she would regret it deeply.
She hadn't thought about it before, but it was when she passed through K City a few days ago that it brought back her memory.
Tang Xiaoxiao has memories of her past life and can be certain that this investment will not be a loss, but Han Yunqi does not know this. He has only heard that it has been more than two years since the investment was made and only a few units have been sold. When he learned that Tang Xiaoxiao intended to invest, he became extremely anxious.
