Chapter 150 Sales Office Experience
Next, we will introduce the big sandbox of the project.
It cost tens of thousands of dollars to make this large model. It not only perfectly presents the exterior of the building, but also adds lighting and landscaping. The furniture and characters in the house can be seen through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and they look lifelike.
From Fang Yue's professional perspective, no matter how exquisite and beautiful this building is, it still feels too deep. With a depth of 16 meters, most units are only illuminated from the north and south sides, and only the side units have light from three sides, so there must be a dark room in the middle.
But when she saw the floor plan, she felt relieved. This was a luxury house, and the dark rooms had many functions.
At the door of the model room, there are special people to help visitors put on shoe covers. Even women's high heels have special shoe covers, which are less likely to be stepped on than ordinary shoe covers. It is very considerate.
Fang Yue hurriedly asked where the shoe covers were ordered from. She also wanted to get a batch of shoe covers suitable for high heels for her sales office in the future.
Lin Ruoyan took the opportunity to introduce the medical supplies factory she had acquired, saying that they also sold disinfectant, gloves, and masks, not just shoe covers. The shoe covers could also be labeled with the property's name to help deepen the impression on customers.
Fang Yue also noticed that the brochure indicated that the property management company for the future luxury homes was a well-known overseas property management company, so she asked, "Did you hire a foreign team, or did you hire a local one?"
"Our first luxury home project is run entirely by an international team, so we have attractive butlers who are already learning Mandarin. In the future, we will collaborate with that property management company to offer localized high-end property management training and develop our own property management team. If this property management company becomes successful, we can also provide external services."
"That's great. There are some so-called luxury homes in the south, but the property management is really not that good. Mr. Lin's is a real luxury home. Not only are the architecture and landscaping first-class designs, but if the property management is also provided by real foreigners, it would be really high-end. I just don't know how much the property management fee is?"
The sales representative answered: "We give away the first two years of property management fees when you buy a house, and we plan to charge ten yuan per square meter per month in the future."
"So expensive? Will anyone really pay for it? Your apartment is a large one with an area of 400 square meters, and the annual property management fee will be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan." Fang Yue was shocked.
It’s bad enough that houses are sold at a high price of tens or hundreds of millions, but the property fees are also so expensive. How high is the cost of living?
In Lin Ruoyan's opinion, in a dozen years, the property fees in high-end residential areas in Beijing will be much higher than ten yuan, and the property fees in overseas cities will also be high, supporting the high-end service enjoyment.
Lin Ruoyan didn't need to answer this question. The salesperson had already begun explaining the property management services. Besides the standard services, the property management fee also included free use of the various facilities in the over 10,000 square meter sunken clubhouse, including the library, swimming pool, and gym. There was also free use of the clubhouse banquet hall twice a month, but reservations had to be made in advance.
The clubhouse has a dedicated graphic description. Although the main structure is underground and doesn't occupy the sales floor, it is surrounded by water and blends seamlessly into the landscape, creating a sophisticated and unique experience. Owners park in the basement, and a dedicated elevator and passageway provide access to the clubhouse, making it a great place to entertain guests.
Because the luxury housing project's sales office is located off-site, rather than being temporarily used as the clubhouse within the project for future renovations, the clubhouse has been fully renovated according to its original design and functionality, creating a seamless blend of luxury and landscape. This type of clubhouse surpasses, if not surpasses, traditional villa clubhouses in Beijing, and is unparalleled in any other urban development, resulting in a truly stunning experience.
Only high property fees can support the operation of such a high-end club that only serves the owners.
The model room has two main types of apartments, one is a side apartment with lighting on three sides, and the other is a middle apartment with lighting on two sides.
Each unit has three elevators, one of which is a workers' elevator that is integrated into the stairwell and does not interfere with the two main elevators.
During the inspection, there was no partition between the two elevators. After the regular inspection, the public areas of the entire building were renovated and a partition with a door was added. This allowed each household to have its own elevator and private access to the elevator lobby.
Fang Yue learned this lesson. She built high-rise buildings with three to four units per elevator. However, there was a large apartment building with two units per floor. According to regulations, two elevators were required. If a partition was added later, with each unit receiving an elevator, it would appear more upscale.
Lin Ruoyan wasn't afraid of Fang Yue learning these things; those concepts would already be basic operations in the future. Her luxury housing project had already borrowed many of the selling points of future luxury homes, and bringing them out now would indeed give people a refreshing experience.
Each home features a 1.8-meter-tall, double-leaf, copper-clad, handmade front door. The vendor claims each door's pattern is unique. The interior ceilings are 3.2 meters high, and the entrance hall is spacious and elegant, with ample shoe storage, perfect for enjoying a visit while enjoying a painting or changing shoes.
While 400 square meters is spacious, it can accommodate up to four bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, and the living room also has an additional two-piece guest bathroom. Furthermore, the Chinese and Western kitchens are separated, with the Chinese kitchen having a separate door to prevent fumes from cooking, while the Western kitchen is integrated into the dining room and features an island counter, creating a spacious and bright space.
The Chinese and Western kitchens, the housekeeping balcony, and the nanny's room are unified into the housekeeping area, centralizing the flow of traffic. This is combined with the rear entrance design of the house, allowing for a worker's staircase that doesn't interfere with the main and guest staircases in front. Of course, the nanny's room isn't cramped, being equivalent to a bedroom in an ordinary residence, complete with a private bathroom.
The master bedroom suite is at the back, with a study connected to the living room by a hidden door. The master bedroom bathroom has natural light, with two washbasins and toilets for the master and the mistress. The dressing room is very large, with separate dressing areas for men and women.
The remaining secondary bedrooms are equipped with double beds or single beds according to different preset needs, which can accommodate three generations living together, or two generations plus occasional guests.
After a quick walk around, Fang Yue finally discovered the location of the dark room. Besides being converted into a bathroom or storage room for the secondary master bedroom, the model apartment also renovated a "dark room" area into a collection of cultural relics.
For collectors of cultural relics, the ideal environment is to use equipment to adjust the temperature and humidity and avoid exposure to light. Therefore, this decoration design caters to the needs of customers at this level and can be regarded as turning decay into magic. This room has become the finishing touch.
The two model apartments, one Chinese and the other Western, each had its own unique charm. All the visible soft and hard furnishings were high-end brands, making even Fang Yue tempted to buy one. She could also see the exquisite interior design, and after inquiring about the designers and their fees, she immediately gave up the idea of hiring them to create a model apartment for her project.
The design fee was too expensive! At over a thousand yuan per square meter, if you factored in the construction and renovation costs, Fang Yue felt the unit price for her project was completely unsustainable.
No wonder Lin Ruoyan's mansion boasts a 10,000 yuan per square meter renovation cost, with design fees accounting for over 1,000 yuan. With doors costing tens of thousands of yuan, five or six toilets costing tens of thousands of yuan, and expensive authentic stone and wood paving, it's a real expense.
It's not comparable, just a marvelous look. After Fang Yue finished touring the model apartment, she sat in the sales office drinking tea and began to seriously consider buying one for herself. If it looked just like the model apartment after it was built, and she didn't have to worry about decorating it herself, buying a house like this in Beijing would be a great choice.
Of course, Fang Yue wouldn't be so impulsive as to put down her money right now. She was thinking about waiting for the sale. How could such an expensive house sell so quickly? Perhaps by the time the building was completed and the landscaping was established, there would still be plenty of options to choose from.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the price of the units in this project had already reached over 5 million yuan, there were already over 300 interested parties, and there were only over 200 units in total. By the time she wanted to pay, they were gone.
Even Lin Ruoyan did not expect that the project would sell dozens of units as soon as it was launched in November, and all of them were sold out before the Spring Festival.
