Recently, the luxury residential project "Yucuiyuan" located in the Chaoqing area outside the East Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, under the Changshi Group founded by Li Ka shing, has obtained a pre-sale certificate and is about to start pre-sale.
According to the official website of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban Rural Development, Yucuiyuan is located at No.1 Courtyard, Yaojiayuan East Lane, Chaoyang District, Beijing. It was registered as "Yicuiyuan" and obtained a pre-sale certificate on July 18 this year. The pre-sale scope includes 9 residential buildings, with a permitted sales area of 93212.24 square meters. The highest proposed average selling price is 99744.99 yuan/square meter, and the lowest proposed average selling price is 90672.35 yuan/square meter.
"We have obtained the pre-sale certificate now and are ready to open for sale at any time, waiting for the company's notification." The salesperson of the "Yucuiyuan" project said, "Our project is currently the only new house for sale within the Fifth Ring Road, and there are still quite a few people looking at it. Moreover, we are a semi existing house, the house has been completed, and the high-rise glass has been hung. The house will be delivered by the end of next year."
Development cycle of 22 years
Public information shows that "Yucuiyuan" is developed by Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Changjiang Industry. According to multiple media reports, the total area of the Yaojiayuan project site where "Yucuiyuan" is located is about 400000 square meters. It was acquired by Hutchison Whampoa in 2001 for a price of 700 million yuan, with a floor price of only 1750 yuan per square meter. However, after the land was sold, construction did not begin until June 2005 and sales began in November of that year.
At present, there are two projects on this plot, "Yi Cui Yuan" which entered the market from 2006 to 2013 and "Yu Cui Shang Fu" which entered the market from 2012 to 2013. The upcoming pre-sale "Yu Cui Yuan" project is the last part of the plot to be developed, with a development period of 22 years.
Pengpai News found on the Beike housing search platform that the current average reference price for Yicuiyuan in July is about 90545 yuan/square meter; The average reference price for Yucui Shangfu in July is about 94439 yuan/square meter.
From the floor plan of "Yucuiyuan", there are a total of 26 buildings in the project, including 8 high-rise buildings with 16-18 floors and 18 low-density row products. High rise housing includes two types of units: approximately 140 square meters and 185 square meters; Low density row products are approximately 345 square meters of three floors above ground and 6.6 meters above ground.
The upcoming pre-sale of 9 buildings in "Yucuiyuan" includes 3 high-rise buildings with 16-18 floors and 6 low-density row products. The average selling prices for three high-rise buildings are 96465.86 yuan/square meter, 99744.99 yuan/square meter, and 98046.3 yuan/square meter, respectively. The average selling prices for low density row products in six buildings range from 90672.35 to 92372.54 yuan/square meter, exceeding the land acquisition price by more than 51 times.

The selling price is basically the same as the surrounding second-hand houses
From the supporting situation of "Yucuiyuan", it can be seen that the project is about 100 meters away from the Chaoyang Sports Center Station on Metro Line 3, which will be completed by the end of this year. The surrounding commercial facilities include the Guomao commercial district, Yansha Sanlitun, Lidu commercial district, Chaoyang Joy City, etc.

Chen Xiao, Senior Analyst at Zhuge Data Research Center, pointed out that the Chaoqing sector under "Yucuiyuan" is relatively active in transactions, adjacent to the superior location of CBD and Chaoyang Park, with convenient transportation and mature supporting facilities, and receiving radiation from the international trade CBD, making it a popular high-quality sector. From the perspective of the sector, the main items for sale are second-hand houses, with a unit price ranging from 80000 to 100000 yuan per square meter. The Yicuiyuan project under the Changshi Group, which was previously launched, has a unit price of over 95000 yuan/square meter. In the surrounding area, there are also Yingu Meiquan Homestead with a unit price of over 85000 yuan/square meter, and Huicheng Homestead with a unit price of over 80000 yuan/square meter.
Pengpai News has noticed that according to data from the Beike Housing Platform, based on the Yaojiayuan plot, "Yicuiyuan" currently has 38 units for sale, with prices ranging from 84000 yuan/square meter to 112000 yuan/square meter; "Yucui Shangfu" currently has 13 units for sale, with prices ranging from 85000 yuan/square meter to 106000 yuan/square meter.
Chen Xiao stated that Yucuiyuan is the last project developed by Hutchison Whampoa in Yaojiayuan, Beijing. Although the previous retail price reached 100000 yuan, the actual applied sales license price was slightly lower. This is also a timely adjustment made in response to the market situation. Faced with the continuous cooling of the market, the developer appropriately lowered market expectations. In addition, it is reported that the project site has been acquired for 20 years, with a long development cycle and shortened property rights.
The salesperson of the "Yucuiyuan" project stated that it is currently the only new house on sale within the Fifth Ring Road, and it is not yet known if it will be particularly popular, but there are quite a few people following it.
Chen Xiao pointed out that in the current context of market cooling, Yucuiyuan has lowered its price expectations, with a unit price of 98000 yuan/square meter per square meter compared to similar projects in the sector. However, there are not many new housing projects in the sector, so there should be no problem in terms of cost reduction. The products of row villas are also scarce within the Fourth Ring Road, and they can also gain certain favor upon entering the market.
