The owners of Nanyuan New Village, who have been adrift for 13 years, finally waited for the news of "going home" in the winter of 2023.
On December 15, the Urban Renewal and Land Preparation Bureau of Nanshan District, Shenzhen issued the "Reminder for the Expropriation of Housing in Nanyuan New Village, Nantou Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen". The announcement officially determined the scope of housing expropriation in Nanyuan New Village, and the Nantou Sub-district Office of Nanshan District was used as the implementation unit of housing expropriation.
Behind this paper expropriation reminder is a thirteen-year process of old reform. With the official launch of administrative expropriation, the Nanyuan New Village project has officially entered the "zero" stage, and the Nanyuan New Village urban renewal project, which has lasted for more than ten years, is expected to be reborn next year, and the journey of thousands of owners who have signed contracts is about to come to a successful end.
The owners of Nanyuan New Village are looking forward to "going home"
The old owners of Nanyuan New Village are looking forward to going home,
How many 13 years can wait?
The old reform has always been a tireless topic in the city.
Old houses are falling down one after another, in exchange for the new life of the area and a new beginning for the family, and the people are often concerned about the topic of urban renewal with envy and yearning. For Shenzhen, a city in its 40s, problems such as the depletion of land resources brought about by the rapid development period are also giving birth to the process of urban renewal.
In April 2010, the thirtieth year of the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, the first batch of renovation projects for urban renewal in Shenzhen was announced. In a public notice titled "The First Batch of Plans for the Planning and Formulation of Urban Renewal Units in Shenzhen in 2010", Nanyuan New Village and eight old residential communities, including Mutoulong, Jinzuan Haoyuan, Hetang Community, Huatai Community, Longxi Garden, Haitao Garden and Qiaodong District, were included in the first batch of plans, which were the first batch of renovation projects for urban renewal in Shenzhen.
As the first batch of renovation projects, these communities have more or less the problem of old and dilapidated houses, which not only affect the city's appearance and hinder the urbanization process, but also affect the residential safety and quality of life of residents.
When the community signs up to move out with anticipation, the wait is thirteen years.
"When will I be able to go home?" is a question often asked by the owners of Nanyuan New Village, but no one can answer them accurately.
Some of the older owners passed away after a long wait of 13 years, and some of the younger owners had only heard of their homes in Nanyuan New Village from their parents......
The "difficult birth" of Nanyuan New Village has a lot to do with the negotiation rules and the game between owners and developers. The cost of extending the process by one day or a year is unimaginable. In the case of cities, the slowness of the old improvement process will affect the overall planning and construction.
The owners who have already signed the contract wait one more day, and the uncertainty of whether they will be able to return home adds another point. It is understood that since the establishment of the project, 62 owners of Haitao Garden have passed away with regret, 49 of the old owners of Mutoulong are reported, and Nanyuan New Village has also passed away many old owners in more than ten years of waiting.
Nanyuan New Village is located in the core area of Nanshan District.
Located in one of the most mature core areas of Nanshan, Nanyuan New Village, which should have been a residential area in the bustling city center, has long been dilapidated, the internal roads of the original community are encroached by weeds, and the seeds of plants are carried by the wind to every place where they can take root, everywhere are wild grasses and wild flowers, and the contrast between the desolate people at night and the bustling city center next door is very striking.
In 2010, more than 1,400 contracted owners of Nanyuan New Village moved out of their homes to start the renovation, but no one expected that this would take 13 years. "How many more 13 years can we wait?"
Shenzhen's old reform ushered in a positive signal,
The frozen process has finally started again
On March 1, 2021, the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Urban Renewal Regulations" was officially implemented, which proposes targeted solutions to the current problems of Shenzhen's old reform.
According to Article 35 of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Urban Renewal Regulations, "when the proportion of the area of the exclusive part of the signed relocation compensation agreement or the number of property owners is not less than 95%, if the market entity and the unsigned owner still fail to negotiate after full consultation, they may apply to the district people's government where the project is located for mediation, and the district people's government may also convene the relevant parties for mediation." ”
Shenzhen Bantian No. 1 old renovation project.
This means that the original "double 100%" has become "double 95%", that is, after the contracted area and the number of contracted people reach 95%, the remaining 5% can be expropriated to promote the process of urban renewal projects.
Subsequently, Shenzhen issued the Provisions on the Expropriation of Uncontracted Houses in Urban Renewal in Shenzhen (Draft for Comments), which clarified the specific measures for the expropriation of uncontracted houses. According to the Draft, it is necessary for the government to grasp the old improvement process when the contract rate reaches "double 95%" and it can apply for compulsory expropriation.
In the past, the actual operation of the "double 100%" standard was very difficult, and as long as there were individual "nail households", it was not uncommon for the entire project to be unable to advance the old improvement process.
The arrival of the "double 95%" means that the last "5%" - that is, the uncontracted part of the urban renewal has a collection procedure, and the implementation is based on the law, pressing the shortcut key for the renewal project, so as to avoid repeatedly falling into the dilemma of "losing more" by developers and owners.
Some experts pointed out that the "double 95%" protects the interests of the majority of people, as well as the overall interests of urban residents, which promotes the healthy development of Shenzhen's old reform and real estate.
Some experts believe that the government's initiation of expropriation is in line with the spirit of the provisions of the Regulations on the Expropriation and Compensation of Houses on State-owned Land on the basis of public interest, because urban renewal and transformation is an integral part of the implementation of urban planning, and one of the purposes of transformation is to eliminate relevant safety hazards or further improve urban functions, optimize the production and living environment of the area and surrounding units and residents, and we should regard "public interest" as the basis for legitimacy.
After the promulgation of relevant regulations, Shenzhen's "long-delayed" old reform project was also pressed the acceleration button. The Luohu Mutoulong project became the first urban renewal project in Shenzhen to start the administrative expropriation method, and then Haitao Garden also received the intervention of the administrative force and made a breakthrough.
On March 30, 2023, the People's Government of Nanshan District, Shenzhen issued an announcement on the administrative mediation of the urban renewal unit of Nanyuan New Village, which is also the first case of initiating an urban renewal administrative mediation project in Nanshan District, and its legal basis is the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Urban Renewal Regulations issued on December 30, 2020.
Nantou Street established the Nanyuan New Village Project Administrative Expropriation Office.
Since the official launch of administrative mediation on March 30, some owners have signed mediation contracts. According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations", the termination of mediation will start the administrative collection as planned.
On December 15, the Urban Renewal and Land Preparation Bureau of Nanshan District, Shenzhen issued the "Reminder for the Expropriation of Urban Renewal Units in Nanyuan New Village, Nantou Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen", and the expropriation work will be officially launched. This is a day of great significance for Nanyuan New Village, because it not only means that the expropriation process of the first single house in Nanshan has been officially launched, and the problem of "nail households" that affects the old improvement process of Nanyuan New Village may be solved in the near future, but also means that the project can be expected to enter the stage of substantial construction.
If the renovation goes well, the high-rise buildings will be rebuilt here, and the old owners of Nanyuan New Village will also enjoy the dividends that have accompanied the economic development of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, which has been delayed for 13 years.
On the other side of the shore is home
And the ship keeps spinning
"Don't be afraid of the very few 'left-behind households'. "After the release of the "expropriation reminder", the old owners of Nanyuan New Village were very excited, and with the intervention of the government, the owners thought that the project should be able to start and implement it soon.
In fact, the contract rate of Nanyuan New Village has reached the standard of 95% as early as 2019. As of December 2023, the project involves more than 1,400 demolition households, and only more than 10 households have not signed contracts, and the contract rate has exceeded 99%. According to the owners who have signed contracts earlier, the compensation ratio of Nanyuan New Village is 1:1.33, which is said to be the highest among the eight major renovation projects in the same period.
"Some old community urban renewal projects have been slow due to the existence of 'nail households', which is a big unfairness for the owners who originally signed the contract and have moved out. Industry experts once told reporters in interviews that respecting the rights of minorities should not ignore the rights and interests of the majority.
In the past 13 years, some people have moved around and tasted the bitterness, some people have difficulty in employment, pension and marriage due to the problems of Nanyuan New Village, and dozens of old people who took the lead in signing contracts back then, some of them have not been able to go home at the last moment of their lives and have not been able to live in the new building. For 13 years, the owners who have signed contracts seem to be sitting on a boat with no view of the other side, and the other side of the shore is home, but the boat has always been spinning in place.
Nanyuan New Village has entered the "zero-clearing" stage
The owners of Nanyuan New Village finally found their way home after 13 years of wandering.
In accordance with the administrative expropriation process, the Nanshan District People's Government will officially announce the decision on housing expropriation - the relevant government departments will obtain the property rights of the uncontracted households and sign the relocation agreement with the market entity, confirm the qualifications of the implementation entity, and organize the relevant departments to implement the forced relocation and house demolition of the uncontracted households.
Nantou Street established the Administrative Expropriation Office of Nanyuan New Village Project.
The expropriation reminder brings hope to the residents who have signed contracts in the community, and brings hope to the reconstruction of the area. With the announcement of the project expropriation reminder, the difficult bone of Nanyuan New Village is about to be taken.
In fact, Nanyuan New Village is surrounded by large-scale district-level public service facilities, and is close to key areas such as the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone, the High-tech Industrial Park, and the Houhai Central District, shouldering the function of providing high-quality comprehensive supporting services.
However, the current construction level can no longer match the regional positioning, and it is urgent to break the bottleneck of spatial development through overall demolition and reconstruction, and connect with the new pattern of regional development in terms of spatial construction and supporting services.
Looking to the future, Nanyuan New Village will keep up with the pace and appearance of the city, and become a new business card of the city, which will not only be a modern quality life residential area that meets the requirements of urban development and location value of the area, but also has exquisite, open and diversified experiential commercial blocks, as well as business office function services, leisure and entertainment needs.
The owners of Nanyuan New Village have finally ushered in a happy ending after 13 years of waiting, and they are greeted with a bright future.
