Chapter 0920 - Zoning the Territory

Jonathan and Troney wanted to work together to develop Hell's Kitchen and make it as bustling as the rest of Midtown Manhattan.

Li Zitao is also interested in this, and the price of land in Manhattan has been tested over time, and no matter what the market is, the price of land here has never fallen.

In the future, the price of land in Manhattan will even surpass Canada's GDP.

"How to divide it?" Since everyone is interested, then things are naturally easy to discuss.

Hell's Kitchen spreads from 34 blocks to 59 blocks, a total of 25 blocks, and is bordered by the Hudson River to the west, and East Grove Eighth Avenue.

None of the three of them considered whether there would be anyone inside who would not want to sell it, and at what price they should buy the land.

These problems were solved when Li Zitao decided to join, and as for where to go for those who live in Hell's Kitchen, five points in Downtown may be good.

It is also a slum area with a large number of Irish immigrants, and I believe that for the sake of our compatriots, they will get along very happily.

"Hell's Kitchen is about one-twenty-sixth of Manhattan Island, totaling 585 acres, and about 8 acres of public facilities and government land......"

Jonathan took out a survey map from his bag, it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect Li Zitao to agree so happily.

To transform this into a true Midtown, you need to completely renovate Hell's Kitchen and make it a thing of the past.

Otherwise, who wants to live in a place where the next street is full of gangs, where there are fights, violence and dead people every day, and safety is the primary environment to live in.

A 585-acre residential area with no more than 8 acres of public land and government land is a testament to how bad its environment is.

"I want it here. ”

Li Zitao's finger drew a shape on the map, and the area east of Hell's Kitchen to the center of Midtown and south to the lower city were all within his division.

Between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue, there are 5 blocks south of 34 to 38 blocks, which is the area that Li Zitao requested.

If Hell's Kitchen is compared to a piece of toast, Li Zitao will have to walk half of the outside, and the rest of the north leads to the upper city and the riverside area.

No matter how dangerous a place is, at least its surface (edges) are relatively safe, and Hell's Kitchen is the same.

When he came in from Eighth Avenue earlier, Li Zitao noticed this, at least the buildings and environment outside were acceptable.

The people who live there are forced to move here because of financial problems, and they will flee this hellish place as soon as they have the chance.

In this way, Li Zitao does not need to drive them out of it, but can use the change of environment to increase the rent appropriately.

After all, after the living environment is safe, their lives and property are also guaranteed, so it shouldn't be too much to increase the rent a little, right?

As for the issue of investment in development, he needs to see the changes in the overall environment before proceeding, and Li Zitao does not want his investment to be wasted.

To build it, it is necessary to build a commercial complex like Rockefeller Center, so that it can attract the attention of enterprises and elites to Midwest.

"Charlie, can you tell us about your plans?" Jonathan and Tronie discussed each other before deciding to hear his plans for the renovation first.

When they learned that Li Zitao was based on the Rockefeller Center, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of both of them.

This answer was far beyond their expectations, and it couldn't be more satisfying.

"So the 15 blocks south from the 59th block, west of Ninth Avenue are mine, and the 5 blocks in the middle are used to create mid-range apartments. ”

Jonathan's finger swept from the top down the 59th block to the edge of the 44th block, which occupies two-thirds of the top-down portion of Hell's Kitchen.

Blocks 39-43, also west of Ninth Avenue, belong to Tronie.

"Charlie's mixed-use complex will become the calling card and landmark of Midtown West in the future, and I will build the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, upscale apartments and offices. ”

If Jonathan wants to regain the title of the king of New York, he can't just think about profits, if he uses it all to build high-end apartments, it will bring him dozens of times the income.

Moreover, in his plan, these apartments are rent-only, not for sale, and offer professional high-end services, which can be said to be an alternative high-end family hotel.

The development of New York City has attracted more and more people to the city, and Manhattan Island is one of the star areas, and the wealthy prefer to live here.

As land became scarce, a large amount of foreign capital made Midtown more and more prosperous, making it the most crowded and densely built area in Manhattan.

If you want to live in a villa, a manor or castle, then leave New York, there is not enough land for you to splurge.

Now it costs more to build a manor house on Manhattan than to build a high-end condominium, after all, the apartment only needs to be built, and a piece of land is enough.

A luxury manor needs 3 to 4 pieces of land to be spliced together to achieve the desired effect, who would be so extravagant and wasteful.

Besides, there are high-rise buildings all around, whether you are walking, swimming, exercising or making out in the manor, it is equivalent to being under the nose of others...

I believe that as long as you don't have a disease in your heart, you won't choose to grow grass on your head.

The planning is done, and the area that Li Zitao got is the most promising and the easiest to solve the problem of demolition.

The area Jonathan has acquired occupies the main thoroughfare of Uptown, and there is a riverbank where a private pier can be built in the future, which is also good.

Tronie, the weakest of the three, although the land allocated to him is not the best, it will also make him a lot of money in the future.

After all, no matter how big a company, shopping mall, hotel, etc., it also needs people to work, manage and serve, and his mid-range apartment is the best choice for these people.

"Charlie, will Burched be free to take on the business here?" Jonathan wanted to hand over the renovation to Berchtel.

Not only because it is its own people, but also because of its professionalism and building safety, as well as its impressive speed.

"I'll get people to communicate, and it shouldn't be a problem. Li Zitao nodded and said.

The modern docks in the Persian Gulf are coming to an end, and with the exception of some finishing touches, a large number of workers will be returning to North America to devote themselves to Hell's Kitchen renovations.

This is not a small project, Li Zitao roughly calculated, to complete the renovation needs to invest at least nearly 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In addition, Becht can gain a wealth of experience in the renovation of old cities, and in the future, with the development and progress of the times, new city planning and renovation can be the focus of large engineering companies' profits.
