Construction Statistics Shanghai

We’re dipping our toes in the real estate market in Shanghai and as a first step called an agent who was referred to us by a friend.

After telling him the price range, the first question was: “How many bathrooms do you want?”

Are bathrooms the new status symbol?

Data about construction in Shanghai
from the latest 8days magazine

  • Total are of Shanghai that has been reconstructed - 22.650.000 m2
  • Number of architecture firms - 44
  • Number of high-rise commercial buildings built every year - 400
  • Total area of all the public parks in Shanghai by 2010 - 20.000.000 m2 *
  • Total expansion of Shanghai’s downtown area since the 1980s - 480 km2
  • Total land area that has been used to build new residential areas over the last 5 years - 80.000.000 m2

* I doubt this will materialize with the said square meters. Real estate/city development plans always include parks and green areas. They somehow are just forgotten at the end stage of the building.
