Conception center once again an attractive place to live.
This follows the latest industry figures show that building the community took this year at the regional leadership in building houses and apartments, with a spectacular increase of 66%, as measured by building permits issued by the municipality.
While in 2005 the municipality had issued permits for 138 thousand square meters, only in the period from January to October this year the figure is 230 thousand square meters. For architect
Waldo Martínez Riquelme, regional director of the Chilean Chamber of Construction, This is good news for the city, since in recent years, the leadership had reached San Pedro de la Paz, who had also moved to the town of Talcahuano.
In total, in the towns of Concepcion, Talcahuano, San Pedro de la Paz, Chigwell, and Colonel Hualpén surface approved building permits (about 80 square meters) during the first ten months this year reached to 743 thousand meters square, considering new projects and expansions. This figure is 22% higher than the same period of 2005.
Waldo Martinez says it is noteworthy also that the total supply of housing in the area, half are departments which are heavily concentrated in the center of Concepción.
The sectors that concentrate on building height are Chacabuco Avenue and its surroundings, near the Parque Ecuador.
also the views of green areas and lakes has been particularly attractive for this type of project and rise buildings in the plaza Cruz, Manuel Rodriguez Avenue, near the lakes Round Three Pascualas and Caracol hill. Grant
The grant of 200 UF (over $ 3.6 million) for "urban renewal area" that since 9 November last year includes the entire city center of Concepcion was one of the triggers of this "boom" in the center of the city. The Grand Design
only 5% of housing supply in the segment is less than 999 UF, the vast majority, 55%, is between 1,000 and 1,999 UF, followed by 27% of those between 2,000 and UF 2999, only 8% are in the range of 3,000 to 3,999 UF, while 5% of the total are those of UF 4 000 or more.
With these values \u200b\u200bplus the subsidy, the average dividend of a two-bedroom apartment in the center bordering $ 180 billion. North Shore
largely absent
In the town of Concepción project The oat breeding career ended with this "limit" observed today urban apartment towers under construction across the flat area, including a major project of a 22-story tower that will rise on the corner with Colo-Colo Prieto.
Watching the city from the air shows that this strong growth in the building extends across the plane, with one notable exception: the sector of the North Shore.
Waldo Martinez believes it is inconceivable that the housing boom of the city, where there is demand for land, does not reach to get to the Costanera.
Why, if there are cloths for sale by the Serviu in this sector have no private interest?.
The academic answer to this is the limit imposed by the railway, which prevents the effective integration of the city with the river Bio Bio. For this reason stresses the urgency that must mean the underground project.
If Valparaíso and Viña del Mar can now build a subway, why not Concepción?, Raised Martínez. Sergio
Baeriswyl
"Figures show that repopulation plan has been successful"
Architect Advisor of the Municipality of Concepcion explained that the flexibility of the regulatory plan has been Key in this process.
Densification Design Center allows better use of services offered by the city.
The plan to repopulate the downtown Concepcion launched last year is working. So says the consulting architect of the municipality, Sergio Baeriswyl, who notes that the figures for building permits and the significant finding housing supply realizes that progressively the commune again be considered the first choice for families looking to buy a place to live.
In the center is basically being built apartment buildings where the height limits were increased by the new master plan.
What makes this project attractive is the proximity of all city services, including government offices, trade, educational and health centers, avoiding the need for long journeys by car or bus.
in this area has been instrumental in the attraction of green areas such as Ecuador Park and also influences the beautification and renovation of public spaces, such as Plaza de la Independencia, the boulevard Barros Arana and underground parking.
But not everyone is so bullish on this process of growth in height of the city. The architect and scholar Antonio Zelaya, on a recent day of reflection held in the town, raised concerns about what would happen if there were to build anything that allows the current master plan.
To test this hypothesis, an architecture student made a virtual simulation of the design plan built to the maximum, with large apartment blocks along the avenues Chacabuco, Prat, Paicaví and The Race. To Zelada the result is merely "monstrous." Baeriswyl
replies that it is impossible that these limits of construction in the city even happen one day, adding that if that occurs in any area, it is possible to re-impose restrictions.
A play yard where
One reason why many families with children looking for a house and not a department, is the availability of a patio or garden to play. However, the need to maximize land use leads to many houses are set close together lift each other, with few gaps.
What does the master plan on this?. Sergio
Baeriswyl replied that sets new townhouses being built in Concepción meet the maximum density allowed, which is 40 dwellings per hectare.
adds that in the case of low density single-family homes is even more, 25 or 30 houses per hectare.
In the case of condominiums allow greater density, considering that they have common areas, courtyard and gardens, which allow children to have a place to run, play and develop their activities.
The benefits of other communities
Departments overlooking the lake and the sea
Living in an apartment overlooking the sea and was no longer an impossible dream for Concepción, with projects that are currently running.
not only the municipality of Concepcion is experiencing a housing boom.
According to figures of the Chilean Chamber of Construction, in the first ten months of the year in Talcahuano (including Hualpén) have applied for permits for 181 thousand square meters, followed by San Pedro de la Paz with 159 thousand to 110 thousand Colonel Chiguayante with 60 thousand.
Although peripheral communes Conception as many homes being built is for houses, they also develop projects of apartment buildings, whose best selling point is that they offer splendid views of the lake, ocean, river Biobío or three landscapes at once, as in the case of those that are located in the hills surrounding the lakes of San Pedro de la Paz.
In this community also run projects that are located in front of buildings sea, as well as in Penco and Pingueral of Dichato sector in the municipality of Tomé.
In the latter case, however, is a tourism-oriented project on vacation and second homes.
However, thanks to the ongoing project of Penco pass circuit, to be completed by 2008, it is expected that the travel time between and I took to fall to just 25 minutes with what this community hopes to win a greater share of this first home market. For this there are several real estate projects in the coastal areas of Punta de Parra and Cocholgüe, they expect this opportunity.
