The largest transportation hub in Asia will be the most powerful propeller to enhance the business environment value of Dongzhimen.

Historically, Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen were once the most prosperous areas in Beijing, and they were the distribution centers of money and grain in old Beijing, and their economic status was very important. However, from the 1980s and 1990s, Dongzhimen was in the limelight, eclipsed by Lufthansa, Saite and CBD. In the memory of old Beijingers, more than a decade ago, Dongzhimen was the oldest, dirtiest and most chaotic old city reconstruction area in Dongcheng District.

Today, that messy building complex has been replaced by a three-dimensional urban public transportation system and modern commercial buildings. With the completion of Dongzhimen transportation hub and the start of "East Second Ring Traffic Business District", a modern, international and energetic Dongzhimen will stand in Dongcheng, shoulder to shoulder with CBD, and build a brilliant new Beijing together.

"Asia's first" transportation hub

"For improving the business environment of Xizhimen and Dongzhimen, the traffic problem is both a stumbling block and a propeller." Li Wenjie, general manager of Zhongyuan Real Estate, said.

The "docking" of Metro Line 2 and Metro 13 in Dongzhimen has firmly gathered popularity here. Before 2002, there were only a handful of "tall buildings" here, such as Huapu Center, Old Poly Center, Hong Kong and Macao Center and so on. At that time, it was the intersection of these two tracks that made Dongzhimen the focus of real estate developers.

Dongzhimen comprehensive transportation hub under construction contains greater opportunities for Dongzhimen.

In Beijing's planning, Dongzhimen transportation hub is listed as a supporting project for the 2008 Olympic Games and a key infrastructure project in Beijing, with a total construction scale of 700,000 square meters, the highest in Asia.

According to reports, Dongzhimen transportation hub has two floors above ground and underground, one is the bus arrival departure station, and the other is the maglev train arrival departure station and the second departure hall of the Capital Airport. The second floor underground is the arrival and departure station of the urban light rail from Xizhimen to Dongzhimen, and the first floor underground is Dongzhimen Station of the ring subway. There are escalators between floors, so it is very convenient for passengers to change here.

In this three-dimensional transportation hub, people can easily complete the transformation of seven modes of transportation, such as urban bus, suburban bus, subway, urban light rail, airport high-speed rail, taxi and water yacht. As the largest transit station of urban light rail, it takes only 15 minutes to drive from Dongzhimen to Zhongguancun and 12 minutes to drive to the Olympic Village. From Dongzhimen out of the city, you can go through the registration formalities at Dongzhimen Wharf and check your luggage, which makes it more convenient and fast for business people to travel.

Urban planning experts believe that a modern city is first of all a city in motion, and different modes of transportation are like different veins, which make the city full of vitality. As a transportation hub integrating various modes of transportation, it not only concentrates popularity and wealth because of the convenience of transportation, but also becomes the source of urban power and changes the image and structure of the city.

cumulative effect

Twenty or thirty years ago, the development of Beijing stopped at the Second Ring Road, and Dongzhimen was the first stop from the airport to Beijing. Today, even the five rings have been opened, and Dongzhimen's status has long since disappeared. The planning of Dongzhimen-Airport high-speed rail will redefine the importance of Dongzhimen. According to the plan, the express track of the Capital Airport is 28 kilometers long, starting from Dongzhimen transportation hub, with one branch line reaching T2 terminal and the other branch line reaching T3 terminal.

On this high-speed railway, there is a maglev train with a speed of 100 km/h, and it takes 16 minutes from Dongzhimen to the Capital Airport. At present, the news from China Railway Electrification Group Corporation is that the bid section 12 of the Capital Airport Rapid Rail Transit Project has been fully started, and it is expected to be put into trial operation in July 2008 1 day.

Judging from the present situation, there are many high-rise buildings near Dongzhimen, and oriental ginza (Forum Album Apartment), Donghuan Square and Tianheng Building have attracted people from all directions. Taking Dongzhimen comprehensive transportation hub and Donghua Plaza business district as carriers, Dongzhimen area will form a new business district in eastern Beijing. In the future, there will be two intelligent "twin towers" office buildings with a height of1.50m in Dongzhimen area, as well as a number of noble commercial and residential apartments, star-rated hotels, international convention and exhibition centers and large-scale commercial facilities, with commercial facilities reaching 470,000 square meters, forming the north gate of the ——CBD, the birthplace of Beijing's new economy and new wealth.

Due to its special agglomeration effect, Dongzhimen area has been endowed with strong investment appreciation attribute and high return on investment from traffic, land parcels and property, which is characterized by land scarcity and obvious lack of follow-up development. Experts pointed out that Dongzhimen is the most valuable investment area in Beijing, and its transportation advantage not only shortens the distance between CBD and Zhongguancun, but also greatly shortens the time and space distance between the urban area and the Capital Airport. The potential, speed and growth rate of its real estate appreciation will be impressive.

Hubble is a small city.

No matter how the city develops, people in the city always have the same requirements: people need to "exercise" and move from one place to another; People need to "arrive" to realize the urban functions of the destination, such as work, rest, shopping and making friends.

Transportation hub is a "centralized place" of urban transportation mode, and it is also a closed urban space, and its role will far exceed the traffic itself.

Economists have done research, and the place where social value is easy to produce is the place where people communicate and the place where people gather the most frequently. Looking at the construction experience of developed cities in the world, Central Station, La Defenses, Shinjuku, Tokyo and Central, Hong Kong, without exception, strongly stimulated and promoted the rapid economic development of this region by virtue of the intensive flow of people, logistics and capital brought by transportation hubs.

The future Dongzhimen transportation hub is not only a transportation function, but also should have all the functions of the city, forming a complete "Dongzhimen transportation hub and Donghua Square comprehensive service economic zone". In such a modern business facility group with perfect transportation and communication infrastructure, a transportation business district will be built, which is mainly composed of airport services, business services, computer services, telecommunications, finance and other knowledge-based services, and is composed of well-known domestic enterprises, foreign-funded financial enterprises, foreign manufacturing regional headquarters or China headquarters, R&D center, sales exhibition center or financial settlement center. Tourism, retail, leisure, culture, entertainment and other consumer facilities will also be concentrated here. Every day, nearly one million people visit Shang Chao, making it another "new business district" in Beijing.

The value potential is budding.

In the past, the commercial atmosphere in Dongzhimen area was not strong, but with the large-scale centralized construction of the East Second Ring Road commercial belt, "from 2005, the East Second Ring Road area entered the peak of new project supply, and the momentum of sustained growth will be maintained until 2008. These office buildings will become important commercial real estate supply products in Dongzhimen area within three years. " Li Wenjie said.

It is understood that the office buildings currently under construction in Dongzhimen Business Circle mainly include nearly 20 projects, such as New Poly Building (forum photo album style), Nanxincang Building (forum photo album style model room video), Tianheng Building, Donghua Plaza, CYTS Building, China Petroleum Building and Wumart Group Headquarters Building. Compared with CBD, Zhongguancun and Financial Street, the office building quality in Dongzhimen business district is not low, the regional traffic and business atmosphere are getting stronger and stronger, and the sales price and lease price are nearly 30% lower than that in CBD, so its investment potential can be imagined. According to industry insiders, from the perspective of commercial real estate investment, Dongzhimen seems to be the CBD three or four years ago.

According to the statistics of Zhongyuan Real Estate, in the first quarter of 2005, compared with the fourth quarter of 2004, the rent index of the East Second Ring Business District in Beijing's Grade A office market rose by 2.72%, ranking first among all major business districts. The general price of office buildings in this area is close to 20,000 yuan/square meter, and the new Poly Building is more than 3,000 dollars/square meter. For enterprises, convenient transportation can save a lot of material and time costs. In this regard, people in the industry have praised the East Second Ring Road. Tianheng building developers believe that developers "spontaneously formed a recognition of the value of the region, and chose the location here."

Dongzhimen's residence has also experienced a "jaw-dropping" appreciation. Haisheng Mingyuan opened at a price of around 8,000 two years ago, and now the average price per square meter has exceeded 20,000. Oriental ginza, Harbor International (BBS Photo Album Apartment) ... Their value rises one after another.

Undoubtedly, the potential of Dongzhimen just shows that the formation of transportation hub and transportation business district will bring huge accumulation and flow of people, logistics, capital flow and information (knowledge), and it will become a platform for China enterprises to go global.
