Education Real Estate –12 years guaranteed

konjaku: Jin Mao Palace (previous post) illustrates one approach to “education real estate:” to build an elementary school within the new residential project and contract out the operation of the school to an already established, highly prestigious primary school. Jin Mao Palace is located in the new Central Business District (CBD) in the Chaoyang district of Beijing. The Shou’er Tiancheng development, described below, is in Yanjiao, described in Wikipedia as “ a town under the administration of Sanhe City in central Hebei province, bordering Tongzhou District, Beijing across the Chaobai River to the west, located 35 kilometres (22 mi) east of Tiananmen Square and 21 km (13 mi) west of Sanhe. Chaoyang is between the 2nd and 3rd ring roads in Beijing city proper, Yanjiao is out beyond the 6th, a town beyond the city borders to which many people are moving for better real estate prices and lower cost of living. With plenty more relatively inexpensive land to develop, Shou-er Tiancheng has gone the next step in ”education real estate,” assuring purchasers of residential properties in their development that they will supply 12 years of elite schooling: a kindergarden, primary, and middle school built together on one large campus on site. Although their school, the Yanda Experimental School, is a public school, they are confident that it satisfies the “nearby school” stipulation, and they can guarantee places for the children of their residents.

Dawangjing was the name of the village demolished to make way for construction of the CBD. I covered the process of demolition and relocation of the villagers in posts archived in September and October 2012.

The recent Beijing city education reform for those entering primary school has gathered a lot of attention, especially the “every child is excused from taking an exam and can enter a nearby school,” and “children from families without Beijing household registry must present 5 forms of proof.” Besides the fevered debates among the general population, one section of society which already has developed a close connection with education –namely, real estate –has intensely focussed on these new developments.

In recent years, there have been a number of real estate projects which function as examples of the development of large-scale “education real estate.” Wangjing Jin Mao Palace, Zhongtan Zichenyuan, Jingmao Guojicheng, and Shou’er Tiancheng. These satisfy a business demand, and promote a product which is receiving a lot of interest and attention.

A business insider believes that these education real estate products will not necessarily always be highly profitable, but when the market is depressed a certain amount will still sell, and when the market is booming, they will go for high prices. For 25-38 year old middle class consumers, demand for education real estate is high, and when educational resources are brought together in one complete package, this product is highly attractive.

Among the ecology-based large scale real estate developments in Yanjiao, Shou’er Tiancheng has done well, even in the current bear market situation, because of the quality of its real estate and educational offerings. More than10,000 contracts have been signed, and there is an unceasing stream of interested inquiries.

This reporter discovered that purchasers were particularly impressed that Shou’er Tiancheng offers a complete education plan of 12 years, up the education ladder from kindergarden through junior middle school. They are building a 53,000 square meter campus including an international bilingual kindergarden, an elementary school and middle school, which will be completed for use by the 9th month (September).

As the Beijing Youth News reported in 06-13, the currently existing Yanjiao Primary School is over-enrolled, and faces a critical shortage of teachers. Against this background, it is easy to see why Shou’er Tiancheng, offering a guarantee of top quality education, will continue to sell well. Indeed, in the whole of the Yanjiao area, it can be said to be the top choice.
