“I took the courier to my house without an elevator for the gum I brought with discount coupons for 3 liras.” Think of the jokes like this made by the people living in this building, what a lynching it would be.
After we will give details about HRI (Hangzhou Regent International) in a moment, we leave it to you to decide whether you want to live here or not.
In the beginning, it was planned to be a hotel.
Hangzhou Regent International; It was originally planned as a six-star hotel but has now become a shared apartment complex. It is home to a significant number of “Hang Piao” (the name given to those who live here), especially white collars and influencers.
Although in many places it is said that the residents of Regent International are close to 30,000 people, this number is actually a bit of an exaggeration. According to estimates, between 10,000 and 20,000 people live here. Even that number is quite high.
The hotel’s service functions and management style continue to function.
Combining the features of modern office buildings in the information age with the service functions and management styles of star hotels, the apartment complex also slightly changed the interior of the building.
Households were divided into smaller rooms, thus increasing the number of inhabitants. This hybrid approach aims to provide tenants with a high-quality living experience, but converting the building into a shared flat detracts from that goal a bit.
Here’s a view of someone living on the 30th floor:
HRI is strategically located in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou, a thriving urban area. The subway line is just a 4-minute walk away, and its high-rise design makes it a remarkable symbol of grandeur in the city. Of course, for some it may seem like a huge prison.
Also, many celebrities and online news anchors live in the complex. This makes the complex known as a place where influencers hang out. This apartment complex, which has a very luxurious design, is designed as duplex apartments and has apartments between 74 and 222 square meters. Moreover, floor heights vary between 5-6 meters.
Since even the ninety square meter houses are divided into at least 6 rooms, the number of people living here has increased considerably.
However, as the building turned into a shared apartment complex, many homeowners turned to dividing these larger homes into smaller rooms to increase their rental income. So the original design has changed a lot; Some 90-square-foot units are now divided into at least six smaller single rooms, while 140-square-foot units are mostly divided into eight rooms.
If we look at the prices, the average rent for a single room is around $397 per month. The most affordable rents average $159. Despite the new design of the building divided into units, the demand for rental rooms is quite high.
Would you rather live at Regent International?
This high demand; We can associate the building with its convenient location, well-designed common areas and relatively affordable rents. Despite its impressive design and convenient location, of course, it has several disadvantages such as lack of privacy and risk of fire.
Considering the negativities that come with a comfortable and magnificent life, would you like to live in such a place that looks like the buildings in the movie Judge Dredd?
