Chapter 714 (1/2)
Jonathan and tranny wanted to jointly develop the hellkitchen and make it as prosperous as the rest of midtown Manhattan Island.
Li Zitao is also very interested in this. The land price in Manhattan has been verified by time. No matter what the market is, the land price here has never fallen back.
In the future, the land price of Manhattan will even exceed the GDP of Canada.
”How?” Since everyone is interested, it's easy to talk about things.
Hell kitchen from 34 blocks to 59 blocks, a total of 25 blocks, west of Hudson River, Donglin Eighth Avenue, how to divide these places.
None of them considered whether any of them would be willing to sell and what price they should pay for the land.
These problems were solved after Li Zitao decided to join. As for where people living in hell's kitchen should go, the lower city's five points might be good.
It is also a slum area with many Irish immigrants. I believe that for the sake of being compatriots, they will get along very well.
”Hell's kitchen covers about one-sixth of Manhattan Island, with 585 acres, and 8 acres of public facilities and government land...”
Jonathan took out a mapping map from his bag. It seemed that he had been prepared for it, but he didn't expect that Li Zitao would agree to be so happy.
To turn this place into a real Midtown, you need to reinvent the whole hell kitchen and make it history and the past.
Otherwise, who would like to live next door? The streets are full of gangs, where there are fights, violence and dead people every day. Safety is the primary living environment.
A 585 acre residential area with no more than eight acres of public and government land shows just how bad the environment is.
”I want it here.”
Li Zitao's finger drew a ”shape” on the map. The edge of hell kitchen to the East leading to the center of the central city and the area to the south of the lower city area were all within his division.
Between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue, 34 to 38 blocks in the south, a total of five blocks, this is the area Li Zitao asked for.
If the ”hell kitchen” is compared to a piece of toast, Li Zitao will have to walk half the way outside, and the remaining north will lead to Shangcheng district and riverside area.
No matter how dangerous a place is, at least its surface (edge) is much safer, so is the hell kitchen.
Li Zitao noticed this point when he came in from the Eighth Avenue. At least, the architecture and environment outside were acceptable.
People who live there are forced to move here because of economic problems. If they have a chance, they will immediately flee the ghost place.
In this way, Li Zitao doesn't need to drive them out. Instead, he can raise the rent appropriately with the help of environmental changes.
After all, after all, their lives and property will be protected after the living environment is safe. Is it not too much to raise the rent a little bit?
As for the issue of investment and development, he needs to see the overall environment change before proceeding. Li does not want his investment to be wasted.
If we want to build a commercial complex like Rockefeller Center, let it attract the attention of enterprises and elites to the west central city.
”Charlie, can you tell me about your plan?” After a whispering conversation, Jonathan decided to listen to his plan.
