三年前,当祈福华厦率先推出国际公寓时,广州地产界并未作出太大的反响。对于大多数发展商来说,专为外籍人士提供一幢纯出租的豪华酒店公寓显然要冒巨大的风险。因为投资入士对于国际公寓的租务市场大多毫无把握;其次,当时地产市场普遍以卖楼花为主,快速回收现金,将利润落袋为安是地产商的第一目标。许多发展商既没有经验也欠缺实力去建造一批高标准的豪华公寓等待慢慢收租赚钱。于是,在拥有近万家外资企业、数万名外籍人士的广州,除四、五家四、五星级酒店提供高级海外公寓外,只有祈福华厦、金亚花园、天河怡苑、金湖花苑等寥寥几家高级公寓和别墅区默默而快乐地赚取着外籍高管人士的高额租金。时至今日,一些后知后觉的发展商终于如梦初醒:原来国际公寓还有好大一块市场! Three years ago, when praying for the first time in Hua Xia International Apartment, the real estate sector in Guangzhou did not make much response. For most developers, it is obviously a big risk to provide a luxury apartment for expatriates. Because investment in the international rental apartment for most of the rental market no confidence; secondly, when the real estate market generally to sell flats, rapid cash recovery, the profit down pocket security is the first goal of real estate developers. Many developers have neither the experience nor the strength to build a number of high standards of luxury apartments to wait for the slow rental income to make money. As a result, in Guangzhou, which has nearly 10,000 foreign-invested enterprises and tens of thousands of expatriates, except for four or five four- and five-star hotels providing high-level overseas apartments, only Chih-Fu Huaxia, Jinya Garden, Tianhe Yiyuan, Jinhu Garden and other few very few luxury apartments and villas silently and happily earn foreign executives high rents. Up to now, some developers who know what to say finally wake up: the original international apartment there is a big market!
