In The Past 10 Years, China'S International Garment City Has Changed Into A Ghost Town.

< p > yesterday morning, at the junction of Huayuan road and Chenghe road in Xiangcheng District center of Suzhou, a 20 storey tall building with a bluish, sail like shape and a ladder shaped side appeared. It was very conspicuous in the scorching sun, with an elliptical roof attached to one side.

This is the Cascades Building mentioned by netizens.

< /p >

< p > although the appearance is quite impressive, it is found that it is only "gold and jade outside", but the building gate is closed, and there are broken bricks and weeds everywhere.

< /p >

< p > the glass can be seen inside the first floor of a shed, a mess, hanging on the temporary hanger hung some clothes.

Several floors on the ground floor are hollowed out, and no concrete has been poured, and many exposed reinforcing bars can be seen.

< /p >

< p > waterfall building is divided into main building and auxiliary building. The main building is 110 meters high and the auxiliary building is 36 meters high.

According to the planning at that time, the building will be built into a super five star hotel.

< /p >

< p > building started construction in 2003 and ended in December 2004. It is known as the highest Guinness level man-made water system landscape in the world.

In October 1, 2006, the building also tested the water.

< /p >

< p > < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress < /a > city overall situation < /p >

< p > nearly one million square meters, four thousand shops only rent more than 100 "/p".

< p > leaving the waterfall building, the reporter came to China International Garment City.

Unexpectedly, the vacant and unfinished situation is far more serious than the waterfall building.

In addition to the twenty or thirty shops along the street, in the two regions of the huge Chinese and international districts, there are many shops and rows of shops with small advertisements.

Walking fifty or sixty meters, we can see one or two open stores, most of which are warehouses for storing express, furniture and so on.

In addition to many empty shops, in the clothing city, reporters also saw many commercial and residential apartments, downstairs shops, residential buildings above, also empty.

< /p >

< p > reporters walked around the clothing city and found that some large buildings such as the gold building in the city, like the waterfall building, had been vacant until now.

< /p >

What is the status quo of such a huge commercial project? P is responsible for the property management of China International Garment City. It is Suzhou Wei Bang Property Management Co., Ltd.

According to the publicity page of China International Garment City, which she presented to reporters, the total construction area of the project is nearly 1 million square meters, with 4000 shops, more than 950 houses with 100 square meters or more, and more than 300 small apartment apartments.

However, in the end of 2008, the developers could not continue to maintain the capital chain because of the failure of the capital chain.

< /p >

< p > JIANG Chien said, "now there are 100 shops that are leased out, which are used for real estate agents, express warehouses and small shops."

< /p >

< p > why does the huge clothing city become "ghost town" < /p >

< p > the developer's capital chain is broken, and the owner has not got two cards < /p >.

Why did P fall into such a field? Reporters found a leader of the Xiangcheng District government who was involved in handling disputes over China's international clothing city shops.

< /p >

< p > according to him, the clothing city is built by Suzhou Xiangcheng District International Garment City Development Co., Ltd., the company boss is a Wenzhou boss who surnamed Wu.

In 2003, the garment city was built and its investment funds were basically raised by joint ventures and private lending.

But with the development of the project, Wu's capital chain is getting tighter and tighter. Many companies take part in the risk and withdraw.

By the time of the date of delivery in 2008, the whole project has not been completed yet, and the two card can not be processed.

< /p >

< p > then, more than 2000 owners came to see Wu for argument, demanding payment of liquidated damages, and the government of Xiangcheng District subsequently intervened.

"Finally, the government put up a portion of the money to build the project reluctantly and gave the owners two certificates."

The official, who did not want to be named, said that in order to repay the government's investment, some of the shops and buildings in the clothing city were pferred to the Xiangcheng District government.

< /p >

After P, the whole project was vacant.

For example, the waterfall building, developers have not yet agreed with the construction side in the project, so the delay has not been completed.

< /p >

< p > noon yesterday, the reporter contacted the responsible person of Suzhou Xiangcheng District International Garment City Development Co., Ltd.

He said that since the completion of the garment city in 2008, it has not been formed for various reasons, mainly because the volume of the project is too large and the company can not afford to run so much money.

"There are many enterprises that are interested in developing, but there is no overall market. We can only invest in shops one by one."

The official said frankly, at present, the 4000 shops are actually rented out only 100.

< /p >

"P", director of the Xiangcheng District petition Bureau, told reporters that the vacancy of China International Garment City has a great impact on the construction of Xiangcheng District city.

Since last year, the Xiangcheng District Committee and the district government have proposed the idea of activating the commercial space resources of the clothing city and enriching the business format.

In the second half of 2012, Xiangcheng District set up a working group to promote the revitalization and revitalization of the garment city.

At present, the working group has put forward a preliminary plan, which is being demonstrated.

At present, the government of Xiangcheng District has bought some supporting facilities such as the falls building, the gold building and the exhibition hall in the China International Clothing City, and is negotiating with the merchants about the pformation and utilization plan, so as to try to revitalize the operation at an early date.
