SHANGHAI--(Business Wire)--Residential property now is quite restrained by government policy; instead, commercial property is keeping strong momentum, has become the safe havens for developers and investors. Commercial real estate bubbles have existed in Tier 1 Cities, as available land resources and urban space are in increasingly saturated situation. On the contrary, the volume of commercial land in tier 2 and 3 cities is relatively low. So there is plenty space for development and reconstruction in lower-tier cities, where investment value is gradually becoming prominent. With rapid growth of urbanization and implementation of the policy for simulating domestic demand, tier 2 and 3 cities must be one of the main economic growth points in China soon; It is evident that under strict regulation control of property these years, move into tier 2 and tier 2 cities have been a common strategy for developers to keep profit margin and reduce risk.
