CHINA INVADES LA RAZA-OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES - But will the Mexican flag wavers surrender easily?


They built towering new cities in China. Now they're 


Los Angeles real estate has long attracted foreign investment, be it from Japan, Canada and South Korea. But no one is building from the ground up the way the Chinese are today.
Chinese developers such as Greenland, Oceanwide and Shenzhen Hazens are pouring billions into the neighborhood, adding thousands of new residential units in soaring skyscrapers that will fundamentally change the city’s skyline. Since 2014, Chinese developers have been involved in at least seven of 18 land deals downtown in excess of $19 million, according to real estate firm Transwestern. 
“When all these megaprojects are finished, they’re going to have to reshoot the postcard picture of downtown L.A.,” said Mark Tarczynski, executive vice president for Colliers International’s L.A. office.
By investing in Los Angeles, the builders are staking downtown’s revival closer to the Chinese economy. A sizable share of home buyers for the new downtown developments are expected to come from China, where many in the middle and upper class are looking to the perceived safety of foreign real estate to diversify their wealth. That trend has been exacerbated by the uncertainty of China’s slowing economy.
The building boom is something of a showcase for Chinese real estate companies, which are willing to pay a premium to establish themselves as global brands. The foray overseas has also demonstrated the many differences between building in both countries — an experience both sides will need to learn from if the U.S. is to remain a prime destination for Chinese capital.
“The speed is so dramatically different in China,” said Sonnet Hui, executive project director for Shenzhen Hazens, which is building a $700-million mixed-use project across from Staples Center. “There’s a lot of planning and study here,  whereas in China it’s just ‘Let’s go, let’s go.’ ”
Before the Chinese landed, things were going nowhere at a 6-acre site on the corner of W. 8th Street and the Harbor Freeway. Plans to develop the parcel, which had been a parking lot, were scuttled by one economic downturn after another.
Then in 2014, Shanghai’s Greenland paid $150 million for the plot and announced plans to build a “city within a city” with about 70,000 square feet of retail space, an 18-story boutique hotel and 1,500 residential units in three condo towers, some with ocean views. They priced properties at $500,000 for the lowest end  to $6.9 million for the premier penthouses. 


When completed in 2018, the $1-billion project will require a total of 300,000 tons of concrete and 650,000 square feet of glass, much of it in Greenland’s namesake color.
“They need a certain amount of scale to make it worth their while,” said Laurie Lustig-Bower, executive vice president at CBRE and broker for the Metropolis land deal. “Of course, what we consider large is not relatively large to them coming from China.”
When the chairman of Greenland came to visit Metropolis, it was the first time he didn’t require a car to traverse one of his building sites, an executive told Tony Natsis, a partner at Allen Matkins and chairman of the law firm's real estate practice.
“Their ability to build on this scale is completely child’s play to them,” Natsis said.
Around the same time Greenland bought its site, Oceanwide Holdings, another Chinese real estate giant,  paid $174.8 million for a 4.6-acre site across from Staples Center. The Beijing-based builder is in the early stages of another $1-billion mixed-use project, this one with nearly 170,000 square feet of retail space, a luxury hotel and two sleek condo towers that together will offer more than 500 residences.
In a design flourish popular in China, a massive LED screen will wrap the west facing side of Oceanwide Plaza overlooking Figueroa Street. The project is set to open by the end of 2018.


Across the street are plans for an almost equally extravagant mixed-use development on the current Luxe City Center Hotel site. Shenzhen Hazens is proposing razing the hotel for a pair of gleaming condo towers and a W Hotel steps away from the arena.
“Our chairman [Yan Fuer] is a big basketball fan and went to a game at Staples Center and saw the property and said ‘I want that property,’ ” said Hui, the project’s director.
Shenzhen Hazens paid $104 million for the 2.5-acre site. The $925.11 paid per square foot is the highest of any major land purchase in the area since 2014, according to Transwestern.
The next three highest prices per square foot in the last two years also belong to Chinese buyers. The Greenland, Oceanwide and Shenzhen Hazens developments represent three of the four most expensive land deals downtown,  and they highlight the Chinese appetite for splashy and ambitious projects.
 “The Chinese can come in with a lot of money and execute deals quickly,” said Michael Soto, an analyst for Transwestern. 
Other smaller Chinese projects in the works include Shanghai Construction Group’s proposed 35-story condo tower on 4th Street and Broadway, Fulton Street Ventures’ 28-story condo building at 1133 S. Hope Street and City Century’s 37- and 22-story condo towers at 1201 S. Grand Avenue.
Meanwhile, Lifan Group, a motorcycle manufacturer from the Western Chinese metropolis of Chongqing, paid more than $19 million for a former union hall at the intersection of West 7th and Witmer streets. Naturally, it’s for another apartment high-rise.
Chinese developers can afford to outbid the competition in markets like L.A. because they are willing to wait longer than most to reap returns and can rely on both local and Chinese-based home buyers to scoop up their condos. It’s also advantageous to move capital overseas to hedge against inflation and a weakening Chinese renminbi. 
“They look at risk a lot differently because of these factors that relate to what’s going on in China and what’s going on with their currency,” said Tarczynski of Colliers International.
After a boom period that saw property values skyrocket, China’s real estate market has quieted down. Deep-pocketed investors, having exhausted Beijing and Shanghai, looked to foreign markets like Vancouver, Canada; Sydney, Australia; and the San Gabriel Valley to park their cash (some in the belief that China’s economic miracle was due for a reckoning).
Chinese developers followed in kind by building overseas, figuring their brand appeal would extend beyond its borders. Greenland, for example, has developments in Australia, Canada, Malaysia, South Korea, Germany and Spain in addition to U.S. projects in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
That dependence on Chinese buyers could just as easily become a source of risk. Some downtown L.A. residents have expressed concern that Chinese investors will leave their properties empty — a phenomenon common in China and antithetical to the dense urban neighborhood many local boosters have long championed.
Some Chinese developers in L.A. are expecting Chinese buyers to constitute up to 40% of their clients.  As a result, they could be beholden to the whims of Chinese regulators who are currently making it harder to get cash out of China — a move prompted by a steep decline in the country’s foreign exchange reserves. That has led to the first drop in Chinese home-buying activity in the U.S. this year since 2011, according to the National Assn. of Realtors.
Chinese firms in L.A. may have to rely on domestic buyers more than they had planned. If so, they’ll have to hope that the surge in construction downtown won’t result in a glut of condos and apartments.
There are 6,260 apartments under construction downtown by all developers, not just Chinese, according to Transwestern. When completed, that will boost the number of existing homes in the neighborhood by 15% to more than 40,000. Thousands more units are planned.
That risk has already steered some major Chinese developers such as Gemdale to forgo downtown and build in Hollywood instead. 
“What we have experienced in China is that when there is too much supply coming to the same place, then there will be a stop in investment,” said Jason Zhu, chief executive of Gemdale’s U.S. subsidiary.
Zhu said Gemdale had the luxury of studying the U.S. real estate market for years before making a move. 
But for most builders, it has been a steep learning curve. That’s especially true when it comes to the city’s permitting process for building — something that L.A. officials recently streamlined but is considered too time-consuming by the Chinese.
“Chinese developers are not into buying land, letting it sit there for years and waiting for better times,” said Thomas Feng, Oceanwide Plaza’s chief executive and president. “We buy it at the right time and we build right away.”
Part of that disconnect is over safety and planning, which is more stringent in the U.S. But it also underscores the different role real estate plays in the world’s second-largest economy. In China, there’s no real property tax, so local governments rely on land sales for more than a quarter of their revenue. That gives them every incentive to expedite real estate development. (It’s one of the reasons why a 57-story skyscraper can be built in 19 days in China). 
That’s not how things are moving in L.A. for Shenzhen Hazens, which still hasn’t broken ground two years after purchasing its land across from Staples Center. The company is still grappling with getting its project entitled.
Raymond Chan, a Los Angeles deputy mayor for economic development who headed the city’s Department of Building and Safety when many of the downtown Chinese projects were first announced, said the city “threw the book” at Shenzhen Hazens at first. Since then, regulators have been more accommodating, seeking ways for the builder to meet all the city’s requirements. The company hopes to have the entitlement completed by early next year.
“It’s been an education,” said Hui of Shenzhen Hazens. “That’s why we have so many attorneys and consultants. Every decision we make is so that we follow U.S. law to a T. … I think the city recognizes that.”

THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY DEMOCRAT PARTY HELL BENT ON OPEN BORDERS AND EXPANDING THE MEX WELFARE STATE ON OUR BACKS!

HISPANIC FAMILY VALUES: Mexican flag wavers loot the stupid gringo for billions!

Mexico’s massive looting in our open borders:


HILLARY CLINTON: Closet Republican and Openly a LA RAZA SUPREMACIST agent for Mexico!

"The same period has seen a massive growth of social inequality, with income and wealth concentrated at the very top of American society to an extent not seen since the 1920s."


"He (Trump) is able to get a hearing because millions of people are being driven into economic insecurity and poverty while the rich and the super-rich continue to amass obscene levels of wealth. He is able with some success to divert mass discontent along reactionary nationalist and racialist channels precisely because what passes for the “left” in American politics, anchor  by the Democratic Party, has moved ever further to the right, culminating in the Obama administration which has presided over endless war and an unprecedented redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top of the economic ladder."
  
GLOBALIST

HILLARY’S PROMISE TO ILLEGALS: Amnesty, legalization of Mexico’s looting, millions more American jobs and billions more in welfare…. Just to keep wages DEPRESSED.

A Hillary victory means there won’t be a departure; merely a doubling-down by the elite, as they act with renewed zest to secure their interests -- versus the national welfare. The Great Imposition -- a war waged on average Americans -- will continue with awful consequences. J. ROBERT SMITH   - THE AMERICAN THINKER.COM


“Forget the arrogance and corruption -- $153 million in Clinton family speaking fees from 2001, mainly bribes during her State Department years. Forget the lies, the lies about lies, and the perjury. Forget the security breaches. Forget enabling America’s most prominent sexual predator. Forget the trail of bodies stretching from Little Rock to Benghazi. Forget every scandal from Whitewater to deleted e-mails. Forget all of it.”


UPDATES ON HILLARY’S HEALTH CRISIS:


SUCKING IN THE BRIBES

 THE TAWDRY LIVES OF HILLARY  &  BILLARY: AMERICAN  PREDATORS!
The Clintons have been a criminal enterprise since they came to power in Arkansas.  The list of scandals they have generated is long and tawdry.  Their principal goal then and now has always been to enrich themselves.  They never once had a moral compunction about lying, cheating, selling, and stealing their way to wealth. They are the Perons of America.  They eventually set up a "foundation" and the money kept rolling in. 


Only ten percent of the billions of dollars the "Foundation" takes in goes to 
charity.  The rest subsidizes the lavish lifestyles of the Clintons and their sycophants; those people who have sold their souls to rub shoulders with unadulterated power.

…………….. WILL MEXICO ELECT ALL FUTURE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS?
AMERICAN WOMEN SAY HELL NO TO WALL STREET-BOUGHT AND PAID FOR HILLARY CLINTON.


THE PHONY CLINTON FOUNDATION… FUNDED BY OBAMA’S CRONY BANKSTERS, MUSLIM DICTATORS, CRIMINAL BILLIONAIRES….



THE SAVE CHELSEA CLINTON MOVEMENT


Chelsea lives in a $11 million dollar New York City condo her parents bought with their bribes for speeches money.

The Clinton phony charity foundation has paid out less than $9 million out of the hundreds of millions they have sucked in from Obama’s crony banksters, Muslim dictators whom Hillary served as Secretary of State and criminal billionaires Billary has long known on a first name basis.

Let’s work together to save this nation from these three low-life scumbag parasites!


DANCING WITH DICTATORS.... BOTH THE CLINTONS ARE EXPERT DANCERS!

Hillary’s Russian connection





“Facilitating strategic technology transfer in return for money is an old Clinton game.  The Chinese bought their way to access of considerable space technology when Bill Clinton was president.  Remember Charlie Trie, Loral, and the rest of the crew?”


OBAMA’S GIFT TO HILLARIA:

OPEN BORDERS AND A MILLION MEXICAN CRIMINAL LINNING UP TO VOTE FOR MORE LA RAZA SUPREMACY!


Most Americans (legals) would be appalled to know that from day one the Obomb has funded the MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA “The Race” with U.S. tax dollars and this racist party has operated out of the white house under LA RAZA V.P. Cecilia Munoz.

OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS: You were wondering how many jobs went to illegals and how well Obama’s crony banksters have done???

The sputtering economic recovering under President Obama, the last to follow a major recession, has fallen way short of the average recovery and ranks as the worst since the 1930s Great Depression, according to a new report.

Had the recovery under Obama been the average of the 11 since the Depression, according to the report, family incomes would be $17,000 higher, six million fewer Americans would be in poverty, and there would be six million more jobs.

THE OBAMA-CLINTON ECONOMIC MELTDOWN -----  HOME OWNERSHIP – ECONOMIC MELTDOWN

"The decline in homeownership is one sign of the deep social crisis in the United States. As rents and housing costs have soared, spurred on by financial speculation that has enriched the ruling elites, incomes and jobs for most Americans have shriveled."


OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS TO SERVE THE SUPER RICH: The slow and painful death of America

"These figures present a scathing indictment of the social order that prevails in America, the world’s wealthiest country, whose government proclaims itself to be the globe’s leading democracy. They are just one manifestation of the human toll taken by the vast and all-pervasive inequality and mass poverty that dominates American society."

“This study follows reports released over the past several months documenting rising mortality rates among US workers due to drug addiction and suicide, high rates of infant mortality, an overall leveling off of life expectancy, and a growing gap between the life expectancy of the bottom rung of income earners compared to those at the top.”

THE MEXICAN DRUGS CARTELS HAVE GREATLY BENEFITED FROM BARACK OBAMA’S SABOTAGE OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

THE CLINTON “JOBS” PLAN ENDORSED BY NARCOMEX – IT’S CALLED AMNESTY!

Clinton, in the guise of a “jobs” and “infrastructure” program, promoted yet another scheme to hand out tax cuts and other incentives for companies to hire workers at poverty-level wages, with the trade unions brought in to keep the workers in line in return for a cut in the spoils.
