Any how sent photo to some family they all love it as much as me.
My son who works for a vintage building restoration company said: hey buy it I will come over and help you restore it! lovely idea but I don’t have the money and know will never get done.
Question:
how would you go about finding out if under a preservation order of some type? if not it should be.
Definitely a beauty. The problem in Taiwan is that land is super expensive and many owners just sit on old buildings until they can find a buyer who is willing to shell over a ton of money.
Then there are family disputes which keep many buildings empty. Everyone is fighting over their little bit of the pie and they’d rather see a building such as this disintegrate than find a buyer who’d fix it up. Furthermore, most Taiwanese would look at this and just say it’s ugly. They rather tear it down and put some big ugly thing in its place with a 7/11 on the ground floor.
Sadly perhaps in taiwan have japanes cultural influence and some costumes.
Taiwan its not a country who care too much about keep old buldings clean. They only keep temples good
Couldn’t build one that looks like that! whole deal is how it looks.
I wouldn’t buy land and build in Taiwan, I wouldn’t buy an apartment or any building in Taiwan.
As for those Hotel apartments, 72 ping becomes 58 ping for your bit of parking, pool, gym, bar, yoga room, all but parking would never be used.
Not only that look out the window to a block of 50+ years grey dirty apartments with a px mart underneath, no thank you.
Yeah well 20 other odd million people would fortunately so we have somewhere to live lol.
As for that building they may be forced to maintain the facade or at least it is probably listed somehow , the building itself could be a write off already. Which is often the plan anyway. Land is just worth too much here.
From my apartment I have a beautiful view of the mountains . Lots of good views possible here. Back home I’d have a view of a two up, two down. It’s not exactly a whole lot better.
Even if you could afford the land in Taipei, which is extremely inflated, as mentioned above real estate country wide is.such a mess you would want to knkw chinese and have a good lawyer that trusts your family to be able not to get screwed somehow. The backed taxes on that thing are probably as much as many of our homes back in our native countries.
I think we got that from your last post. The whole point of this is the character of the vintage building. We all understand the potential problems I’m sure.
