<p>亨德森的城市景观（左），高达 48 层。目前有 119 栋 HDB 楼宇，分布在 35 个项目中，至少有 40 层高。</p>
<p>新加坡——对于叶燕琴女士来说，她在 Pinnacle@Duxton 的 46 层四房公寓 120 万新元的价格非常值得。</p>
<p>这位 42 岁的高管可以在家中舒适地欣赏中央商务区的烟花，特别是在国庆日等特殊场合。</p>
<p>“对我来说，主要因素真的就是视野，以及高层单元可能在未来有更强的转售吸引力，” 叶女士补充道，她在 2021 年购买了该单元。</p>
<p>她的 Pinnacle@Duxton 家园于 2009 年完工，目前是新加坡最高的 HDB 开发项目，高达 50 层。</p>
<p>但这一纪录将被位于珍珠山脚下的一个 HDB 项目超越，该项目预计将超过 60 层。</p>

<p>位于牛车水珍珠山脚下的一个 BTO 项目将成为新加坡最高的公共住房开发，超过 60 层。</p>
<p>这个 1700 个单元的建造订单（BTO）项目位于 Outram Park 地铁站旁，预计将在未来几年内推出，国家发展部长郑鸿达于 3 月 4 日宣布了这一消息。</p>
<p>新加坡的天际线可能会看到更多这样的超高公共住房开发，因为 HDB 正在寻找更多机会来加大土地使用强度，建设更高的公寓以满足住房需求。</p>
<p>由于新加坡土地稀缺，公共住房的健康需求推动了过去 15 年中 40 层及以上 HDB 建筑数量的增加。</p>
<p>目前有 119 栋 HDB 楼宇，分布在 35 个项目中，至少有 40 层高，较 2011 年的 46 栋楼宇和 7 个项目有所增加。</p>
<p>目前正在建设的有 31 个这样的 BTO 项目，物业代理 PropNex Realty 的研究与内容负责人黄秀英女士表示。</p>
<p>这些项目包括 50 层的亚历山大谷和 49 层的红山峰，均属于优质公寓分类，并在转售时附带补贴回收条款。</p>
<p>大多数现有的高层公寓位于中央地区、女皇镇和红山。</p>
<h2>交易激增</h2>
<p>房地产公司 Realion（OrangeTee &amp; ETC）集团的首席研究员和策略师 Christine Sun 女士指出，2015 年，当首批 Pinnacle@Duxton 公寓进入转售市场时，交易量激增。</p>
<p>“在 2015 年之前，位于 40 层及以上的公寓交易量仅为个位数，” 她说。2015 年有 26 笔此类交易，较 2014 年的 7 笔有所增加。</p>
<p>黄女士指出，2020 年和 2021 年，当 43 层的 SkyTerrace@Dawson 和 47 层的 SkyVille@Dawson 开始转售时，出现了第二次高峰。</p>
<p><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/B4uJw0_B668WVmLmrZfWJw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjg-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/straits_times_442/656ae588844497f13458b8179b378b6a?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="" width="1242" height="828" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/B4uJw0_B668WVmLmrZfWJw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjg-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/straits_times_442/656ae588844497f13458b8179b378b6a"/></p>
<p>47 层的 SkyVille@Dawson（左）和 43 层的 SkyTerrace@Dawson。</p>
<p>2020 年有 44 笔 40 层以上公寓的交易，2021 年则有 75 笔。</p>
<p>黄女士指出，在 35 个至少 40 层高的 HDB 项目中，超过一半是作为受选择性整体重建计划（SERS）影响的业主的替代公寓提供的。</p>
<p>她补充说，许多位于城市边缘的 SERS 公寓本应位于更大的土地上，而它们的替代品——通常位于较小的土地上，因为土地有限——则更高，以容纳所有家庭。</p>
<p>其中一个项目是亨德森的城市景观，其居民包括来自 2011 年被选为 SERS 的红山近 21 栋楼宇的居民。</p>
<p>一位希望只被称为傅先生的居民表示，他喜欢在 48 层——顶层——的风景，他和岳父母住在这里。</p>
<p>但有时，强风会把空容器吹落桌子，水压也会明显减弱，这位在金融服务行业工作的 40 岁男子补充道。高层的供水通常是通过水储存箱间接供给，这可能导致水压差异。</p>
<p><img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/Mx7P9hZ.nkoxU11Sk4uDRg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjg-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/straits_times_442/a20de20c4b276fe7fe640d980206eade?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="" width="1242" height="828" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/Mx7P9hZ.nkoxU11Sk4uDRg--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD04Mjg-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/straits_times_442/a20de20c4b276fe7fe640d980206eade"/></p>
<p>亨德森的城市景观的居民包括来自 2011 年被选为 SERS 的红山近 21 栋楼宇的居民。</p>
<p>许多人对住在如此高的地方感到不满，主要是等待电梯。</p>
<p>叶女士表示，她通常需要等五分钟才能等到电梯，但当服务她楼层的三部电梯中有一部故障时，这个时间可能会增加到 10 分钟。</p>
<p>她补充说，电梯维护每三到四个月进行一次，可能需要几天时间。</p>
<p>一些高层开发的居民在服务和管理费用上也支付了更多。</p>
<p>例如，根据丹戎巴葛市镇委员会的网站，Pinnacle@Duxton 四房公寓的业主每月需支付 132.10 新元的正常费用，而大多数其他四房公寓的费用为 81.70 新元。该网站未说明这一差异的原因。</p>
<h2>高层生活的吸引力</h2>
<p>新加坡人越来越接受住在高层的生活。在 HDB 的样本家庭调查中，表示愿意住在 12 层或更高的比例从 1973 年的 13.9% 上升到 2003 年的 57.9%。</p>
<p>而在 2013 年，31.9% 的人表示他们愿意住在 40 到 50 层及以上的楼宇中。</p>
<p>社会学家蔡明发回忆道，几十年前在考虑建造 50 层高的楼房时，相关部门担心人们的接受程度。</p>
<p>蔡教授，国立大学社会学与人类学系的名誉教授表示：“但对一些组屋居民的访谈显示，他们不仅不反对住在高层，反而欢迎这种选择，因为高层空气更清新、更干净——只要电梯正常运作。”</p>
<p>他提到即将到来的珍珠山项目时补充道：“与香港不同，香港同一地产的所有同高度建筑形成一堵坚固的墙，而提议中的高楼则是低层建筑中的地标性图标，不应对景观产生压倒性的影响。”</p>
<p>新加坡房地产代理 ERA 的首席执行官林宇杰表示，住在高层对一些业主来说可能是一种荣誉。</p>
<p>他指出：“虽然高层生活在新加坡很常见，但并不是所有居民都有机会住在非常高的楼层。”</p>
<p>当被问及社会不平等的担忧时，社会学家陈恩社指出，例如珍珠山项目将有 140 套公共租赁公寓。</p>
<p>这可能会促进租户与拥有自己公寓的居民之间的社会交融与互动，政策研究所的兼职首席研究员补充道。他还表示，自下而上的努力将对社区建设至关重要。</p>
<p>孙女士还表示，一些买家可能希望这些公寓的全景视野在长期内能够带来价格溢价，或者即使在租约贬值的情况下也能保持投资价值。</p>
<p>但对于 Pinnacle@Duxton 的居民 Sheryn Sethoe 来说，这并不是一个问题，她在二十年前以不到 40 万美元的价格购买了她的四居室公寓。</p>
<p>这位 49 岁的会议与活动工作者享有海景和圣淘沙的美景，并表示她最喜欢的地方是其中心位置。</p>
<p>“我对我的地方非常满意，没有搬家的计划，” 她说。</p>

<p>在新加坡，建造超过 40 层的组屋（HDB）趋势正在上升，目前有 119 栋这样的组屋，分布在 35 个项目中。最高的组屋是 Pinnacle@Duxton，拥有 50 层，但位于 Pearl’s Hill 的新项目将超过 60 层。这一增长是由于在土地稀缺的环境中对公共住房的高需求。值得注意的是，自 2015 年以来，高层公寓的交易量激增，许多新开发项目取代了受到选择性整体重建计划影响的旧项目。居民享受美景，但面临着如电梯等待时间更长和服务费更高等挑战</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>新加坡的天际线可能会看到更多这样的超高公共住房开发，因为 HDB 正在寻找更多机会来加大土地使用强度，建设更高的公寓以满足住房需求。</p>

</div><h2>Spike in transactions</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>交易激增</h2>
</div><p>Ms Christine Sun, chief researcher and strategist at property firm Realion (OrangeTee &amp; ETC) Group, noted that there was a spike in transactions for such flats in 2015, when the first Pinnacle@Duxton flats hit the resale market.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>房地产公司 Realion（OrangeTee &amp; ETC）集团的首席研究员和策略师 Christine Sun 女士指出，2015 年，当首批 Pinnacle@Duxton 公寓进入转售市场时，交易量激增。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>2020 年有 44 笔 40 层以上公寓的交易，2021 年则有 75 笔。</p>
</div><p>Ms Wong noted that of the 35 HDB projects at least 40 storeys high, more than half were offered as replacement flats for owners affected by the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS).</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>黄女士指出，在 35 个至少 40 层高的 HDB 项目中，超过一半是作为受选择性整体重建计划（SERS）影响的业主的替代公寓提供的。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>她补充说，许多位于城市边缘的 SERS 公寓本应位于更大的土地上，而它们的替代品——通常位于较小的土地上，因为土地有限——则更高，以容纳所有家庭。</p>

</div><p>But at times, strong winds can send empty containers flying off the table, and the water pressure can be noticeably weaker, added the 40-year-old, who works in financial services. Water supply to higher floors is typically indirect via water storage tanks, which could account for differences in water pressure.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>但有时，强风会把空容器吹落桌子，水压也会明显减弱，这位在金融服务行业工作的 40 岁男子补充道。高层的供水通常是通过水储存箱间接供给，这可能导致水压差异。</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>她补充说，电梯维护每三到四个月进行一次，可能需要几天时间。</p>
</div><p>Some residents in taller developments have also been paying more in service and conservancy charges.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>一些高层开发的居民在服务和管理费用上也支付了更多。</p>

</div><h2>Appeal of high-rise living</h2>
<div class="lb-trans"><h2>高层生活的吸引力</h2>
</div><p>Singaporeans have increasingly embraced living on higher floors. In HDB’s Sample Household Surveys, the proportion of those who said they would live on the 12th storey or higher rose from 13.9 per cent in 1973 to 57.9 per cent in 2003.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>新加坡房地产代理 ERA 的首席执行官林宇杰表示，住在高层对一些业主来说可能是一种荣誉。</p>
</div><p>“While high-rise living is common in Singapore, not all residents have the opportunity to live on very high floors,” he noted.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他指出：“虽然高层生活在新加坡很常见，但并不是所有居民都有机会住在非常高的楼层。”</p>
</div><p>Asked about concerns over social inequality, sociologist Tan Ern Ser noted that the Pearl’s Hill project, for example, will have 140 public rental flats.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>当被问及社会不平等的担忧时，社会学家陈恩社指出，例如珍珠山项目将有 140 套公共租赁公寓。</p>
</div><p>This could encourage social mixing and interaction between the rental residents and those who own their flats, said the adjunct principal research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies. He added that ground-up efforts will be important to help build the community.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这可能会促进租户与拥有自己公寓的居民之间的社会交融与互动，政策研究所的兼职首席研究员补充道。他还表示，自下而上的努力将对社区建设至关重要。</p>
</div><p>Ms Sun also said some buyers may be hoping that the panoramic views from such flats could command a price premium in the long run, or help retain investment value even as leases depreciate.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>孙女士还表示，一些买家可能希望这些公寓的全景视野在长期内能够带来价格溢价，或者即使在租约贬值的情况下也能保持投资价值。</p>
</div><p>But this is not a concern for Pinnacle@Duxton resident Sheryn Sethoe, who bought her four-room flat for less than $400,000 two decades ago.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>但对于 Pinnacle@Duxton 的居民 Sheryn Sethoe 来说，这并不是一个问题，她在二十年前以不到 40 万美元的价格购买了她的四居室公寓。</p>
</div><p>The 49-year-old, who works in meetings and events, enjoys a view of both the sea and Sentosa, and said the best part of her place is its central location.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>这位 49 岁的会议与活动工作者享有海景和圣淘沙的美景，并表示她最喜欢的地方是其中心位置。</p>
</div><p>“I am very happy with my place and have no plans to move,” she said.</p>
