Inversión, producto y rentabilidad inmobiliaria de la edificación habitacional en altura antes y después del cambio normativo en Estación Central

Abstract

Estación Central, formalized its creation with two decrees with force of law: the first N ° 1-3260 of March 9, 1981 and the second N ° 2-18294 of December 14, 1984. The problems of the regulations in the sector in study lies in its normative origin. It incorporated 261 hectares of four communes. Each territory inherited the regulations of the territory of its commune of origin, the Maipú Communal Regulatory Plan of 1965, the Communal Regulatory Plan of Pudahuel, the Regulatory Plan of Santiago of 1939 and the Quinta Normal without regulations. The lack of updating of the territorial planning instruments of the Estación Central meant that in the last four years, buildings with a large number of stories high (the highest in the country) have been built. Surpassing even some 40 floors and averaging 30 stories high. This has considerably changed the urban image of Estación Central, and has modified the neighborhood scale ratio, composed up to the year 2013 by houses of one or two floors, predominantly the continuous and isolated building. Since 2013 building permits have been approved for high-rise buildings, which began to be built rapidly since 2014. During that year, 364,159 m2 were built in the departments category, and for the year 2016, Estación Central became the pioneer commune in the sale of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments in the Gran Santiago, it reached 14% of the sales of departments of the Región Metropolitana. That same year was also the largest amount of surface, m2 built category departments reaching 609,988 m2, surpassing for the first time the commune of Santiago. With all these conditions gentrification phenomena were generated, changes of neighborhood scale, changes in spatial morphology, reason for which on April 27, 2016 the approval of permits in height was stopped, to modify it.
