Chapter 034 The Best Chance
After returning to the apartment, Barron met Yulia.
“How was it going to Kenton Borough Council?”
"In your name, I met with Mr. Mayor. After stating that we had received the news that the King's Cross area would undergo an overall transformation, he did not directly deny it, but said that the plan was not finally passed, and in Prior to this, a consultation meeting involving representatives of all relevant personnel will also be held..."
King's Cross is located in the center of Camden, one of the 33 boroughs of Greater London.
Here, the chief of the administrative district is also called the "mayor", which is somewhat similar to the district chief in China.
Camden has always been a relatively underdeveloped area in London. Among the top 100 "poor residential areas" in London rated at the end of the last century, King's Cross accounted for 24 of them!
Data from 2001 show that compared to the London-wide average unemployment rate of 4%, the unemployment rate in Camden was as high as 7%.
In terms of physical environment, King's Cross is an industrial "brownfield", leaving a large number of industrial relics in urgent need of renovation and a serious lack of public space.
Moreover, the circulation lines in front of the two railway stations are chaotic, which affects their efficiency as a transportation hub.
Therefore, from the perspective of the development of the entire region, King's Cross is the center of the Camden district. Under the background that London is increasingly becoming an important global financial center and the gap in housing and office buildings is growing, it is necessary to develop Camden. District, large-scale comprehensive management of King's Cross is a necessary prerequisite.
After searching for a lot of information and confirming this, Yulia agreed with Barron's judgment for the first time, and actively began to assist him in the layout of the "Siamese triplets" gas tank land.
"What is your conclusion? Ms. Moore."
"My initial feeling is that Kenton is definitely formulating a plan for the King's Cross area, but it has not yet been finalized - even if it is determined, there are still many procedures that need to be carried out before the final plan is finalized. . But what is going on in the world, in addition to needing more information, we also need some clearer signals, but I am afraid that by that time, this news will no longer be considered a secret among quite a few circles."
Indeed, if Barron's purpose this time is just to develop his own piece of land, then there is no need to take any more action and he just needs to wait for the final news to be announced.
But Barron's ambitions don't stop there. You must know that London is the core location of Britain, but as the earliest country to industrialize, so far, it is not that easy to acquire land in London.
Land like those owned by the Duke of Westminster's family in London is enough to make anyone's mouth water.
But at this time, if you want to enter the most prosperous area of London for real estate development, it is already too crowded to accommodate - and the Kenton area, or more precisely the King's Cross area in its center, has been relatively backward in development before. " "Slum areas" are clustered together, so big real estate developers are not active in developing them here.
There was once a saying among Londoners: everyone would only pass by King's Cross, but not go to King's Cross.
This shows how bad the environment here was at that time.
But Barron knew that when he came here in his previous life, King's Cross had undergone earth-shaking changes, especially around the CBD, which had become London's emerging commercial center. He was the only one who still had the impression. There are British headquarters of well-known companies such as Google, Facebook, Louis Vuitton and Nike.
Therefore, for Barron at this time, if he wants to participate in the real estate industry in London, a global financial center where housing prices will continue to rise in the next decade or so, he must get as much real estate as possible in King's Cross. His best opportunity in recent years was to find land that was much cheaper than other prosperous areas, and to participate in the renovation plan of the entire King's Cross area.
