Prime Real Estate – Property # JSNJ011PRC
Who doesn’t like to stare off into the beautiful coal filled abyss of nothingness? And, more pertinently, who can afford such a luxury in China? You? Perfect. This is your dream home.

Prime Real Estate – Property # JSNJ010PRC
Oh, China. The name alone evokes images of sprinklers arcing over trim, green lawns; neat lines of white picket fences; rocking chairs on the porch with pitchers full of lemonade; apple pie cooling on window sills; wide, winding avenues depositing family vehicles into their personal driveways and into their spacious, separate homes… no? Wrong country? [...]

When Henry D. Thoreau went off on his famous experiment in living simply and deliberately, he need not to have constructed his own cabin in the woods – he could have come over to China, to this little metal-roofed monument to truth. While there may be no pond to reflect upon, there are ample puddles [...]

Prime Real Estate – Property # JSNJ007PRC
Mobility! Nature! Simplicity! Here one of the great ironies of modern life presents itself in full – by opting against a central location, the endless conveniences of a civilized city, and the benefits of living elbow to elbow in a thirty-floor cement block, you may actually be able to find peace, quiet, and space in [...]

Prime Real Estate – Property # JSNJ006PRC
This property aims to dissolve the border between Civilization and Nature, to open the possibility for a more harmonious, organic life. The load-bearing tree’s canopy combines with fabricated materials to create shelter in a most ‘original’ sense, and an inviting open-air patio lures inhabitants in like the suggestive mouth of a cave. Always changing, it [...]

Prime Real Estate – Property # JSNJ012PRC
What this substantial piece of city land is doing unpaved and undeveloped is a mystery of commerce and real estate. Whatever the reason, that red flag piercing the mud surely indicates a coming edifice. A new age high rise, perhaps? Another shopping mall? Share this:EmailRedditStumbleUponDigg
