Recently, Shenzhen talent Anju Group Co., Ltd. issued a notice on the public selection of affordable rental housing infrastructure REITs fund custody and regulatory bank selection projects, which shows that Shenzhen talent Anju group is actively preparing to apply for the pilot of affordable rental housing infrastructure REITs.
It is understood that in July 2021, the opinions on accelerating the development of affordable rental housing and the notice on further improving the pilot work of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the field of infrastructure were successively issued, and affordable rental housing was officially included in the pilot scope of infrastructure REITs industry. After the release of relevant policies, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Shenzhen talent Anju group and Shenzhen innovation investment group immediately launched the application preparation of affordable rental housing assets sorting, REITs product scheme demonstration and guaranteed rental housing policy discussion, and completed relevant preliminary work under the support and guidance of various departments of Shenzhen municipal government. At present, all work is carried out steadily.
According to the 14th five year plan for housing development in Shenzhen, the permanent resident population of Shenzhen is expected to increase to 18.6 million by the end of 2025. With the continuous net inflow of population, the housing demand of new citizens and young people in Shenzhen is also increasing. It is urgent to strengthen the construction and financing of affordable housing. In the five years since its establishment, Shenzhen talent Housing Group has given full play to its role as the main force in raising funds for the construction of public housing in the city. It has prepared 158000 sets of public housing and supplied 58000 sets of public housing, accounting for about 1 / 3 of the total in Shenzhen in the same period. It has served about 4800 enterprises, 120000 talents and their families, and played a positive role in stabilizing land prices, house prices and expectations in the city.
Shenzhen talent Anju Group actively explores the sustainable development model of rental housing through financial innovation. According to public data, in 2018, Shenzhen talent Anju group and Shenzhen Venture Capital Group successfully issued the country's first public talent rental housing REITs product in Shenzhen Stock Exchange, with an issuance scale of 3.1 billion yuan, and won the financial innovation award of Shenzhen and Guangdong Province. The successful issuance of this product has an important leading and demonstration effect on the innovation of national public housing investment and financing model. Shenzhen talent Anju Group actively participated in the pilot of infrastructure REITs, and is expected to continue to play a leading and exemplary role in exploring the sustainable development model of affordable rental housing, enrich the asset categories of China's infrastructure REITs market and promote the healthy development of REITs capital market.
