Buenos Aires, December 25 (NA) -- The Chamber of Commerce of the Chinese province of Guangdong has established its office in Canning, a locality situated between the municipalities of Esteban Echeverría and Ezeiza. This area is distinguished by its proliferation of gated communities and countries. The Chamber presents innovative housing solutions and state-of-the-art prefabricated homes, adapted to the local market. Both modular structures represent agile and efficient solutions for various residential, commercial, and industrial uses and are also noted for their logistical efficiency for importation. There are economical options starting from US$18,000, but in more complete and turnkey solutions (such as capsules), the initial price is around US$50,000 or more, not including the final installation on the land, highlighted the Noticias Argentinas agency.
A Growing Market The Chinese market for container homes is booming, with exports to Europe, the Americas, and other parts of the world. There are compact models (19.2 m²) and larger ones, with customizable designs for various functions (housing, offices, hotels). They are transported in 20 or 40-foot containers to optimize costs and avoid handling: they arrive almost fully assembled. They are popular for homes, offices, and health stations. They come equipped with water and light installations, kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms, with interior finishes and large windows. They feature double glazing for insulation, advanced drainage systems, and galvanized resistant frames. They are economical, with varying prices, and their total cost includes the product, shipping (CIF), and local customs duties/VAT, requiring customs agents for the exact calculation.
Variable Prices Prices for Chinese container homes in Argentina are highly variable, ranging from approximately US$18,000 for small, basic models (like tiny houses) to over US$50,000 for larger, better-equipped units, such as the capsule houses imported by Höli Haus, which arrive ready for installation. The final cost depends greatly on the size (15 m² to 60 m² or more), level of equipment (kitchen, bathroom, furniture), customization, and shipping and installation costs, which can be significant. Reference prices as of October are: Compact Models: US$18,369 (15 m², 1 room) up to US$26,740 (30 m², 2 rooms). Medium Models: US$44,465 (60 m², 4 rooms). Capsule Houses (Höli Haus): Start from US$50,000, are modular and quick to assemble, imported directly. Models on Amazon/Mercado Libre: Offers have been seen from around US$18,000 for two-story prefabricated houses, though prices may vary.
Institutional Presentation The official launch of these cutting-edge technology developments, designed under international quality standards with modular, adaptable structures ready for implementation in approximately 90 days, took place alongside the companies Nau House, Keerny, and San Juan, at an event that brought together private sector leaders, officials, diplomatic representatives, and the media. Following the Chamber's institutional presentation, two disruptive models were showcased that offer a high-efficiency logistical and housing solution: the space capsule and the double-wing expansion container with the capacity to adapt to any climate.
IP The event solidified as a space for exchange, networking, and the generation of strategic ties between Argentine and Chinese entrepreneurs, placing high-impact developments for the industry, logistics, and real estate sector on the agenda, and reinforcing the commercial ties between Argentina and China.
