空間權(上空權)

若想讓高樓層建築的採光良好,其中一個可採取的方式,是向鄰近低矮建築購買其建築的空間權(上空權),使鄰近的建築保持低矮。購買鄰近建築的空間權(上空權)也許昂貴,卻不失為一個好的投資。比如說,持有這樣權利對基地週邊將來發展的利基是,在鄰近基地面臨新開發建築時,在自身建築取得最高採光、最低陰影的範圍下,將其餘的空間權(上空權)賣回鄰近給基地。

Air right
Access to the sun should be protected from high buildings. One way of doing so is by acquiring air rights to low buildings across the way, so they will stay low. It can be very expensive but also a good investment. The rights can have a high leverage over subsequent development, and there would be the possibility to selling parts of the rights for construction designed to cast minimum shadow on the open space.
