Interesting House in Omotesando w/ Artistic Touches

Dear Investors,

 

 

Please let us introduce a house in Omotesando.  It is very different from average houses in terms of design.

 

 

Interesting House in Omotesando

 

 

Its details are:

 

 

Location: Jingumae, Shibuya-ku (6-min walk from Meiji-jingumae station of Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line & 9-min walk from Omotesando station of Tokyo Metro Ginza Line & Hanzomon Line)

Land: 98.35 sq. meters

Floor area: 153.56 sq. meters

Structure: RC, wood

Price: 148,000,000 yen

 

 

Omotesando is known as a very trendy district.  It is probably the most trendy town in Japan.  As a matter of fact, the whole town is always crowded with shoppers and fashion boutiques.  People from all corners of Japan and the world come to Omotesando for shopping and sightseeing.

 

 

The house is NOT suitable for investment because it wil be difficult to find tenants due largely to its layout.  In particular, there is no bathroom in the entire house, and the parking area won’t be accessbile unless the staircase to the entrance hall is removed. 

 

 

FYI, the current owner used to rent the basement to a studio operator at 1,000,000 yen/month.

 

 

The house is far more suitable for residence of an individual who loves a different life style, artistic touches on a house, and/or Omotesando.

 

 

Please let us know, if you are interested in it.

 

 

Best regards,

Koshigaya – a growing satellite city of Tokyo

Dear Investors,

 

 

Koshigaya is a satellite city of Tokyo.  Like other cities and towns outside of Tokyo, it is growing in population.  Also, it is conveniently connected with Tokyo by Tobu Tojo Line, which is enabling people to move from Koshigaya to many towns in Tokyo within an hour.   As a result, Koshigaya is becoming more popular than before for residence.  More people commute to work and go to shcool fromKoshigaya.

 

 

Real estate value of Koshigaya will probably keep increasing.  In particular, land development for about -10,000,000 sq. meter-land right in front of the east exit/entrance of Koshigaya station is going to increase the land’s value significantly with a 100-meter-tall high rise condo and commercial facilities, such as, restaurants, shops, and medical clinics. 

 

 

So much area in Koshigaya is still underdeveloped.  This suggests that Koshigaya still has room for further growth in terms of real estate.

 

 

about 10,000,000-sq. meter land is under development

Please let us know, if you are interested to invest in Koshigaya.

 

 

Best regards,

The commercial property is in the middle of a commercial district spreading in the east of Koshigaya station.  Just like other satellite cities of Tokyo, Koshigaya is growing in population and its commercial districts are bustling with more shoppers than before.

 

In particular, approximately 10,000,000-sq.meter-land right in front of Koshigaya station has been developed and a new commercial zone (e.g. an about 100-meter high condominium, shops, and restaurants) will be created on the land in near future.

 

 

Securing financing to purchase this property may be difficult largely because of its characteristic being commercial.   In other words, it may be suitable for cash buyers looking for a high yield from a property in a suburb of Tokyo.

 

 

Please let us know, if you are interested in it.

 

 

Best regards,
