Tokyo luxury apartments

Recently a 300 sqm penthouse apartment with views of Tokyo Tower was reported to have sold for 1 billion Yen (approximately 9.5 million USD). The surprising aspect of the sale was that the apartment was one of several unsold developer-owned units in a building that was completed back in 2007.

The developer had tried for years to sell off the final remaining units after sales hit a slump following the global financial crisis in 2008. In late 2015, the developer re-started sales and has been able to sell some units at prices higher than pre-2008 levels.
