Four apartments are currently for sale in the Roppongi Hills Residences. The Residences form part of the landmark Roppongi Hills complex, which includes an office tower, restaurants, a retail mall, Grand Hyatt Hotel, TV Asahi studio, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, and Escada boutiques.

Roppongi Hills is a nationally and internationally renowned complex and is considered one of the most desirable places to live, work and play. Residents can enjoy a rooftop party room, bilingual concierge desk, and may elect to join the on-site Roppongi Hills Spa & Gym. Of the 793 apartments in the four residential buildings, less than half are owned by private individuals, with the remainder held by Mori Building and available for rent only. All apartments in Residence C, for example, are rental only.

Apartment resale values in this complex have generally remained relatively high over the past 14 years. In early 2016, a 2-story penthouse was listed for sale for 4,420,000 Yen/sqm. Apartments on lower floors range in price from 2,500,000 ~ 3,500,000 Yen/sqm (2,085 ~ 2,920 USD / sq ft) depending on floor height and apartment size.

Of the four current sale listings in the building, two are vacant and ready to move into, while the other two are leased to tenants and suitable for investors only.Read more


For Sale: Historic Taisho-Modern House in Shinjuku


*Update: This house was sold and demolished.

One of the first homes to be built in the Mejiro Bunka-mura subdivision is for sale. The pre-war home is one of just a very small number of surviving historic houses in this neighbourhood. As much as 70% of the Bunka-mura neighbourhood was destroyed during air raids in 1944 and 1945, while urban development in recent decades saw the demolition of many the few remaining original residences.

Although the age of this house is unknown, the Taisho-Modern style house could potentially be 90+ years old.

The property is being sold as land only, with the house to be included as-is. No value has been placed on the house as it is expected a buyer will demolish it to build a new one. As such, it is listed at land value. Read more

Meguro Bauhaus Masterpiece by Tsuchiura Kameki - SOLD

tsuchiura-residence-kamiosaki-6
Tsuchiura Kameki (1897-1996) started his career working for Frank Lloyd Wright in Wright’s Taliesin studio in Wisconsin in the 1920s. Tsuchiura’s earlier works were influenced by Wright’s style, but in the 1930s he shifted over to the Bauhaus style.

Located in a high-end residential neighbourhood between Meguro and Ebisu Stations, this home was designed by Tsuchiura as his own personal residence. This was the second residence he designed for himself and is regarded as one of his best surviving works and a pioneer of modern town housing. Tsuchiura lived in the house until his passing in 1996. Over the years he and his wife entertained many notable guests in the architecture world including greats such as Kunio Maekawa and Yoshio Taniguchi. The home even left a lasting impression on Pritzker Prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki who recalls being impressed by the modernity of the house when he visited it at an early age.Read more
