Foretseine Akasaka Hinokizaka

Size range: 73.46 ~ 170.46 sqm (790 ~ 1834 sqft)

Area: Akasaka, Minato-ku

 ABOUT

Foretseine Akasaka Hinokizaka is a high-end 7-story condominium apartment building developed by Mori Trust Group. Mori's projects, especially the Foretseine brand, are aimed at the very top end of the luxury market. Some of their large-scale developments include Marunouchi Trust City and Shiroyama Trust Tower. Mori Trust is a subsidiary of Mori Building.

It is located in a prime position just up the hill from Hinokicho Park and Tokyo Midtown. The site was once home to several large homes but has been vacant since 2009. The northern corner of the site borders onto a private estate owned by the Bank of Japan.

It is located next door to Proud Akasaka Hikawacho and across the street from Park Mansion Roppongi.

Sales began in November 2014 and all apartments offered for sale by the developer had sold out by April 2015. When new, apartments were priced from 108 ~ 478 million Yen (approx. 1,470,000 ~ 2,800,000 Yen/sqm).

Construction was completed in January 2016.

The building was built using the base-isolation (menshin) earthquake-resistant method of construction. This is the highest-grade and most expensive option. It reduces the level of shaking in an earthquake and lowers the risk of furniture and valuables from falling over. Due to its cost, it is normally reserved for high-rise buildings.Read more


New 44-storey apartment building for Akasaka

Akasaka 9 Chome North District Redevelopment 2
The original design, which has since been changed.

The Akasaka 9 Chome North District Redevelopment is scheduled to begin construction in October 2014 with completion in March 2017. The project will include a 44-storey 170m tall residential building with 330 apartments.

The developer is Mitsui Fudosan Residential, so if this becomes a condominium (rather than a rental-only building) then it could possibly be branded as one of their 'Park Court' series of apartments. Read more
