Sales of apartments in The Parkhouse Hiroo Hanezawa begin this month
Mitsubishi Jisho Residence will begin sales of apartments in The Parkhouse Hiroo Hanezawa.
Readers may remember that these apartments are being built on the site of the former Hanezawa Garden - home of Yoshikoto Nakamura (1867 - 1927). Mr. Nakamura was a former Mayor of Tokyo, Railroad Minister and second Chairman of the South Manchurian Railway Company. The original house (c1915) had been used as a wedding facility / reception hall since the 1950s.
Mitsubishi acquired the site in 2011 and demolished the house in early 2012, much to the dismay of neighbours.Read more
