Park Court Aoyama The Tower
Construction scandal shakes new apartment sales in October
According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, 2,921 new apartments were released for sale in October, up 20.2% from the previous month but down 6.5% from last year. This is the second month in a row to see a decline in supply from the previous year and has been attributed to both an increase in prices as well as the discovery of a faulty condominium in Yokohama last month which has caused turmoil in the real estate industry. Before news broke of the construction mishap, the Institute were predicting 3,500 apartments to be offered for sale in October. Although Autumn is typically a period of heavy sales activity by developers, the sales of several projects were delayed due to the uncertainty following the Yokohama apartment scandal. Only one large-scale project (a building containing over 100 units) went on sale in October, down from four large-scale projects last year.
A researcher from the Institute said that visitor numbers to apartment show rooms were relatively flat, and it is possible that developers will continue to delay sales until consumer confidence in the new apartment market improves.
2,010 apartments were sold, making the contract rate 68.8%, up 2.8 points from the previous month and up 5.5 points from last year.
475 apartments in high-rise buildings (over 20 storeys) were offered for sale, up 36.5% from last year. The contract rate was 79.8%.
The average price of a brand new apartment released for sale in greater Tokyo was 53,640,000 Yen, down 0.5% from the previous month but up 17.6% from last year. The average price per square meter was 759,000 Yen, down 0.3% from the previous month but up 19.0% from last year.

| ABOUT |
All new apartments sold out on the first day of sales in June 2015.
The Parkhouse Gran Minamiaoyama is a luxury condominium from Mitsubishi Jisho Residence’s ‘The Parkhouse Gran’ series of condominiums. It is located right in the heart of Omotesando and is 200 meters from the Prada Boutique. When new, apartment prices ranged from 1,900,000 ~ 3,460,000 Yen/sqm, with an average price of 2,300,000 Yen/sqm.
Of the 101 apartments, only 20 were made available for sale, with 81 going to landholders and participants of the project. Given the very prestigious and exclusive location, and the extremely limited supply of apartments, interest in this project was extremely high. The largest apartment in the building was priced at around 3,500,000 Yen/sqm.
Features include doorman and concierge.
Car parking is limited to 66 spaces, of which 50 will be flat-type parking and 15 will be machine parking. Since parking is limited, owners of President and Premium Suites (eg. apartments over 145 sqm) will receive preferential selection for parking spaces.
The building was completed in August 2016, with apartments delivered to buyers from November 2016.
Along with Mitsui’s Park Mansion, Mitsubishi’s The Parkhouse Gran is one of the most luxurious condominium brands in Japan. The brand was introduced in 2013 and they have already completed two projects – The Parkhouse Gran Sanbancho and The Parkhouse Gran Chidorigafuchi in Chiyoda-ku. Prices in Chidorigafuchi were around 2.4 million Yen/sqm when sales began in 2013, which made it the most expensive apartment building in Japan since 2008.

New apartment prices down 10% in Tokyo
According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, 3,125 brand new apartments were released for sale in greater Tokyo in October, down 6.3% from the previous month and down 10.9% from last year. This is the 9th month in a row to see a year-on-year decline in supply.
The drop in supply is due primarily to an expected drop in demand following the increase in consumption tax in April 2014, as well as rising construction costs which are limiting the viability of many projects for developers. Sales for apartments priced under 40 million Yen have become particularly slow in recent months.
With recent data showing the second consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth in Japan, it seems highly probable that the next planned increase in the consumption tax rate will be delayed. A spokesperson from the Institute believes a delay in the next tax rise will provide a very positive benefit for the market.
1,978 apartments were sold, making the contract rate 63.3%, down 8.3 points from the previous month and down 16.3 points from last year. This is the lowest contract rate seen since February 2009 when it reached 61.7%. This is also the second month in a row where the rate has dropped below the 70% level which is considered to be the line between a positive and negative market conditions.
