Prime Development Land in Shinjuku's Haramachi District
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land for sale in the highly desirable Haramachi 3-chome area of Shinjuku, Tokyo. The property, with a land area of 58.42 square meters (approximately 17.67 tsubo), is a blank canvas for residential development. It is conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Ushigome-Yanagicho Station on the Toei Oedo Line, providing excellent access to central Tokyo.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective developers. The road access situation is detailed as follows: it fronts a one-sided road to the southeast, which is a private road with a width of 3.2 meters. The property's frontage along this private road is 8.2 meters, and it is noted that there is no 'position designation'. Furthermore, a special remark clarifies that the total land area requires a setback portion of 1.37 square meters. The land's topography is described as flat, which simplifies construction planning.
The land is zoned under the City Planning Act as a Category I Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 160%. The land rights are freehold ownership, and there are no specific building conditions attached, offering significant design freedom. The current state features an old house, and the handover date is negotiable.
The Shinjuku area is one of Tokyo's most dynamic wards, known for its juxtaposition of bustling skyscraper districts like Nishi-Shinjuku and quieter, traditional residential neighborhoods like Haramachi. An interesting fact is that Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest railway station, used by an average of over 3.5 million people daily. The closest major landmark to this property is the historic Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a sprawling park blending traditional Japanese, English landscape, and French formal garden styles, offering a serene escape just a short distance away.
