Prime Development Land in Shinjuku's Vibrant Neighborhood
This vacant land parcel in Shinjuku's Hyakunincho 3-chome presents a prime opportunity for residential development in one of Tokyo's most dynamic wards. The property is a level plot of land with a total area of 39.25 square meters (approximately 11.87 tsubo), offering a blank canvas for constructing a new home or investment property. The land is designated as residential within the Urbanization Promotion Area and falls under the First Category Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 160%.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for development planning. The road access situation is detailed as follows: it fronts on a single public road to the west, which is 4 meters wide. The property's frontage along this road is 5.1 meters. It is noted that there is no designated position (位置指定無). A further remark clarifies the land's topography: the terrain is flat, and the specifics are determined by the width of the fronting road.
The location offers excellent connectivity, being just a 9-minute walk from Okubo Station on the JR Chuo-Sobu Local Line. It is also within a 13-minute walk of both Takadanobaba and Shin-Okubo Stations on the JR Yamanote Line, providing direct access to major hubs like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro. The area of Hyakunincho is known for its diverse international community and vibrant street life, blending residential calm with urban convenience. An interesting local fact is that the name "Hyakunincho" (百人町) historically refers to an area where one hundred samurai retainers were housed during the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the iconic Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a sprawling park famous for its traditional Japanese, English, and French landscape gardens, located just a short train or bus ride away.
