Spacious Commercial Apartment Building in Tokyo's Vibrant Takadanobaba
This substantial apartment building presents a prime investment opportunity in the sought-after Takadanobaba district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Constructed in March 2005, the property is a robust 4-storey, steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) structure containing 14 units. It offers a significant total floor area of approximately 455.62 square meters (about 137.82 tsubo) on a land plot of 149.07 square meters (about 45.09 tsubo). The building is currently tenanted, providing immediate rental income with the potential for owner change.
Critical property details, as provided by the agent, include the available equipment and utilities: city gas, water supply, sewer system, and electricity are all connected. Special notes on road access specify that the property fronts a public road on one side to the south, with a generous width of 15.9 meters. The land is situated within an Urbanization Area, zoned for commercial use, and is classified as residential land. The building coverage ratio is 80% with a floor area ratio of 500%. The transaction is noted as a general brokerage and involves a sale with existing tenants in place.
The Takadanobaba area is a dynamic and youthful neighborhood, famously known as a student hub due to the presence of Waseda University and several other schools. An interesting local fact is that the area's name, which means "Takada Horse Ground," originates from its history as a horseback archery training ground during the Edo period. Today, it's a bustling mix of affordable eateries, entertainment, and convenient transport. The closest major landmark is the historic Meiji Jingu Shrine, a vast, serene forested shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, located just a few stations away on the JR Yamanote Line.
