Tokyo Housing Production Compared To London, Paris, New York

12/3/2013

0 Comments

 
By Stephen J. Smith | NEXT CITY


When New Yorkers imagine real estate development in their city, they tend to imagine voracious builders – they think about the crop of towers rising in downtown Brooklyn, in Williamsburg and around the High Line, the construction sites that litter the far west side and Hudson Yards, and the Billionaire’s Row of supertall skyscrapers massing south of Central Park on 57th Street, and they imagine a city overcome by developers.


The narrative of New York as captive to builders overrunning any rational bounds to growth is a popular one, but the statistics – annual housing production numbers so meager that they’d surprise even Amanda Burden, New York’s chief city planner – tell a different story.

According to numbers compiled by James Gleeson for a paper released by Greater London Mayor Boris Johnson’s office on the need to build more housing, New York’s housing production lags far behind its main “world city” competitors, London and Tokyo. In fact, despite New York’s skycraping reputation – it has more high-rises, however you count, than relatively squat Tokyo and London – it actually has more in common with Paris, a city with a reputation for being frozen in its 19th century urban form, when it comes to current growth.

Pampered In Tokyo: A Real Estate Developer Peddles A Lifestyle To Go With Luxury Digs

2/16/2013

The ARK Hills Sengokuyama Residence, in a new luxury high-rise in central Tokyo, was designed with an expat clientele in mind. Living rooms are larger than is common in Japan, in line with American and European tastes. The front-desk staff speaks both Japanese and English. On the ground level are upscale restaurants, a coffee shop, a mini-supermarket and a nursery school.

....
 Rents at Sengokuyama range from $2,900 a month for a one-bedroom to more than $27,000 for a five-bedroom, while units for sale start from $715,000 for a one-bedroom. The most expensive unit—a five-bedroom, three-bathroom suite measuring nearly 4,500 square feet—recently sold for $14.6 million.
....
Tokyo's luxury-apartment market has been hit hard by the global downturn, credit crises and the rising yen. Rents in the section of Tokyo where Mori has many of its projects are down nearly 25% from early 2008, according to data compiled by real-estate brokerage Ken Corp.
