Introduction
Odakyu Real Estate Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its first high-grade detached housing brand, 'The Leafia Setagaya Kitami.' Officially unveiled on April 28, the project features only three units located in the quiet, green area of Setagaya, Tokyo. The sales event will commence in mid-May, presenting potential buyers with a unique opportunity to experience the luxurious living standards of 'The Leafia' series.
The Leafia Series: A New Era in High-End Housing
The 'The Leafia' series is recognized for its exceptional quality, encompassing prime location, strong design, and superior amenities. With just one previous property under this luxurious brand—'The Leafia Residence Seijo'—this marks the first venture into detached houses. As such, the Leafia Setagaya Kitami is poised to become a landmark of elegance and distinction in its neighborhood.
Much of the newly built, detached homes in the greater Tokyo area hover around 100 square meters in floor space and maintain a mid-range specification, with prices ranging from several million to just under a billion yen. However, the growing number of affluent buyers now seeks more luxury. Odakyu aims to meet this demand by providing premium-class detached housing that was traditionally only available through custom-built homes.
Features of The Leafia Setagaya Kitami
1. Location
This property sits within a designated low-rise residential and scenic area, ensuring a serene and verdant living environment. Despite its calm surroundings, residents will benefit from excellent access to Kita-Mi Station, just a 3- to 4-minute walk away. The neighborhood is well-equipped with commercial facilities for everyday needs and is family-friendly, with nearby nurseries, elementary and middle schools, and hospitals, making it an ideal location for homebuyers.
2. Spacious and Well-Planned
The available plots are generously sized, up to 44.54 tsubo, while the total floor area extends to approximately 36.07 tsubo, providing ample living space. The interior includes a comprehensive air conditioning system that maintains comfortable temperatures throughout the year, a spacious 1620 size bath, and dual sinks in the washroom to enhance daily convenience. Furthermore, attention to detail in interior finishes—including porcelain tile in the entryway and a glass staircase handrail—reflects a commitment to luxury and refined aesthetics.
The external lighting has been curated by Panasonic, contributing to the property’s distinctive character and enhancing the overall streetscape.
3. Energy Efficiency and Resilience
Every unit conforms to Nearly ZEH (Nearly Zero Energy House) standards, receiving certification from third-party evaluation bodies for energy efficiency. Moreover, each home is equipped with an Enefarm unit, solar power systems, and battery storage as standard, creating a self-sufficient and environmentally-friendly residence that promotes cost-effective living. This setup also enhances resilience by ensuring that power remains available during emergencies, thus assuring peace of mind for residents.
First Platinum Certification for Detached Housing
The Leafia Setagaya Kitami has received the distinction of being the first new detached housing project to achieve Platinum Certification under the 'Healthy Housing Lively7' standard by Yamashita PMC, effective April 25, 2025. This certification evaluates residential properties based on criteria that prioritize the health benefits for occupants, especially in the growing context of wellbeing.
Recent design enhancements have incorporated elements that contribute to physical and mental health including landscaped environments with seasonal trees and flowers visible from inside the house, creating a connection to nature. Each unit is also equipped with an advanced heating and air exchange system to foster a comfortable indoor climate, enhancing overall living quality. The use of adjustable ambient lighting in the living area promotes synchronization with the body's natural rhythms, setting a tranquil atmosphere.
Surrounding amenities like Nogawa Green Path and Kitami Fureai Park encourage outdoor activities, supporting an active lifestyle for residents. Overall, efforts contributing to sensory experiences, cognitive engagement, vitality, and emotional well-being have garnered a high status in the certification’s rating criteria.
About the 'Healthy Housing Lively7' Certification
The 'Healthy Housing Lively7' certification program responds to rising public interest in wellbeing, establishing standards for residential environments that promote mental and physical health. A committee of specialists from various fields including fatigue medicine and community health evaluates housing based on thirty metrics across seven areas, offering Platinum, Gold, and Silver certifications based on their findings.
Ongoing developments in this field emphasize that simply living in a certified home does not guarantee health improvements, as individual needs and situations vary.
Conclusion
Odakyu Real Estate is committed to enhancing residents' lifestyles and living environments. As 'The Leafia' series evolves, so too will its product offerings, aiming to continually meet the refined expectations of discerning homebuyers seeking high-value residences.
