Sankei Building and Tokyu Livable Launch New Development Project

In an exciting development for urban living, Sankei Building and Tokyu Livable have announced the commencement of their collaborative project, tentatively named the Shin-Ohashi 1-Chome Plan in Koto Ward, Tokyo. This initiative marks a significant step in their partnership, building on previous collaborations in residential condominium sales under the Lufon brand.

The project aims to integrate the design and planning expertise developed by both firms to offer a new residential experience that caters to the evolving needs of city dwellers. Here are some key highlights of what residents can expect:

Prime Location with Excellent Transport Links

Located just a five-minute walk from the Morishita Station on the Toei Oedo Line and a ten-minute walk from Hamacho Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, this new project provides residents with convenient access to Tokyo’s key destinations. Commuters can reach Shinjuku Station in approximately 17 minutes, while Otemachi Station can be accessed in about 14 minutes. With a total travel time of under 25 minutes to major urban areas, this location offers a perfect blend of city convenience and neighbourhood charm, enhanced by nearby amenities such as supermarkets, drug stores, and the beautiful views along the Sumida River.

Elegant Design Harmonizing with Local Culture

The exterior design emphasizes a harmonious integration with the surrounding townscape, reflecting the traditional allure of the area. The building will feature a striking lounge area that is visually impressive from the outside, creating a pleasant first impression as well as a welcoming atmosphere.

The facade, characterized by calm colors and depth-enhancing features, conveys a sense of sophistication that embodies the essence of shitamachi, or downtown Tokyo's cultural aesthetic. The lounge serves as a multifaceted space for residents, offering a serene escape from the urban hustle.

Premium Living Experience with Diverse Options

The development will include well-appointed 1DK and 2LDK apartments, catering to various lifestyles from singles to dual-income couples. Lower floors will primarily offer 1DK units, while the upper levels will feature spacious 2LDK configurations, providing ample room for modern living.

Designed with a hotel-like corridor, the collective environment enhances feelings of luxury and comfort. Furthermore, high-tech conveniences such as a hands-free key system and emergency provisions through dedicated storage facilities will significantly contribute to resident safety and comfort.

Commitment to SDGs and Sustainable Living

This project reinforces Sankei Building and Tokyu Livable's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key initiatives include non-contact access to entrances and amenity facilities, the installation of EV chargers to support a carbon-neutral future, and the provision of free Wi-Fi in communal areas to enhance the well-being and productivity of residents.

Additionally, the greenery and exterior planning aim to improve the local landscape and urban development, while preparations for disaster readiness are also prioritized with strategically placed emergency supplies.
