About Grace Hatchobori

Formerly known as "Owning Hatchobori," the symbol of high-quality construction in the region, Grace Hatchobori is not only distinguishable by its prime location on Shindai-bashi Avenue, which enhances visibility but also boasts approximately 100 tsubo in standard floor area with spacious private terraces on each office level, creating an inviting atmosphere for businesses.

The property is conveniently located, with multiple subway stations very close by, providing strong accessibility; for instance, just 10 minutes from Hatchobori Station to Kasumigaseki and 16 minutes to Roppongi. This excellent transport network significantly adds to its attractiveness for businesses.

Moreover, Grace Hatchobori holds the highest rating (5 stars) from BELS (Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System) and has obtained the ZEB Ready certification, indicating its commitment to energy-saving technologies and a step closer to a decarbonized society. With amenities such as an entrance café, set-up offices, and a rooftop terrace, this newly constructed property combines high functionality with impressive design, establishing its rarity and importance as a key asset for Loadstar Capital's growth strategy.

About the Hatchobori Area

The Hatchobori area is steeped in history and closely adjacent to notable hubs like Yaesu, Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, and Ginza. It provides easy access to numerous public transportation options and well-established main roads, all within walking distance of Tokyo Station. Unlike the ever-increasing office renting prices in surrounding areas, Hatchobori offers relatively affordable rates, making it a pragmatic choice for businesses, particularly financial institutions.

Recent trends indicate a tightening demand-supply balance in office spaces near Tokyo Station, and Hatchobori is positioned as a significant alternative to accommodate this demand. The ongoing large-scale redevelopment projects in nearby areas are also expected to further enhance the overall value of Hatchobori over time.

Tokyo's Office Market

Tokyo’s office rental market has seen steady demand owing to the return of employees to offices and the expansion initiatives of companies focused on talent acquisition. In the core five districts of the city, the average vacancy rate is expected to remain significantly below 5%, indicating almost full occupancy. The current average listed rent has been on the rise continuously for 30 months as of 2024, culminating at ¥23,287 per tsubo by July 2026, a significant increase from levels observed before the Lehman crisis, suggesting that the current market remains economically advantageous.

As the real estate market is often slower to react compared to the financial market, Loadstar Capital is operating under the premise that as Japan moves towards inflation and a supply-constrained era, properties will see a natural escalation in value. Notably, the rise in new office rental prices has begun to accelerate, signaling growing investor interest both domestically and internationally.

Given this favorable environment, Loadstar Capital is determined to leverage its expertise in real estate investment and continue acquiring competitive and valuable properties, focusing predominantly on office buildings. The company's agility and trusted relationships within the market will drive its initiative to expand its portfolio successfully.
