On November 1, 2025, a new assisted living home named 'Auheim Kunitachi' will open its doors in Kunitachi City, Tokyo. Developed by Az Partners, which is headquartered in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, this facility marks the 32nd addition to their 'Auheim' series. The location is ideally accessible via public transport, nestled between the JR Chuo Line 'Kunitachi' and 'Tachikawa' stations, making it a convenient choice for families and residents alike. The surrounding area is rich with educational institutions, research centers, and scenic parks such as the Showa Kinen Park, providing a serene backdrop for residents.
Design Philosophy
The three-story building features 128 rooms, designed with a focus on providing a welcoming atmosphere. The exterior emphasizes natural wood textures combined with innovative lighting that enhances its integration with the neighborhood during the day and radiates warmth at night. Inside, the decor incorporates the local flora’s color palette, connecting the community with every detail. The elegant yet cozy aesthetic is akin to that of an art museum, aiming to establish itself as a new local landmark that leaves a lasting impression on passersby.
Committed to the Community
The opening of 'Auheim Kunitachi' is particularly significant as it marks the first new assisted living facility within Kunitachi City in 11 years and the first in Koganei City in six years. In a region where the availability of senior housing has been limited, this new home aims to address the increasing demand for high-quality assisted living services. By implementing caregiver digital transformation (DX) along with a focus on self-reliance support for residents, 'Auheim Kunitachi' aspires to provide superior care in an environment where individuals can live safely and comfortably.
Additionally, a small park will be established in front of the home, designed as a community space where children can play and residents can gather. This feature aims to foster connections among community members and enhance the interactions between nature and humanity, allowing 'Auheim Kunitachi' to integrate seamlessly into the fabric of the neighborhood.
Starting in October 2025, 'Auheim Kunitachi' will hold preview events for prospective residents and their families. These guided tours will take place daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, including weekends and holidays, with reservations available both online and via phone.
