Prime Development Land in Uruma with Excellent Highway Access
This substantial land parcel of 3,195.43 square meters (approximately 966.61 tsubo) presents a significant development opportunity in the Uruma City area of Okinawa. The property is strategically located just a 6-minute drive from the Okinawa Kita (North) Interchange, offering excellent access to the island's main highway network. The site is comprised of three separate land plots, two of which are currently designated as farmland. Prospective buyers should note that an application under Article 5 of the Agricultural Land Law will be required for development on those two plots.
The terrain of the land is sloped, with the entire site situated below the level of the frontage road, creating a terraced, 'hidan' (stepped) landscape. A key future infrastructure improvement is planned for the front road, which is scheduled to be widened to a generous 12.5-meter width as part of a road improvement project, enhancing future access and value. The land is zoned as Category 1 Low-Rise Residential, with a building coverage ratio of 50% and a floor area ratio of 100%.
The area of Uruma City is rich in history, formed from the merger of several towns. An interesting local fact is that the city's Katsuren Peninsula is home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Katsuren Castle Ruins, a testament to the Ryukyu Kingdom's power and trade networks. While this land is ideal for a project such as a care facility, its location also places residents within easy reach of Okinawa's beautiful east coast and the scenic Mid-Sea Road, a series of causeways connecting several islands.
