Prime Development Land in Sakata's Central Redevelopment Area
This 500.84 sqm (approximately 151.50 tsubo) plot of land presents a significant development opportunity in the heart of Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture. The property is situated within the designated Nakamachi Redevelopment Area, a zone poised for growth and revitalization. It is located near the site of a currently under-construction business hotel (formerly the Piretsu Building), indicating active investment and development in the immediate vicinity.
The land comes with all essential utilities in place, including water supply, sewerage, side ditches, and electricity. The site is flat with no slope, and it fronts an 8-meter wide public road on its eastern side, with a road frontage of 14.9 meters. The current condition of the property includes two old houses. A key condition of the sale is that the seller will bear the cost of demolition, and the land will be delivered as a cleared, vacant lot ready for new construction.
Zoned as Commercial within the City Planning Area's Urbanization Promotion Zone, the land offers a floor area ratio of 200% and a building coverage ratio of 60%. Its optimal use is designated for residential purposes. The property is a short 16-minute walk from the JR Uetsu West Line's Sakata Station, providing regional rail connectivity.
The surrounding Sakata area is a historic port city on the Sea of Japan coast, known for its role in the Kitamaebune trade during the Edo period. A fascinating local landmark is the Sankyo Soko Rice Storehouses, a collection of atmospheric, black-walled kura warehouses that are a designated Important Cultural Property and offer a glimpse into the city's prosperous mercantile past.
