Presence Lodge Okayama Bancho: A Modern Residence in a Historic Setting
Presence Lodge Okayama Bancho is a sophisticated 13-story condominium offering 44 residences in the prestigious Bancho district of Okayama City. The building features a refined modern design with meticulous attention to material textures and detailed craftsmanship, creating a dignified residential presence. The design incorporates an L-shaped motif, from the gate-inspired entrance to the vertical white mullions, providing a bold, urban aesthetic. The entrance hall is styled as a welcoming, high-class space using large-format tiles and diverse materials.
The property includes comprehensive shared facilities such as pedestrian-vehicle separation design, an auto-lock system, parking (including EV charging outlets), bicycle and motorbike parking, a parcel delivery box, and a pet foot-washing station. Unit layouts range from 3LDK to 4LDK, with exclusive areas from approximately 60.13 to 86.17 square meters. Many units feature south-facing orientations and wide-span designs. Additional space options include alcoves, service balconies, terraces, roof balconies (with a monthly fee of 1,100 yen), and private gardens (with a monthly fee of 780 yen).
Critical agent notes have been translated and must be included: The sale is first-come, first-served, so desired units may already be under contract. When applying, bring your seal, a 100,000 yen application deposit (to be applied to the initial payment upon contract), income certificates for the last two years, and personal identification. All listed prices include the 10% consumption tax. The exclusive area and balcony sizes are based on building confirmation and are subject to change. A specific model unit (11th floor, unit 1102) comes with furniture and appliances (sofa, living set, dining set, cupboard, bed, desk, chair, TV board, lighting) for the period from November 10, 2025, until contract signing. Unit 304 on the 3rd floor is for office use from December 1, 2025, until contract signing and comes with installed lighting, air conditioning, and curtain lace. Both are sold in their "as-is" condition upon handover after procedures are complete. The building is completed (August 2025) and immediate occupancy is possible post-procedures.
The location in Bancho 1-chome is a quiet residential area near Okayama's castle town and city center, within walking distance of numerous cultural facilities. The area is well-served by daily amenities. An interesting local fact is that Okayama is known as the "Land of Sunshine" due to its consistently sunny and mild climate. The closest major landmark is the stunning Okayama Korakuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens, located just about 610 meters (an 8-minute walk) from the property, offering a serene historical landscape.
