MT Higashi-Ikebukuro Building: Modern Commercial Space in Tokyo's Bustling Hub
This commercial property, the MT Higashi-Ikebukuro Building, offers a prime and modern workspace in the vibrant district of Toshima, Tokyo. The unit is a spacious 53.38 sqm (approximately 16.14 tsubo) corner room located on the 1st floor of an 8-storey steel-framed building, scheduled for completion in January 2026. Its strategic location provides excellent accessibility, being just a 5-minute walk from the JR Yamanote Line's Otsuka Station and an 11-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line's Shin-Otsuka Station, placing you within easy reach of central Tokyo.
The property comes equipped with city gas and an elevator. Critical agent notes have been translated: The security company is Japan Safety. The electrical capacity is substantial, with lighting at 20KVA and a maximum power capacity of 35KW. The gas intake pipe is equipped with a 32A stop valve, and the water intake pipe has a 25A stop valve. Telephone line installation is possible, and a shared TV reception system (UHF, BS/CS110° antenna installed on the roof) is in place. The building features mechanical security and allows for signboard installation, though the placement and content require prior consultation. Importantly, while restaurants are permitted, establishments classified as 'heavy eating and drinking' (likely meaning late-night bars or noisy eateries) are not allowed. The lease renewal fee is set at one month of the new rent.
The rental terms include a security deposit of 8 months' rent and a key money (reikin) payment of 1 month's rent. There is no separate security bond (hoshokin). A monthly common area fee of 33,000 yen applies, but there is no separate management fee. The initial guarantee fee for the rent guarantee company is 100% of the total rent.
The surrounding area of Higashi-Ikebukuro is a dynamic mix of commercial and residential energy, known for its proximity to the massive Ikebukuro district, one of Tokyo's major urban centers. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Sunshine City complex, a short distance away, was built on the former site of the Sugamo Prison and now houses one of the world's tallest aquarium towers within its skyscraper. The closest major landmark is the historic and stunning Meiji Jingu Shrine, a vast forested sanctuary in the heart of Tokyo, easily accessible via the Yamanote Line.
