Financially, the property is listed for 5.8 million yen with monthly management fees of 9,300 yen and a repair reserve fund of 7,500 yen. It is currently tenanted, with projected annual rental income of 540,000 yen, yielding an estimated annual return of 9.3%.

The area around Shin-Osaka Station is a major transportation nexus, not just for the Shinkansen but also for local and subway lines, making it a hub of constant activity. An interesting fact is that the station was originally built primarily for the 1970 World Expo, cementing its role as Osaka's gateway to the world. The closest major landmark is the iconic Umeda Sky Building, a short train ride away, famous for its Floating Garden Observatory offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the city.
