Third Murakami Building: Spacious Commercial Space in Kunitachi, Tokyo
This commercial property, the Third Murakami Building, offers a substantial 350.00 sqm (approximately 105.87 tsubo) of exclusive floor space across a unique maisonette layout spanning the basement and first floor. Constructed in November 1981, this reinforced concrete (RC) building stands five stories above ground with one basement level. The property is situated in a designated commercial neighborhood area within Kunitachi City, Tokyo, providing excellent accessibility. It is within a 15-minute walk from the Chuo Main Line's Kunitachi Station, a 14-minute walk from the Nambu Line's Yagawa Station, and a 16-minute walk from Nishi-Kunitachi Station.
Key features and equipment include hot water supply and a dedicated toilet. Special notes highlight the maisonette design and the significant benefit of free parking for 2-3 vehicles. Important remarks for potential tenants are detailed: For commercial lease agreements, consumption tax is applied separately to the rent (¥715,000). If the space is to be used as a warehouse, negotiation to reduce the security deposit (shikikin) to up to 3 months is possible. Businesses involving early morning or late-night comings and goings may be refused. The space cannot be used for rental spaces, trunk rooms, or short-term contracts. Industries that handle items producing noise, vibration, or odors during operation may also be refused. A rent guarantee company is required, with an initial guarantee fee of 100% of the total rent and an annual guarantee fee of 10% of the total rent. The renewal fee is equivalent to one month of the new rent.
The area of Kunitachi is known for its "university town" atmosphere, centered around Hitotsubashi University, lending a vibrant, academic feel with numerous cafes and bookstores. An interesting local fact is that the city's name, meaning "national capital," was chosen in the 1920s to reflect its aspirations as a center for education and culture. The closest major landmark is the beautiful Showa Memorial Park, a vast national park in nearby Tachikawa featuring expansive gardens, forests, and seasonal flower displays, offering a serene escape from urban life.
