Prime Residential Land in Central Sapporo with Development Potential
This prime residential land parcel, located in the sought-after Minami 10-jo Nishi 9-chome area of Sapporo's Chuo Ward, offers a substantial 435.90 sqm (approximately 131.85 tsubo) plot. The property is well-connected, with a 7-minute walk to the Sapporo City Tram's Yamahana 9-jo Station and a 13-minute walk to the Namboku Subway Line's Nakajima Koen Station, providing excellent access to the wider city.
Critical property details from the agent notes include the following translated information. The road access situation is detailed as: one-sided road, south-facing, width 4m, private road, frontage 40.4m, with a designated location. Special remarks note: The floor area ratio is 160%. The floor area ratio is a numerical limit based on the width of the front road. Other legal restrictions include: land readjustment project regulation zone, collective residential inducement area, landscape planning area, and residential urban area.
The land is zoned as Category I Exclusive Residential District under the Urban Planning Act, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and the aforementioned floor area ratio of 160%. The site is relatively flat and is currently in a vacant house (古家) condition, meaning an existing structure is present but likely requires demolition. There are no specific building conditions attached to the land, and it is classified as a re-buildable plot. The transfer of ownership is negotiable.
The area is part of Sapporo's vibrant central district, known for its blend of urban convenience and green spaces. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Nakajima Park, a short walk from the Nakajima Koen subway station, was designed based on the concept of an English landscape garden and features a traditional Japanese garden, a concert hall, and the historic Hokkaido Government Office building. The closest major landmark is the iconic Sapporo Clock Tower, a symbol of the city's pioneering history and a key tourist attraction located just a few kilometers north.
