A Canvas for Urban Living in Tokyo's Taito Ward
This 204.94 sqm (approximately 61.99 tsubo) plot of land in Taito Ward's Kiyokawa 1-chome presents a rare opportunity for development in the heart of Tokyo. Priced at 180,000,000 JPY, the land offers a blank slate with no construction conditions attached, allowing for complete creative freedom. The property is designated as residential land within an urbanization promotion area and falls under a Category 2 Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a favorable floor area ratio of 400% and a building coverage ratio of 80%.
According to the agent's notes, the land is flat and fully serviced with city gas, electricity, and water supply and drainage systems. It is optimally suited for condominium development. The property fronts a 4-meter wide public road on its west side, with a total road frontage of 8.3 meters, and is paved. The land is to be delivered as vacant land. The agent's remarks further describe the area as having a distinct, slightly rough-edged 'shitamachi' (old downtown) atmosphere that is immediately accessible from the city center, adding a unique character to the location. They note that redevelopment in the surrounding Minami-Senju station area is ongoing, suggesting a neighborhood in positive transition.
The Kiyokawa area of Taito Ward is a fascinating blend of Tokyo's historical layers and contemporary life. An interesting local fact is that the ward is home to the world's oldest surviving wooden five-storied pagoda, located at Kan'ei-ji Temple in Ueno. The pagoda, built in 1648, has survived fires, earthquakes, and war, standing as a silent witness to the city's history. The closest major landmark to this property is the expansive Ueno Park, a cultural hub featuring museums like the Tokyo National Museum, a zoo, and beautiful seasonal gardens, all just a short distance away.
