Compact Investment Apartment in the Heart of Shinjuku
This 1K apartment offers a prime investment opportunity in one of Tokyo's most dynamic districts. Located in Shinjuku 5-chome, the property is a short walk from Shinjuku-sanchome Station (3 minutes), Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station (5 minutes), and the major Shinjuku Station (11 minutes). The building is a 5-story reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in August 1977, with this unit situated on the 2nd floor. The private wall-core area is 18.82 sqm (approx. 5.69 tsubo), complemented by a 2.97 sqm balcony with a western exposure.
Translated agent notes provide essential details. The property is currently tenanted, with a projected annual rental income of 960,000 yen and a yield of 6.4%. The interior was fully renovated in July 2020, including floors, walls, ceilings, and fixtures. Equipment includes an IH cooking heater, storage space, air conditioning, an indoor washing machine space, a monitor-equipped intercom, and an elevator. Special notes confirm that owner changes are permitted, and the unit can be used for office purposes. The management is partially outsourced with a巡回管理 (rotating/patrol-based superintendent). The building has a total of 17 units.
The Shinjuku area is a world-famous hub of business, entertainment, and government. An interesting fact is that beneath the bustling streets lies the "Shinjuku Subnade," a vast underground shopping city connecting multiple stations. The closest major landmark is the serene and expansive Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a stunning blend of traditional Japanese, English landscape, and French formal gardens, offering a peaceful escape just minutes from the property's doorstep.
