Land for Sale in Katsushika, Tokyo: A Development Opportunity with Important Considerations
This listing presents a plot of land for sale in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, located in the Higashi-Tateishi 4-chome district. The property is a vacant lot (更地) with a measured land area of 65.26 square meters (approximately 19.74 tsubo), priced at 8.8 million yen. The price per tsubo is calculated at 445,800 yen. The land is designated as residential land (宅地) within an urbanization promotion area and falls under a Quasi-Industrial District (準工業地域) zoning, with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
Critical agent notes highlight a significant legal restriction: the property does not front a road as defined by the Building Standards Act for a distance of 2 meters or more. As a principle, this means increasing, rebuilding, or (re)constructing a building on this land is not permitted. Interested parties must be aware of this condition beforehand. The notes further specify that an extended portion of the plot is a pathway on the neighboring eastern property, prohibiting the installation of any structures. However, there is a potential avenue: there is a possibility that construction could be allowed if the matter is brought before the Katsushika Ward Building Examination Committee. Prospective buyers are advised to consult with this committee.
The property is situated within an 8-minute walk from Keisei Electric Railway's Keisei Tateishi Station on the Oshiage Line, providing convenient access to central Tokyo. The land is level and the transaction is for ownership rights. The optimal use is listed as 'other land use'.
The area of Katsushika Ward offers a more residential and traditional side of Tokyo, known for its historic shitamachi (downtown) atmosphere and numerous waterways. A notable nearby landmark is the historic Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, a famous and beautifully decorated temple complex known for its detailed wood carvings and serene garden, offering a peaceful escape from the urban bustle.
