Showa Construction's Lifetown Ogawa: A Planned Residential Community in Kumamoto
Showa Construction presents Lifetown Ogawa, a residential land development project in Uki City, Kumamoto Prefecture. This is a sale of building-conditioned land, meaning the purchase is contingent upon signing a building contract with a designated contractor within a specified period. The development consists of 20 plots in total, all currently available for sale, with land sizes ranging from approximately 175.19 to 185.47 square meters. The price range for these plots is from 6.4 million to 7.5 million yen.
According to the agent's notes, the key equipment and infrastructure for the development is confirmed by the Kumamoto Prefectural Government Central Land Development Permit Number 65. This official permit number indicates that the necessary public utilities and development plans have been approved. The area is serviced by Kyushu Electric Power, public water supply, and public sewage systems, ensuring modern conveniences are in place. The development is scheduled for completion in August 2025.
The land is situated in a non-city planning area (非線引区域) with no specific use district designated, offering flexibility. The building-to-land ratio is 60% with a floor area ratio of 200%. The transaction is directly with the seller, Showa Construction Co., Ltd., meaning no brokerage fees are required for the buyer. The property rights are full ownership.
The location offers convenient daily living, with AEON Mall Uki approximately 1,100 meters away and Kawae Elementary School within 1,300 meters. Public transport is accessible via the Sanko Bus stop "Ikkenya," a 4-minute walk from the site. The area of Uki City in Kumamoto is known for its blend of rural tranquility and accessibility to urban amenities. An interesting local fact is that Uki City is part of the larger Shimomashiki District, an area historically known for its agricultural production. The closest major landmark is the iconic and active volcano, Mount Aso, one of Japan's largest calderas and a major tourist attraction within Kumamoto Prefecture, offering breathtaking landscapes and hot springs.
