Daiichi Realtor Acquires Building Near Akihabara Station, Tokyo

In April 2025, Daiichi Realtor Co., Ltd. acquired the "Hoyou Akihabara Building" located in Taito 1-chome, Taito-ku, Tokyo, from Yoshikuni Co., Ltd., based in Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

The property is situated in a prime location just a 3-minute walk from JR Yamanote Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line's Akihabara Station, and a 6-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line's Suehirocho Station. While just a few blocks east of Showa-dori Avenue, the area maintains a calm atmosphere despite its proximity to the station. Surrounded by small to mid-sized office buildings, retail stores, and restaurants, the location attracts strong tenant demand, particularly from IT companies and professional services firms.

Completed in October 1965, the reinforced concrete structure stands 8 stories above ground and offers approximately 615 tsubo (approx. 20,330 sq. ft.) of gross floor area, with each floor spanning roughly 69 tsubo (approx. 2,280 sq. ft.). While Daiichi Realtor has not disclosed post-acquisition plans, the building’s age and location suggest a high likelihood of redevelopment, potentially for an inbound-focused hotel project.
