The Sankei Building Completes “LEFOND PROGRÈS Shimmachi” Rental Residence in Osaka

The Sankei Building has completed LEFOND PROGRÈS Shimmachi, a new rental residence in Osaka’s Nishi Ward. The property adds to the company’s “LEFOND PROGRÈS” series, positioned in an area that offers both convenient urban access and a calm residential environment.

The building is a reinforced concrete structure, B1/13F above ground, with 24 units, located a three-minute walk from Osaka Metro Nishinagahori Station and four minutes from Awaza Station. Units are primarily 1LDK+S layouts in the 40㎡ range (approx. 430 sq. ft.) and 2LDK layouts in the 50㎡ range (approx. 538 sq. ft.), all designed as corner units. Plans emphasize generous storage such as SICs and WICs, along with a counter kitchen. Security features include double-layer access control at the entrance and elevator hall, as well as installation of the BISTA disaster-preparedness station.

“LEFOND PROGRÈS” targets the diverse lifestyles of singles and DINKs living in central urban locations, with a concept centered on “evolution.” Flexible spatial planning and privacy-enhancing interior corridor layouts—hallmarks of the series—are incorporated into this property as well.

The Shimmachi area benefits from access to multiple transit lines, providing strong connectivity to Shinsaibashi and Umeda, while also offering a comfortable living environment with nearby parks such as Utsubo Park and a variety of local retail amenities. While the neighborhood’s rental stock is dominated by compact 20–30㎡ units, this property supplies 40–50㎡ units to capture medium- to long-term demand from singles to DINKs.
