The property has five above-ground floors, was completed in 1981, and has a typical floor plate of approximately 52 tsubo (approx. 1,900 sq. ft.). It is located a three-minute walk from Iidabashi Station and a five-minute walk from Suidobashi Station, adjacent to the Kanda River. The vacancy rate for office buildings in Chiyoda Ward's Iidabashi area with a typical floor plate of less than 100 tsubo had at times fallen to the 2% range in 2025, but has recently risen, reaching approximately 4.2% as of July 2026 (research by the editorial team based on estie office research).
The seller, Toshin Partners, is engaged in the planning, development, and sale of condominiums, as well as real estate sale, purchase, brokerage, and leasing. The company had acquired the property from Lim Planning in November 2023, making this a sale approximately two years and five months later.
Buyer Daiwa House Industry has its Tokyo head office in Iidabashi 3-chome. In the same district, the company is participating as a member of the Iidabashi Station East District Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project alongside Mitsubishi Estate, Mitsubishi Estate Residence, and Shimizu Corporation, planning a 26-story mixed-use complex comprising offices, housing, and retail, though the construction start and completion dates remain undecided.
