【Real estate investors should better not overlook Japan’s second city】 Experienced Japan real estate investors are looking beyond Tokyo. One good reason: Osaka, Japan’s second largest metropolitan has been emerging from the national capital’s shadow. Now, a new urban development provides Osaka with a big symbol of its comeback push. On Friday, the city officially opened Grand Green Osaka, a sprawling redevelopment that combines a park with mixed-use skyscrapers to transform the very center of the metropolis. A public-private consortium of developers led by Mitsubishi Estate spent 1 trillion yen (6.3 billion euro) for construction. They turned a disused former freight yard into an urban oasis. “Grand Green Osaka includes a Japanese development’s typical components: buildings that house restaurants, trendy cafes and office space; luxury hotels, including Japan’s first Waldorf Astoria (opening in 2025); co-working spaces aimed at attracting start-ups; expensive apartments with killer views,” writes Bloomberg. But its main upgrade for Osaka comes through the nearly 5 hectares of a green public park. The reasoning is simple, according to Tadao Ando, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect and Osaka native who has been involved in the redevelopment. “Osaka is lacking in greenery,” he told a crowd assembled for an opening ceremony last week. The correction of this deficiency will help increasing the value of real estate in Central Osaka. https://lnkd.in/gfwCUpS2

Compact Cities and Real Estate Development Profitability?!!!!! Compact Cities initiatives focus on creating urban areas that are dense, mixed-use, and well-connected by public transportation. These initiatives aim to promote sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Let’s explore how these initiatives impact the profitability of real estate developments: 1- High Density: Encourages efficient land use and reduces urban sprawl. 2- Mixed-Use Development: Combines residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. 3- Public Transportation: Enhances connectivity and reduces reliance on private vehicles. 4- Green Spaces: Integrates parks and recreational areas within urban settings. 5- Walkability: Promotes pedestrian-friendly environments. Impact on Real Estate Development Profitability 1- Increased Property Values: High-density and mixed-use developments often lead to higher property values due to the convenience and amenities they offer. 2- Higher Rental Yields: Properties in compact cities can command higher rents due to their desirable locations and accessibility. 3- Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Efficient land use and public transportation reduce the need for extensive infrastructure, lowering development costs. 4- Sustainability Premium: Eco-friendly buildings and sustainable practices attract environmentally conscious investors and tenants, potentially leading to higher returns. 5- Enhanced Livability: Improved quality of life through better amenities and reduced commute times can make properties more attractive to buyers and renters. Case Study: Gothenburg and Helsingborg, Sweden In Gothenburg and Helsingborg, compact city planning has been implemented to balance sustainability goals with economic development. These cities have focused on high-density, mixed-use developments, sustainable transportation, and green spaces. The result has been increased property values and higher rental yields, demonstrating the economic benefits of compact city initiatives #realestate #development #conpactcity #propertyappreciation #highdensity #publictransportation #walkability #pedestrianfriendly

Singapore is renowned as one of the best-designed cities globally, yet even its urban planner, Liu Thai Ker, has two key regrets: not including bicycle paths and preserving squatter settlements. In today’s context, Professor Thomas Schroepfer from SUTD’s Architecture and Sustainable Design weighs in on the potential benefits of integrating more bicycle paths into our urban landscape: “Creating bicycle paths is crucial for sustainable cities and would benefit Singapore by reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and improving public health through increased physical activity,” says Professor Schroepfer. What do you think? Could Singapore’s future lie in more cycling-friendly infrastructure? #SUTD #SustainableCities #UrbanPlanning #Cycling #Singapore #Architecture #PublicHealth #Sustainability
