Good work, everyone!
This time, I’m going to analyze the prices for The Parkhouse Shinsaibashi Tower(ザ・パークハウス心斎橋タワー), which will begin Phase 1-2(1期2次) in late February.
Back in December 2024, even though I found the prices for Phase 1-1(1期1次) to be high, the lottery competition was strong, and I was surprised at how popular a newly built condominium in the Shinsaibashi area was after such a long time. Now, in the blink of an eye, it’s lottery time again!
Unfortunately, I missed out in the previous lottery, and I’m honestly debating whether to apply this time. Looking at the prices for this Phase 1-2(1期2次), there are floors that have been significantly marked up from the previous phase, while other floors have remained almost the same price. I believe there are units that previous lottery losers can still target.
Let’s jump into the price analysis right away!!

目次
Phase 1-2(1期2次) Sales Prices
- Lowest price per tsubo: 494万円 per tsubo (West-facing middle, 10th floor)
- Highest price per tsubo: 1,288万円 per tsubo (Southwest corner, 31st floor)
- Maximum price difference from Phase 1-1(1期1次) on almost the same floor: + about 34.1 million yen
- Floors around the 10th floor (low floors): Prices almost unchanged or increased up to about 900,000 yen
- Floors around the 20th floor (middle floors): Large increases of 1–3.4 million yen
- Floors above the 26th floor (Royal Floor high floors): Almost unchanged to a large increase of up to 4 million yen
Recently, not only newly built condos but also pre-owned condos have seen bigger price hikes for floors with unobstructed views (like “middle floors and above” or “corner units”) compared to lower floors.
Since you can’t really expect a view around the 10th floor, the price increase for these lower floors ranges from none to a few million yen, which might actually be fairly reasonable pricing if you consider the recent huge price surges in new condos.
In Phase 1-1(1期1次), the northwest corner was cheap, and this time on the 10th floor it’s almost the same price as the 11th floor last time, so I can continue to recommend it to those who prioritize location over views.
For the 10th-floor units, some plans are almost unchanged from Phase 1-1(1期1次), so I expect a lot of potential buyers among those who lost out in the previous lottery.
Prices really shoot up above the 20th floor, don’t they? (lol)
For the northwest corner G-63F plan, if you compare the 21st floor from Phase 1-1(1期1次) to the 20th floor in this phase, it’s about a 34 million yen increase…
(How many years of a salaried worker’s net annual income is that increase?!)
If you are buying in the Shinsaibashi area for your own use, it might be okay, but once you exceed 7.7 million yen per tsubo, you could potentially buy certain units at Brillia Tower Dojima(ブリリアタワー堂島) at that price range, so from an investment standpoint, it feels less attractive than before.
On the other hand, even on the 20th floor, the 3LDK units that initially exceeded 10 million yen per tsubo did go to lottery in Phase 1-1(1期1次), but with fewer applicants than other units. As a result, the rate of increase is milder (still a 10 million yen increase, though…).
A few years ago, it was standard for 1LDK units to have a higher price per tsubo, but lately, more tower apartments have set higher prices per tsubo for 3LDK or larger units.
The Parkhouse Shinsaibashi Tower(ザ・パークハウス心斎橋タワー) is a prime example of this trend.
Since larger units like 3LDK are often placed in corner sections, their value naturally tends to increase, but a price gap of this scale would have been unimaginable a few years ago.
(For pre-owned condos, there are still some 3LDK or corner units without high price-per-tsubo, so those might be good targets to consider.)
Summary
If you plan to rent it out, lower floors with smaller price hikes typically yield higher returns than the middle floors or above that have seen significant markups. However, if you’re aiming for capital gains upon resale, middle floors and above—offering a higher degree of satisfaction while you live there and potentially higher resale prices—could also have more upside.Given the ongoing surge in new condo prices, this is a point in time where we need to be very cautious about how much further upside we can really expect.
Beyond the property itself, whether a particular unit has “added value” or if it is a “special unit” within the building greatly affects resale potential. Especially if you’re buying for investment or half-living/half-investment with the possibility of moving in a few years, keep this in mind.
Many overseas buyers purchased at The Parkhouse Shinsaibashi Tower(ザ・パークハウス心斎橋タワー) in Phase 1-1(1期1次), and there are many investment buyers as well.
When it eventually hits the resale market,
“Who would buy this property?”
“Will there be genuine local end-users who want to buy it?”
are important questions to ask.
No matter how popular it is when new, if there’s no buyer base on the resale market, you’ll obviously struggle to sell later. So,
“If you buy any newly built tower condo, you’ll profit! Let’s apply for now!!”
might be a bit risky, as there are some units (in terms of floor plans, prices, floor levels, etc.) that warrant careful consideration.
(I’ve heard that, after Grand Green Osaka’s lottery, there were a few successful applicants who couldn’t even remember which unit they applied for… “Which unit did I win?”)
That aside, ever since sales for The Parkhouse Shinsaibashi Tower(ザ・パークハウス心斎橋タワー) began, more units in Laurel Tower Shinsaibashi(ローレルタワー心斎橋) have been hitting the resale market.
Similarly, since Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田) launched around the same time, there has been an uptick in listings for Park Tower Umeda(パークタワー梅田) as well.
And the number of deals closed is also increasing.
It feels like a waste to keep missing out on lotteries for popular new condos, so it’s wise these days to simultaneously consider nearby pre-owned tower condos. Ideally, the best strategy is to buy a nearby pre-owned property before the new tower condo officially goes on sale—maybe even before their official website is up—because prices can be more favorable at that stage (also, prices tend to be lower in the pre-planning phase of a redevelopment rather than after concrete details are announced).
*Of course, there are times when great deals on pre-owned units still pop up even after a new condo project begins sales, so be sure to keep an eye out for those!
Also take a look at the 2025 new condos & redevelopment timeline!
Stay tuned for the next installment!!
