Hello!This time, I’m going to analyze the prices for the first phase of sales at Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田).
I actually applied for a high-floor southeast corner unit during the under-sales period in January and was unsuccessful, but now that general sales are finally starting, I visited the model room again. (Even if you visited the model room during under-sales, you must visit it once more for the first phase.)
During the under-sales period, I thought the initial applications might be low, but it turned out the highest lottery ratio was 56 to 1. However, popularity varied greatly among different units, so I wonder how that will affect this first phase’s pricing… During under-sales, I heard, “We don’t plan to raise prices for the general sale,” but let’s see if that holds true…
By the way, reservations for the phase 1 model room visits have already started, and it’s extremely competitive. It’s been difficult even to get a reservation… The popularity of new high-rise condominiums is truly amazing…
For this phase 1, they will hold the phase 1 guidance from February 22 to March 25, 2025, and begin sales in mid-April. It seems they’re quite strict about registration requirements this time—no accompanying friends (family is okay)—which makes me feel competition for new condominiums is getting fiercer and fiercer…
Previously, I visited model rooms together with Osaka Tower (a friend), and he pretended to be a novice, saying things like, “What’s floor heating? A dishwasher?! New condos are amazing!” But I suspect those casual model-room visits might not be possible anymore, which feels a bit sad.
Anyway, I’ve gone on long enough—let’s jump into the price analysis!

Phase 1 Sales Prices
Superior Floor (Floors 4–30)
Let’s jump right in and look at the price list for the 4th through 30th floors, called the Superior Floor!Given that I get many individual inquiries about this property, I’ll focus on price analysis rather than on recommended units.
Compared to under-sales prices:
“Most units didn’t see a price increase, and some even went down!”
That’s the situation.
■ Units that got cheaper
Specifically, when comparing under-sales and phase 1 prices (usually a difference of two floors), there are units that are more than 2 million yen cheaper than under-sales for just two floors down. For floors or directions with minimal view differences, you might feel it’s more affordable now.
Notably, the 21st-floor southeast corner is about 10 million yen cheaper than the 23rd floor. That’s because the view opens up around the 23rd floor above Kitano Hospital on the south side, and at the 21st floor you’d see the rooftop area. Even so, it’s surprising that they’d lower it by 10 million yen. (The southeast corner was also popular during under-sales.)
■ Units that got more expensive
On the other hand, two units in the Superior Floor that have gone way up in price are the 28th-floor southeast corner and northwest corner. The 28th-floor southeast corner increased by about 130 million yen, and the 28th-floor northwest corner near the Sky Lounge went up about 100 million yen!
I’ve seen new condos increase by as much as 60 million yen before, but jumping by more than 100 million yen at once is extremely rare and quite bold. However, these units are around 100 sqm and were popular in the under-sales phase.
Still, this is quite a hike… (I applied for that corner unit during under-sales, but with this price increase, I definitely can’t apply again…)
Previously, for 100 sqm or larger units, looking at properties under 10 years old on SUUMO or at home typically starts around 250 million yen, so it’s no surprise that the northwest and southeast corners were highly sought after during under-sales. But I’m curious how many applications they’ll get for a Superior Floor unit priced at 300 million yen in phase 1.
Below is the price table for the Superior Floor.

Premium Floor (Floors 31–35) / Shinra Suite (Floors 36–38)
Next, let’s look at the price list for floors 31 and above.■ Units that got more expensive
Similar to the 28th floor, the southeast and northwest corners are up by around 100 million yen. They were already popular, but with a price per tsubo (3.3 sqm) of over 1,100 million yen, I’m not sure how many applications they’ll receive. It’s certainly aggressive.
Meanwhile, Park Tower Osaka Dojimahama(パークタワー大阪堂島浜) is currently in its Phase 2-1 sales with applications closing on March 7, offering a 35th-floor middle unit (90 sqm) above the hotel for 280 million yen (about 1,020 million yen per tsubo). By comparison, this Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田) corner unit is even higher, making Park Tower Osaka Dojimahama(パークタワー大阪堂島浜) look somewhat cheaper. (Of course, I don’t mean it’s actually cheap, just that it looks that way in comparison.)
■ Units that got cheaper
Previously, even at under-sales, the Premium Floor and above started at about 800 million yen per tsubo, so they were already quite expensive. But now moving just two floors down yields a significantly lower price. In higher floors, the price gap tends to get larger by floor, but it’s not uncommon to see a 7–10 million yen decrease for just two floors down, so for those who can afford it, it’s a good deal.
For the southwest corner, Park Tower Umeda(パークタワー梅田) is a 31-story building, so the view from the 35th floor is better than from the 33rd floor by enough of a margin that some might pay that extra 10 million yen. But for other directions, two floors aren’t usually a big difference in view, so the 33rd floor’s price is cheaper than under-sales, which is good.
For the top Shinra Suite floors (36+): dropping from the 37th floor to the 36th floor—just one floor—lowers the price by about 40 million yen, a major discount!! (Incidentally, the 37th-floor S-C type is still at its under-sales price and remains unsold.)
Cielia Tower Nakanoshima(シエリアタワー中之島) saw a 100 million yen increase per floor near the top, but at Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田), the top floors have actually dropped in price.
I’d heard before that “When it exceeds 300 million yen in Osaka, sales can slow down,” which seems reflected in this new first-phase pricing… (Although for those super-high-end units above 1 billion yen, ironically, there are sometimes buyers. But in the 300–500 million yen range, demand can be sluggish.)
Until now, new high-rise condos often rose by tens of millions of yen in later phases if you bought early in phase 1. I never imagined we’d see a property that becomes cheaper in the official first phase compared to the under-sales price…
Of course, buying early also gives you first pick of good units, but seeing them price some units cheaper than under-sales is surprising. You might wonder, “Why bother with under-sales…?”

Summary
Recently, at Cielia Tower Nakanoshima(シエリアタワー中之島), some units also saw price drops, so it feels like the era of nonstop price hikes for new high-rise condos might be coming to a turning point.That doesn’t mean a crash, but it seems buyers’ budgets aren’t keeping up with repeated huge hikes. I believe price increases for both new and used condos will be more modest compared to the dramatic leaps we’ve seen. (Still, for extremely popular high-rises, redevelopment areas, and places expecting future luxury projects, prices may continue rising—so choosing the right area and project is more crucial than ever!)
Additionally, Brillia Tower Dojima(ブリリアタワー堂島) overpriced its lower floors and has been struggling to sell, which presumably affected Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田) as well, prompting a strategy to sell out before completion rather than keep raising prices and sell post-completion.
As for Branz Tower Osaka Umeda(ブランズタワー大阪梅田), phase 1 is priced more affordably than under-sales for most units, so I think this isn’t a property meant for buying multiple units as an investor, but it’s a good pick if you want to live there and also partially invest. (There are a few units that could work purely as an investment as well.)
Meanwhile, among the surrounding used condos, Park Tower Umeda(パークタワー梅田) and City Tower Higashi-Umeda Park Front(シティタワー東梅田パークフロント) might still have room for further price growth. Being in the same school district, they might still be good or recommended picks, so consider them in parallel. (City Tower Umeda Higashi(シティタワー梅田東) surged in 2024, ending its lower-price window.)
That’s it for now—stay tuned for my next post!!
