I’d guess they’d go for about $150,000 a piece if you built blocks of them. The lower unit is probably cheaper without the rooftop access.

And yes, this is the future of home ownership here, not single detached living.

Got a note back from the IG creator. Rents for about $850 a month and is just north of downtown Tokyo.

    Ahh, I see. Fill in the books and crannies already there, not to build on full lots side by side.

      Ya, I think high rises or at least low rises are a better use of full lots, though I do see the unit sizes being much smaller, probably studio size for 2 people.

      If these can be used as space fillers, that’s a good use of them. People who can afford single detached dwellings could use them as mortgage helpers, which is pretty much required right now.
