Demand soars for new urban residential complexes in Japan

According to The Asahi Shimbun, demand for units in new residential complexes in certain urban areas is so great that the server for a website handling requests for condominium showings crashed due to high traffic.
For another massive housing project, the reservation slots for tours were filled within minutes.
Driving demand are the growing number of consumers seeking valuable assets at relatively affordable rates, according to experts.
On Feb. 26, an email was sent to prospective buyers of homes in the Toyomi Tower Marine and Sky complex in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward.
The email expressed an “apology over our booking form server’s crash.”
The high-rise complex, with 2,046 condominiums, is being constructed under a redevelopment program by such entities as Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co.
