Aoyama-Kitamachi Apartments

The residential development contains 25 buildings with 586 apartments spread across a 40,000 square meter area in central Omotesando district.

Built between 1957 and 1968, these apartments emerged during Japan's post-war urbanization period to address the growing housing needs in Tokyo.

The buildings reflect the architectural principles of danchi housing, which introduced modern community living standards to Japanese urban populations.

The four and five-story structures operate without elevators, and some units maintain their original design without integrated bathroom facilities.

Since 2006, the complex has undergone gradual evacuation for redevelopment, with approximately half of its units currently standing empty.
