Hello!The Expo opened on April 13th! Have you been to the Expo yet?
I was deeply moved to be present on the opening day as I had been involved in the Expo project for several years. (Although the weather was terrible for the first few days…)
The large roof ring, numerous attractive pavilions that you can’t fully explore even in a week, daily events, etc., all leave an impression even if you don’t enter the pavilions. I think all the mansion enthusiasts will have fun!
Please do visit the Expo!
This past month has been quite busy, but reflecting on it as probably the last time I’ll be involved with the Expo in my career, it was fulfilling… However, my activities for the mansion blog have stalled, so from now on, I wish to get back to my usual pace with regular posts.
Thank you all for your continued support!


Well then, this time I would like to visit the model room & price consideration of City Tower Furukawabashi (シティタワー古川橋).
In the Kadoma area, it reminds us of Park Homes LaLa Kadoma (パークホームズLaLa門真), completed in 2023. Despite being an inexpensive suburban slab-type mansion during its first sale in 2022, it was a popular property with a maximum multiplier of 17 times and sold out quickly.
Even though there was an initial struggle selling a 3LDK for less than 40 million yen, with the recent surge in mansion prices, all the affordable rooms have been sold, and now the remaining pre-owned properties start at 50 million yen. (Excluding first-floor units)
I received DMs from a few residents there, and they seem very satisfied with the direct connection to Outlet, LaLaport, and Costco, so congratulations to those who purchased it.

Now, regarding City Tower Furukawabashi (シティタワー古川橋), information dissemination began last fall, and after attending two online briefings, I visited the model room. After observing this for quite some time, the first sales are expected to commence in late May. (During my previous visit, the sales were scheduled to start in late April, but the commencement has been delayed bit by bit…)
Without further ado, let’s dive into the main content!

Summary
Lowest price for newly-built tower mansions in Osaka! Not expected to appreciate in resale value, but attractive for long-term residential purchase!Highlights
- The lowest priced newly-built tower mansion in Osaka Prefecture
- The area is revitalized through redevelopment, becoming new and attractive
- A wide range of communal facilities befitting a large-scale tower mansion
- A library and childcare support facilities adjacent to the mansion
- There are about four supermarkets within a 10-minute walk, which is convenient for everyday shopping
Disappointments
- Being the most expensive property in Kadoma City area, it’s challenging as an asset perspective
- Prices have already been drastically reduced by over 10 million yen
- The nearest station, Keihan Furukawabashi, mainly serves local trains, requiring a transfer to reach Osaka station
Design
The design is fundamentally a simple tower mansion, but with 41 stories and 648 units, it looks set to be a landmark tower mansion. City Towers in Osaka City often have few balconies and employ direct windows, but City Tower Furukawabashi has no direct windows and all rooms, including corner rooms, come with balconies.While the view aspect is inferior to direct windows, the broader use of the balcony and easier laundry drying are advantageous. Thus, regionally this appears more user-friendly.

Beyond the grand entrance is a 2,000 square-meter open space called Kusunoki Plaza, providing a safe area for families with small children to walk and play.

The entrance, in typical Sumitomo Realty fashion, is simple but built with a sense of dignity.

Additionally, a facility named ASMACI Furukawabashi is planned to open in 2026 adjacent to City Tower Furukawabashi, which will be a multi-purpose facility targeting medical and childcare support solutions to community issues.
Furthermore, the lifelong learning complex “KADOMADO” is scheduled to open in spring 2026 nearby, including a library. It will be managed by Culture Convenience Club, known for Tsutaya and Tsutaya Bookstore, so expectations are high.
Recently, new tower mansions with adjacent libraries have been increasing, and
- Geo Tower Osaka Juso (ジオタワー大阪十三; details on the blog)
- Brillia Tower Minoh Senba (ブリリアタワー箕面船場; details on the blog)


The grand entrance.
If someone sees it and thinks “It’s City Tower!”—that person truly is an aficionado. The entrance, with its two-layer atrium and sense of openness, is indeed impressive.
The glass panel faces east, providing a view of the Kusunoki Plaza, which promises a lovely, sunlit space in the morning.


The communal facilities are extensive as expected in a large-scale tower mansion.
- Basement 1: Studio (with soundproofing for musical instruments)
- 1st Floor: Kids Park (also open to the community, might get quite crowded?)
- 2nd Floor: Telework Corner
- 3rd Floor: Party Room Fitness Room 2 Guest Rooms Telework Lounge
- 30th Floor: Sky Lounge

The telework lounge on the 3rd floor. Although it’s an open space, there’s also a telework corner on the 2nd floor, allowing for flexible usage depending on your mood of the day.
However, having two telework spaces within the same mansion seems quite luxurious or perhaps designed accounting for a growing population likely to work from home in this area…
On a different note, some consultants might have to report to office five days a week starting from June, indicating a societal shift towards office work again.
While I’ve been going to the office more than before, it’s still about half the week, and I feel privileged to have mornings working from home—creating documents or joining online meetings with clients—then heading to the office for face-to-face meetings and coffee breaks with team members.
Should remote work become non-permissible altogether…

With no tall buildings surrounding it, the view is expected to be quite extraordinary. It’s located at the southwest corner.
The design with round chairs around the central round pillar looks impressive.
However, one concern is that the balcony is not made of clear glass, so while seated on the sofa, one might not be able to enjoy the scenery to a great extent.

Price
- Revised price: Average floor unit price of 3.2 million yen per tsubo
- 3LDK lowest price: 58 million yen range (285,000 yen per tsubo~)※ east-facing 14th floor

City Tower Furukawabashi has been conducting prior information sessions since around autumn of 2024, albeit with no price information in the first online briefing and indicative pricing only surfacing in the second, where the average price per tsubo, including upper floors, was around 3.8 million yen. Nonetheless, perhaps due to the rate of engagement, a notable price revision was made, with rooms displaying an over 10-million-yen cut in planned pricing—surprising.
Indeed, a 3LDK priced predominantly at around 70 million yen in the Furukawabashi area was projected by late 2024, yet I considered it pricey and mentioned an over 10-million-yen discrepancy in the survey responses. Never envisioned that the price would drop this much…
Considering the 14th floor’s east-facing 3LDK lowest price of 58 million yen, although it remains costly for the area, upon viewing it within the entire Osaka expanse, a new tower mansion falling below 300,000 yen per tsubo feels inexpensive. Questions surrounding rising building costs and labor salaries in recent years indeed arise as some rooms remain cheap.
Of course, it depends on suitability regionally and preferences; even were the price reduced, this isn’t a resale value-increasing area like Osaka City Tower Mansions, so it’s not recommended for investment or resale purposes, but, if you’re looking to live for personal need in a newly-built major tower mansion within a redevelopment zone, this might be a good property.
While direct train access to Osaka station isn’t possible, about 30-minute access, combined with the proximity to a station, makes for not a bad alternative. (This pricing tier for new tower mansions may indeed entice interest…)
Despite the substantial cost revival, there seems to be ongoing difficulty, with Phase 1 initially planned for late April now shifting to a late May commencement.
The feeling of missteps in sales strategies persists—initial pricing launched at high levels rather than revising first, informative sessions accompanying trusted early viewings provided little beyond website content, with prices conspicuously absent as initial queries geared towards gauging interest rather than providing substantive materials. Consequently, I feel a bit let down without learning much…
Were this revised pricing initially present, it may have garnered marked attention. As years progress, accompanying project responsibilities rise alongside positional advancements in companies, coinciding with reduced personal time on weekends due to increasing children-related responsibilities, resulting in limited opportunities to visit model rooms and potential disappointment from inadequate information dissemination. (However, if it were for Gran Green Osaka THE South RESIDENCE, I’d certainly be thrilled to visit)
Nevertheless, I am curious about the outcome of Phase 1 sales at this price point!
Running Costs
- Management Fee & Reserve Fund: 648 yen per square meter
- For L3 Type with 67.71 square meters: 43,860 yen
648 yen per square meter is indeed quite high. Gran Green Osaka THE NORTH RESIDENCE (グラングリーン大阪 THE NORTH RESIDENCE) has a fee of 550 yen per square meter. Simultaneously on sale, Premist Tower Senrioka (プレミストタワー千里丘) asks for 456 yen per square meter.
Compared with other towers, the fee is indeed high…
Moreover, Celia Tower Nakano Island (シエリアタワー中之島) has an inclusive rate (management fee & reserve fund with continuous leasehold disassembly preparedness and land rent) of 673 yen per square meter – approximately the same. (Geo Tower Osaka Juso (ジオタワー大阪十三) costs 654 yen per square meter, inclusive of land rent, etc.)
Yes, shared facilities are abundant, but considering the vast number of units, a scale advantage should manifest, yet could it be a sign of these times, inflated labor costs, and all…?
Sure, here is the translated text:

The sales prices have been thoroughly reviewed, but for a tower mansion mainly targeting actual user needs, the running costs are considerably burdensome. For those considering it as an investment, these costs also weigh heavily on the returns.
If these are definitive, it’s advisable to not just think about the loan repayment amount but also to carefully consider the management fees and reserve fund contributions when devising a financial plan.
Conclusion
I visit Lalaport & Outlet in Kadoma several times a year, and seeing places like Park Homes LaLa Kadoma (パークホームズLaLa門真), I do think redeveloped area mansions have a certain appeal.It’s not only about the mansion itself but also the improvement of roads, the establishment of new commercial and cultural learning facilities, which altogether rejuvenate the town, adding high additional value.
Although the area might not be highly evaluated at this point, once completed, it becomes a new town, likely leading many visitors to think, “This mansion is great!”
In regard to Gran Green Osaka and events like the Osaka Kansai Expo, knowing the outcome but still unable to imagine until realization is common. There’s often a change in perception upon completion, so for those interested in City Tower Furukawabashi (シティタワー古川橋), I recommend requesting materials and visiting the model room.
Moreover, if you’re considering a new tower mansion but find them priced too high and out of reach, and are searching below a 70 million yen budget, while the area might not be your desired choice, expanding your search could reveal attainable options. This is definitely a mansion I’d like those individuals to consider. (However, a fund plan considering running costs is crucial.)
