THE RESORT PROSPECT

Attractive returns await investors in a new hotel-condominium development in Niseko, Japan.

With a long-held reputation as Asia’s premier year-round resort hub, Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan draws international tourists with an array of attractions — from pristine outdoors in summer to powder-snow-covered slopes in winter. This reputation remains undiminished; whatever nature and culture provide in abundance are being augmented by excellent public infrastructure, service facilities, and a range of luxury accommodations and leisure establishments.

Hong Kong SAR-based developer New World La Plume Niseko Resort TMK is developing a new hotel-condominium New World La Plume Niseko Resort. The expansive development, slated to open in Winter 2023, will offer

219 guest rooms and 5 private villas, along with a range of amenities. The architecture, envisioned to preserve and promote the local environment, is by Daiken Design Co., and interiors by S.D.S. International Co. New World Hotels & Resorts (Rosewood Hotel Group) has been appointed to manage the development.

Guests and owners can take in the views of Mt. Yotei in the hotel-condominium’s 25-m sky pool — Niseko’s first. Alongside this, they can also enjoy the gym, outdoor onsen, in-room hot spring baths, sauna, spa and massage center, ski lockers, game rooms, and children’s play facilities. They can indulge in Japanese and Northern Chinese cuisines — known for their winter comfort delicacies — and unwind in the lounge, cocktail bar, and an outdoor terrace where they can also dine.

Renowned establishments, from top hotels to fine restaurants, have established a presence in Niseko, a testament to the place’s steady appeal to top quality holidaymakers. In turn, it has served to strengthen the property value in select parts of Niseko. And with its bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, Niseko is set to remain an attractive hive for hospitality investment.

New World La Plume Niseko Resort is a boon to buyers who are looking for a sustainable investment. An outstanding team consisting of leading Japanese architecture, construction and interior design firms, has been assembled to undertake the development — ensuring its future as a leading destination for travelers worldwide. The new development will introduce the first guaranteed rental program in Niseko—via a scheme that will provide owners a 5 per cent gross yield of the purchase price for the first three years. Owners will also enjoy 28 days of free stay per year (14 days in summer/winter each).

Freehold studios as well as 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units, and 5 exclusive villas are available starting from SGD 800K. Group and bulk purchases are welcome.

The developers of the project are currently offering an early promotion. Prospective buyers can be booked with just 10 per cent down payment, with the remaining 90 per cent payable upon completion of the project construction. Bank loans are available from Tokyo Star Bank for qualified applicants. HJ Real Estate is the official sales and marketing representative of New World La Plume Niseko Resort.
