〔Taiwan News〕Taiwanese buyers drive Japan condo surge
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwanese buyers are fueling a surge in Japan’s luxury condominium market as a weak yen and shifting regional wealth flows boost property demand, Nikkei Asia reported Monday. Just 20 minutes by monorail from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, the waterfront district of Tennozu has become a hotspot for luxury condominium towers overlooking Tokyo Bay and the Shinagawa transport hub. For Taiwanese realtor Lin Chia-ching (林佳慶), who operates in Tokyo, Tennozu reflects a broader surge of Taiwanese participation in Japan’s property market. He said many clients are wealthy individuals from northern Taiwan seeking second homes or overseas diversification.
Carrefour in Taiwan is rebranding its hypermarkets to “Prosperity Plaza” and supermarkets to “Uni-Prosperity” following the grocery store chain’s exit from the French Carrefour system. This leaves Costco as the only foreign brand among Taiwan’s hypermarkets. The chain told CNA that “Carrefour” can only be used until this Tuesday, June 30, when its brand licensing agreement with the French headquarters expires. Beginning this Wednesday, July 1, they are only allowed to use the new names.
