Investment Information
The Niseko Powerhouse offers excellent investment returns located in a high-performing property market but with real estate still at bargain prices compared to other world-class ski-resorts.
Niseko is fast being discovered by international tourists, whose numbers have grown seven-fold since 2001.1 The transformation of the resort into the summer and winter playground for nearby Asian countries is a golden investment opportunity to earn recurrent income and potential capital gains.
The 1.5 million visitors in winter and the same again in the spring-summer-autumn period provide excellent year-round occupancy rates and returns.
Niseko basked in the world spotlight in July 2008 when the G8 Summit washeld in nearby Lake Toya. The summit is just a 45 minute drive from Niseko so the area and its opportunities received massive publicity.
“In the past year, Australian skiers heading to Japan have turned into a snow rush. The Japan National Tourist Office in Sydney says numbers have jumped 30 percent over the previous season.”
Perth Sunday Times, December 2007
Niseko’s property market offers excellent capital growth with price rises of 38% in 2007 and 33% in 2006.2 Surging demand from international tourists, combined with world-class property management and maintenance services provide net anticipated rental returns of 7% per annum.3
Niseko Powerhouse is an opportunity to participate in these profits.
Japanese yen finance at interest rates as low as 3% are available to investors who qualify.
Save as you build: on the Niseko Powerhouse project, no developer fees are charged. Investors buy off the plan, direct from the construction companies in the RidgeRunner group.
“The Niseko area continues to enjoy remarkable growth. Investment returns have been incredible in recent years, with further capital growth expected. Niseko is clearly a world-class ski location, with its real estate still a fraction of the price of comparable international destinations.”
