＃Eecon7　Luxury rental apartments are increasing in Fukuoka City

 ～There are rent prices exceeding 1 million yen. ～



In the center of Fukuoka City, high-end rental housing with monthly rents in the hundreds of thousands of yen is on the rise. Targeting high-income corporate executives and wealthy individuals, properties that exceed 1 million yen per month have also emerged. While the entry of developers stands out against the backdrop of urban growth, there are some areas where even completed projects struggle to achieve full occupancy. Will the market continue to expand? Industry interest in future trends is increasing.

In Fukuoka, the development of condominiums targeting the wealthy has been progressing, but the increase in rental properties has been observed only in the past few years. Many of the tenants are executives from major companies assigned to Fukuoka or business owners. Some use it as a second home. With strong corporate performance and other factors, it is believed that there is a certain number of individuals who can afford to pay high rents.


I have no connection to luxury housing, but I thought it was an interesting news piece in understanding the economy. As someone who lives alone and rents an apartment, I feel that luxury housing is an unattainable concept.

    I think there are only a limited number of people who can afford such high rents, so I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

  ～450g of mayonnaise is 559 yen～ Kewpie announced on the 26th that it will raise prices of a total of 118 items, including mayonnaise and dressings, by approximately 4 to 18%. This is due to rising costs of raw materials like chicken eggs, packaging costs, processing costs, and labor costs, making it difficult to absorb the increased costs through their own efforts. Mayonnaise products are subject to 30 items, and for a 450-gram product, the reference retail price will rise from 520 yen to 559 yen including tax. Dressing products include 27 items, while food for nursing care includes 52 items. Seasonings and ingredient foods will see price increases starting from shipments on September 1, and foods for nursing care will see increases starting from shipments on October 1. The Kewpie products I buy are not just mayonnaise, but also dressings, so as someone living alone, the price increase is very tough. I sincerely hope that the financial situation will improve, and the prices will ...
