Savills Singapore has announced the launch of Sky City Osaka, a new freehold boutique bed and breakfast (B&B) investment opportunity located near Umeda, one of Osaka’s major commercial and transport centres. The development, set to be fully refurbished by TY-Properties, offers a unique chance for investors to enter Japan’s hospitality-led real estate market through a professionally managed, short-stay investment model.
Sky City Osaka, situated in Osaka’s Kita Ward, features studio to two-bedroom flats designed for short-stay guests and urban travellers. The property is strategically located within walking distance of Ōsakatemmangū and Minami-morimachi Stations, providing convenient access to Umeda and Kansai International Airport. The development is also near popular attractions such as Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street, enhancing its appeal to both domestic and international tourists.
Osaka is becoming an attractive investment destination due to strong tourism demand, limited supply of centrally located short-stay accommodation, and favourable ownership structures for foreign buyers. The city’s allure is expected to grow with the upcoming Osaka Integrated Resort, slated for completion by 2030, which is anticipated to boost international visitor arrivals and long-term accommodation demand.
Adrian Lim, Senior Director and Head of International Residential Sales at Savills Singapore, stated, “Osaka continues to benefit from robust tourism demand and a shortage of well-located short-stay accommodation.” He highlighted that Sky City Osaka offers freehold ownership, zero additional buyer’s taxes, and an accessible entry price point, making it an attractive option for Singapore-based investors.
The launch event for Sky City Osaka is scheduled for 7 and 8 February 2026 at Voco Orchard Hotel. Investors are offered freehold rights, a hassle-free ownership structure, and full management, providing a hands-off approach to overseas property ownership.
