A financial analyst argues that true wealth does not make luxury high rise towers their final home, because the time wasted on commuting and the noise aren’t rational trade offs. The article spotlights GrangGreen Osaka THE NORTH RESIDENCE, a 46 story tower with 484 units that sold out quickly after launch, with some top units priced around 2.5 billion yen and a subset offering private car elevators delivering cars to the living room and a car gallery. Like overseas ultra luxury condos, these towers offer spectacular views and extensive amenities including bars, restaurants, spas, indoor pools, guest rooms, coworking spaces, and hotel style concierge services; proximity to transit hubs and major facilities boosts value. Buyers include metropolitan rich, regional wealthy, and foreign investors who use towers as second homes or investments. By 2025–26 the stock of tall towers is rising toward around 1,600.
