Cosmos Initia, a Daiwa House Group company, will open 'nears Akabane' (Akabane-minami, Kita-ku, Tokyo) in late July 2026. This is the fourth installment of its share residence brand, 'nears,' which is based on the concept of 'living with gentle neighbors.'
Originally built as a hotel in 2007 and later converted into a dormitory, the property has been repurposed by leveraging the building's history and character combined with Cosmos Initia's expertise in operating share residences. It offers a new way of life where residents can change their environment and how they spend their time by maximizing the use of shared floors.
■ Building Regeneration x Share Residence 'nears'
The building was previously renovated as a hotel and included features like an atrium lobby, multiple kitchen spaces, a community lounge, a theater room, and a workspace. Cosmos Initia has regenerated these common areas as places where residents can connect gently.
The project proposes a new way of living that combines the security and functionality of a peaceful solo life with the comfortable connection unique to share residences, while ensuring private space.
■ Utilizing Shared Floors
The shared floors are designed to allow residents to create their own places according to their mood, whether it's communicating with other residents or reading alone in the lounge. It also features a large kitchen, theater room, and workspace, realizing a life where residents can freely choose how to spend their time in every space.
