Description

Situated a few minutes from the ski hills and based on the Danish concept of Hygge (The discovery of joy and intimacy through the appreciation of simple, fleeting moments), Koa Niseko development comprises neatly aligned 10 villas and 5 x 2-key townhouses surrounded by many newly planted trees. Each home was designed in the finest details and represents the best a lifestyle property of this size can offer.

Koa Niseko was designed with the idea of creating a new community of like-minded owners; it has arguably put Higashiyama on the map and made it the newly sought after area in Niseko for ski resort property buyers.

Project managed within Hokkaido Tracks with a 2-person team, the vision and decisiveness of the developer, as well as the competence of all project participants, allowed for the civil works and 16 buildings/ 20 units of the first phase of Koa Niseko to be designed and built in just about 2 years.

Successful negotiations with the power provider allowed the development to avoid electric poles and lines within the development for maximized views.
