2. What percent of the apartments at Roppongi Hills are now occupied?

According to the latest figures, about 90% of all residential apartments at Roppongi Hills are now occupied. Of this 90%, less than a third of the apartments are occupied by expats.

The biggest reason why “Hills” is not as popular with expats as initially expected, has to do with the fact that the average apartment in the complex is 30-40% smaller than apartments of a comparable price level in the same Roppongi-Azabu-Hiroo area.

For singles, young couples, or small families, Roppongi Hill’s lack of space may take a backseat to its unrivaled trendiness and convenience. However, for most expat families with kids, the average Roppongi Hills apartment will probably be a bit too small.

Once prices drop to a competitive level, and people can get more square feet for the buck, Roppongi Hills, with its undeniably great location and chic feel, will no doubt be one of the most popular options out there.
