A newly constructed 10-storey luxury condominium in suburban Tokyo, developed by Sekisui House Ltd, is set to be demolished after complaints from local residents that it obstructs views of Mount Fuji. The near-complete luxury building, with apartments priced at $446,000 each, was originally marketed for its vistas of the iconic mountain. However, the development faced significant pushback from neighbors who argued that the structure spoiled the view of the 12,389-foot peak. The decision to voluntarily dismantle the building in western Tokyo comes just weeks before the apartments were due to be handed over to buyers.
