In Japanwhere so many apartments are not much bigger than the cabin of a Bentleyit probably doesn’t make sense that Aston Martin plans to build a luxury home with a view of Tokyo.
Of course, the house, designed as it will be by Aston Martin artists, will feature an automotive gallery. And after parking his car, he can enjoy the wine cellar, home theater, gym and private spa.
The four-storey property, which has already been sold (price not disclosed) and due for completion in around a year, is the British brand’s first collaboration with homebuilders in Asia, but it’s not the first time that Aston is embarking on projects other than the automobile. .
In 2018, the company launched a motor boat, the AM37, a $1.6 million toy that is the result of two years of research and development. Supposedly designed with proportions similar to those Aston applies to its vehicles, the AM37S top trim level makes around 50 knots derived from its 520 horsepower twin. Mercury gasoline engines. Aston Martin even entered the personal luxury submarine game.
Aston has also partnered to build a 6,000 square foot “home” called forest rock in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York at a cost of $7.7 million and is collaborating on the construction of a 66-story skyscraper condominium in miami. Maximum price for one unit: $50 million. But the view is very pretty.
For the so-called “holistic” extravaganza near Tokyo, Marek Reichman, Aston’s Executive Vice-Chairman, said: “The influence of Tokyo culture, with its amazing history and style, occupies a significant creative space within of our design studio. I see fashion, architectural and even culinary references being taken into account by our team. Japanese luxury real estate development company VIBROA is working with Aston Martin on the project, with the aim of expanding the presence of the automaker in Asia.
