东京——东京23个区之一的千代田区将要求即将启动的住宅项目禁止单元在五年内转售，此举是对房价飙升的回应。
TOKYO -- One of Tokyo's 23 wards will ask an upcoming condominium project to prohibit the resale of units for five years, a move taken in response to surging property values.
千代田区将向一项将把约100套住宅单元的规模翻倍的再开发项目发出请求。由三菱地所住宅主导的财团预计工作将于2030年开始，完工时间定在2036年。
Chiyoda Ward will issue a request to a redevelopment project that will approximately double the size of a roughly 100-unit condo complex. A consortium led by Mitsubishi Estate Residence expects work to begin in 2030, with completion set for 2036.
住宅买家需要同意一项条款，承诺在五年内不转售其单元。千代田区还要求禁止以同一名义购买多套单元。
Condo purchasers would need to agree to a clause pledging not to resell their units for a five-year period. Chiyoda is also calling for a ban against purchasing multiple units under the same name.
这份正式请求尚无法律效力，预计最早将在周二发出。这将是首次对单个项目提出此类请求。
The formal request, which has no legal force, is expected to be issued Tuesday at the earliest. This will be the first time an individual project has been subject to such a request.
东京的住宅价值已飙升。根据东京房地产经济研究所的数据，东京23个区新建住宅单元的平均价格在四月至九月期间为1.7925亿日元（约114万美元），比2025年同期上涨34.7%。
Condo values have soared in Tokyo. The average price of a newly built unit in the capital's 23 wards stood at 179.25 million yen ($1.14 million) during the April-September period, according to the Tokyo-based Real Estate Economic Institute, up 34.7% from the same period in 2025.
在23个区中，千代田区的五年内或更少时间的二手住宅转售率最高，东京观测数据表明，去年该比率达到4.92%。
Among the 23 wards, Chiyoda had the highest rate of resales of condos that are five years old or less, according to real estate databank Tokyo Kantei. The rate hit 4.92% last year.
千代田区官员表示，新住宅价格的飙升正在溢及二手房和租赁房价格，导致有孩子的家庭被迫放弃住所。批评者还声称，意图转售的住宅买家实际上并未居住在这些物业中。
Chiyoda officials say the spike in new condo values is spilling over into the prices of secondhand properties and rental properties, leading to cases where families with children are forced to abandon their residences. Critics also claim condo buyers intending to resell do not actually reside in the properties.
去年七月，千代田区向日本房地产公司协会发出请求，要求其合作防止投机性住宅交易，并呼吁加入禁止五年内转售的条款。
In July of last year, Chiyoda issued a request to the Real Estate Companies Association of Japan for cooperation in preventing speculative condo transactions, calling for a clause prohibiting the resale of properties for five years.
房地产协会最终在住宅交付给买家之前采用了禁止转售的措施，但千代田区认为该措施不足。
The real estate association ended up adopting a prohibition on resales prior to the handover of condos to buyers, but Chiyoda deemed that measure to be insufficient.
“我们将继续考虑有效措施，绝不松懈，”千代田区区长樋口高顕于2025年7月对《日经新闻》表示。
"We'll continue to consider effective measures without letting up," Chiyoda Ward Mayor Takaaki Higuchi told Nikkei in July 2025.
千代田区今后计划对区内新开发的公寓采取相同做法。这些措施仅适用于城市再开发项目及其他需要与区政府协调的项目。纯私人公寓项目将获豁免。
Chiyoda plans to take the same approach for newly developed condominiums within the ward going forward. The measures would only apply to urban redevelopment projects and other projects requiring coordination with the ward. Purely private condo projects will be exempt.
城市住房价格上涨在其他国家也是个问题。加拿大和澳大利亚已着手限制非公民购房。
Rising prices for urban housing are an issue in other countries as well. Canada and Australia have moved to restrict home purchases by noncitizens.
在日本，有人对限制房地产交易持谨慎态度，担心过度限制可能触犯宪法关于“财产权不得侵犯”的规定。进一步推进监管可能需要探讨如何在保障住房负担能力与财产权之间取得平衡。
In Japan, some are wary of restricting real estate transactions out of concern that excessive constraints could run afoul of the constitution's stipulation that "the right to own or to hold property is inviolable." Further moves toward regulation may necessitate discussion on how to balance ensuring affordability with property rights.
