‘The Rocks - Edge’ - the initial phase of the development - are scheduled for completion in the Upper Village of Hirafu in 2012.
Hong Kong-based Summit Properties plans to unveil the first condominium-hotel development at Niseko ski resort in Japan.
Located in the centre of the quaint alpine village of Hirafu within Hokkaido’s national park, the development concept features a substantial second ‘ski-in, ski-out’ development in the Upper Village, offering doorstep access to the celebrated ski-fields.
Niseko is Japan’s skiing and snowboarding mecca, famous for some of the world’s most pristine and dramatic champagne powder snow.
The initial phase of the development ‘The Rocks – Edge’ will comprise three-bedroom townhouses of 168 sqm and four-bedroom penthouses of 259 sqm and 286 sqm, scheduled for completion by the end of 2011.
Each apartment will include substantial additional exclusive areas such as balconies and gardens, and including roof terrace the top level penthouse will be over 440 sqm.
“The Rocks is inspired by the dramatic mountain beauty of Niseko, natural charm of the Hokkaido seasons and the sublime and elegant culture of Japan,” said Summit Properties spokesman Lucas Fuller.

Subsequent phases will incorporate a Kid’s Club, traditional Japanese onsen hot spring, modern spa, gym, restaurants, bar, deli, café and ski concierge. Apartments’ owners will benefit from the vibrancy of the Middle Village combined with full access to the on-the-snow facilities at the Upper Village development including onsen, ski concierge and storage, boot lockers and owner storage cupboards and parking.
Fuller added: “The Rocks will be an iconic development and the first of its kind, setting standards of service and breadth of facilities not seen in the village before. The combination of its unique National Park location providing stunning views with an ease of skier access not achieved by any other Niseko condominium development to date is unmatched.”
The project is planned and designed by Riccardo Tossani Architecture, while global engineering giants Arup provides engineering design, planning and project management services. Arup is renowned for iconic projects including Sydney Opera House and the Beijing Olympic Stadium.
The first phase of The Rocks will be showcased for the first time in Hong Kong between January 18-19 at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
