Real Estate Boom 1.0

Date: July 2000 issue
URL: http://www.japaninc.net/article.php?articleID=575

Compared to the real estate prices of the 1980s Bubble Economy, today's office rents are dirt cheap. Back then, a 100-dollar bill wouldn't buy the land it covered in downtown Tokyo, the Imperial Palace was worth more than California, and all of Tokyo could have bought all of the US. In theory, the Japanese could have bought the entire world by selling their archipelago. At the height of the bubble, Tokyo land prices reached $350,000 per square meter. Since that peak, prices have fallen by more than $5,000 billion, over 110 percent of Japan's GDP.
