ABOVE+BEYOND Niseko is the first luxury, all season resort, available for investment in Japan�s hot new ski destination, Niseko.

Property remains a stable long term investment for those in the know, and Niseko has been, and is expected to remain, one of the most profitable areas to invest in Japan. As reported by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in 2007, Niseko was Japan�s highest property growth area, with land values increasing by up to 33%.

With real estate sales set to commence in December, ABOVE+BEYOND Niseko will offer the opportunity for investors to own a piece of the action in one of Asia�s fastest growing holiday destinations. ABOVE+BEYOND will manage and operate the resort on behalf of owners.

Executive Director Ginn Lai says �We want to offer investors and guests something ABOVE their expectations and BEYOND their imagination. Our offering delivers exactly what sophisticated skiers have been looking for, and will change the way travelers look at luxury accommodations in Niseko. There is no longer a need to travel to the Alps or Whistler.�

The resort will feature a total of 102 one, two, and three bedroom suites as well as 22 four bedroom residential chalets with private basement hydro pools and rooftop hot tubs; all designed to accentuate luxury in the snow.

Guests and owners will be able to enjoy an international restaurant, apr�s ski bar, wine cellar, traditional onsen thermal baths, spa retreat, and gymnasium, as well as an indoor heated swimming pool, library cafe and extensive conference/banqueting facilities � all right by the ski slopes.

ABOVE+BEYOND Niseko is ideally located, just one minute from the ski lifts with uninterrupted views of iconic Mount Yotei and is on the doorstep of the buzzing nightlife of Hirafu Village.

Already a firm favourite with those in the know, Niseko boasts one of the longest ski seasons in the world and consistently high and light snowfall, producing deep powder snow in winter (typically 15 metres per year); and providing cool, low humidity summers. It draws visitors from Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and China.

Launching their debut property, ABOVE+BEYOND Hotels & Resorts is a new hotel development and management company created by a team of seasoned professionals from the hospitality and property industries. They combine skills gathered from experience with chic award winning hotels, private equity funds, and real estate. Their experience, knowledge, and sense of style have been injected into this first project in Niseko, Japan.

�We are extremely excited to launch our flagship property in the buzzing resort of Niseko and we have both high and long term aspirations for our company. We are confident investors will achieve a good rate of return on their ABOVE+BEYOND properties and guests will enjoy the service and facilities offered at our resorts.� says Jason Cohen, Executive Director of Business Development.
