  • Mitsui Fudosan to Begin Toyosu 2Nd District 2-1 Project (Towers a and C )
    2016-12-1 Press Release Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. Mitsui Fudosan to begin Toyosu 2nd District 2-1 Project (Towers A and C ) Tokyo, Japan, December 1, 2016 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Toyosu 2nd District 2-1 Project (Towers A and C )(hereinafter, the “project.”) The project is part of the Toyosu 2-Chome Station Area Type-I Urban Area Redevelopment Project building project, and continues on from the Koto City Toyosu Civic Center completed in June last year and the Tokyo Fire Department Fukagawa Fire Station Toyosu Branch Office finished in November this year. Mitsui Fudosan will advance this project as the main developer with the cooperation of IHI Corporation, the owner of the project site. The project is located on a site of approx. 19,000 m2 (within the 2-1 District with an area of approx. 28,000 m2) near Toyosu Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Yurikamome Line. The project will be a large-scale, mixed-use redevelopment centered on office functions. The building will have a total floor area of approx. 184,000 m2 (for a total floor area of approx. 259,000 m2 combined with Tower B planned for construction next year) and will become a new landmark for the Tokyo Bay area within Tokyo. It constitutes the largest scale project in the Toyosu area. In addition to offices equipped with the latest functions, the project includes a retail zone that extends the functions of the adjacent Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu (LaLaport Toyosu), and a hotel zone directly operated by the Mitsui Fudosan Group.

  • Yurikamome: Tokyo's Automated Transportation System
    Yurikamome: Tokyo’s Automated Transportation System Connecting Central Tokyo with the Rinkai Waterfront Area New Transit Yurikamome is an automated guideway transit (AGT) system that connects central Tokyo with the Rinkai waterfront area, built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. The 12-kilometer (7.5-mile) section from Shimbashi, a major train and subway station, to Ariake in the Rinkai area opened on November 1, 1995, and was extended to connect Ariake with the subway station at Toyosu in March 2006. The line now has 16 stations along its 14.7 km (9.1-mile) route. There are two main advantages to the AGT system. The first is that operation is controlled by computer and is fully automatic. There is little chance of human error, and the level of operational precision is high. The service thus sticks very closely to the timetable, with 18 trains per hour at peak times. As the availability of drivers is not a constraint, it is possible to flexibly add extra services when many passengers are expected, such as around New Year’s, during vacation periods, or when special events are being held. The second advantage is that the trains have rubber tires, four per carriage, and run along a concrete guideway. As AGT systems can be built on elevated routes above existing roads, there is no need to acquire a great deal of extra land, and construction costs are about a third to a half of those for a subway route. The carriages are small and light, and their tires grip well, allowing the trains to negotiate sharp curves and slopes.
