  • Umekita Second Zone (Tentative Name) Development Project Begins
    Umekita Second Zone (Tentative Name) Development Project Begins TOKYO, Japan ‐ March 25, 2020 ‐ The joint venture of nine companies (“JV9”), led by Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., that have been selected to develop the Second Zone in the Umekita Area, announced that their urban planning proposal for the tentatively named Umekita Second Zone Development Project was carefully discussed by the Osaka City City Planning Council today. The proposal is now expected to be confirmed. The project is founded on an urban development philosophy of fusing “midori”—open green space that is easily accessible to everyone—and “innovation.” Leveraging its previous development track record with Grand Front Osaka, the advance development zone project, JV9 will engage in urban development in Umekita that will provide an example to Osaka, to the entire Kansai region, and to the world. Rendering of the completed Umekita Second Zone The image is based on data accurate as of May 2018, and is subject to change ■ 1. Local Access One of the most accessible locations in Osaka ・ Served by seven different stations on 13 different train lines, including JR Osaka Station, Umekita Second Zone boasts outstanding accessibility from the entire Kansai region. It is also within easy reach of domestic and international gateways such as Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Shin‐Osaka Station; as such, on the back of growing numbers of inbound visitors and further regional development and revitalization, it is likely to attract increasing attention both at home and overseas. Plans for a new station that will become a regional hub ・ West Japan Railway Company is planning to open Umekita (Osaka) Underground Station in spring 2023.
