Japan is now painted in a completely optimistic Sumitomo R&D (8830.T),¥4,300 Buy light, with the pessimism which permeated Japan after the Great East Japan Source: Deutsche Securities Inc. Earthquake in 2011 forgotten and expectations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics riding high. The bank lending balance to the real estate sector is at a record high, and we expect bubble-like conditions in the real estate market to heighten due to increased investment in real estate to save on inheritance taxes. History repeats itself, but always in a slightly different form. We have no choice but to dance while the dance music continues to play. Japan heading towards its fourth bubble Japan has seen three bubble-like rises in real estate prices; in the early 1970s, the late 1980s, and the mid 2000s. We are now jumping into a fourth bubble. The three preconditions needed for a real estate bubble are: 1) a plausible scenario that supports the bubble, 2) more aggressive bank lending to the real estate sector, and 3) tax reforms that boost real estate prices. We believe that current conditions neatly meet these requirements: 1) a plausible scenario – although we see no reason to believe that everything will be fine until the Tokyo Olympics, it sounds plausible on the surface; 2) record-high bank lending to the real estate sector; and 3) widespread real estate investment to save on inheritance taxes which were raised. We currently have no choice but to continue dancing The Japan Revitalization Strategy, announced as the government's new growth strategy, includes many policies which push Abenomics' bedrock philosophy of survival of the fittest, and thus Japan's globalization seems right around the corner. As a result the middle class will likely be greatly segmented, with the gap between the rich and poor widening. An increase in high-net- worth individuals will boost savings, which will keep interest rates declining. This will likely push up real estate prices as many investors seek higher yields. Moreover, Japan's promotion of English language education is also likely to increase Japanese real estate investment by overseas high-net-worth individuals. It is uncertain whether these strategies will prove successful. However, the party music is currently high and loud in Japan and we can only continue to dance – even though we know it would be the last dance. Mitsui Fudosan and Sumitomo R&D are our top picks Physical property investors’ expected cap rates have declined to the same or lower levels as those of the mini-bubble around 2007. In such an environment, it is easy for physical property investors to generate abundant capital gain. However, we believe that real estate majors’ share prices have not currently factored this in. Mitsui Fudosan and Sumitomo R&D, which have pipelines bursting with development projects, seem markedly undervalued. We determine our target prices for the real estate sector by using a residual income model. We also take NAV into account. Downside risks to the real estate sector include: 1) higher risk premiums due to lower bank lending to the real estate sector, 2) tax hikes (e.g. consumption tax and income tax) and lower government spending due to a rush toward fiscal restructuring, and 3) tax revisions or regulations that inhibit real estate liquidity. Upside risks include: 1) sharp increases in private sector wages and 2) clarification that fiscal stimulatory measures such as lowering income tax will be taken. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Securities Inc.

    http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/index.html Introduction In the year 2000, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) replaced the Tokyo Metropolitan Pollution Prevention Ordinance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance, which covers countermeasures for vehicle pollution, chemical substances and climate change. The reason for the replacement was a shift in Tokyo’s environmental problems from industrial pollution mainly attributable to factories to urban and domestic pollution due to vehicle emissions and chemical substances, which may sometimes be related to climate change problems. In 2002, we started two programmes on which Tokyo’s present climate change strategy has been based: Tokyo Green Building Program for new buildings and Tokyo Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for existing large facilities. Since 2005, we have been promoting environmentally superior developments by introducing a mechanism to evaluate and disclose facilities’ efforts made in the programmes. In Tokyo’s Big Change - The 10-Year Plan developed in 2006, we set a goal of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 2000 levels by 2020 to make Tokyo a city with the least environmental impact in the world. Then in 2007, we announced the Tokyo Climate Change Strategy, which clarified our basic attitude toward tackling climate change for the next 10 years. Following a revision of the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance in 2008, we launched the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program for large facilities, the world’s first urban cap- and-trade scheme that covers office buildings as well, and the Carbon Reduction Reporting Program for small and medium facilities, committed to advancing our climate change strategy ever since then.

  • Evolving Cultural Landscape and Development of Modern Japan
    IKEGAYA, MAKOTO, M.A. Geographic Study of Historic Preservation: Evolving Cultural Landscape and Development of Modern Japan. (2013) Directed by Dr. Susan M. Walcott. 131 pp. The development of new architectural styles, infrastructure and construction materials in the Meiji period (1868-1912 CE), is tied to the creation of a modern Japanese identity. Despite recent developments toward preserving important historic property in Japan, many lesser known historical and vernacular sites continue to be ignored and have been ruined over time. An academic study of historic preservation is rare in Japan and in geography. The main purpose of this research is to clarify the role of historic preservation and to identify it with the rise of Japanese nationalism, economic development, and construction of the built environment during the pivotal Meiji period. The natural setting and history of Japan was examined and strategic plans for potential improvement in the field of Japanese historic preservation in the future are illustrated using case studies of the preservation projects of the Ise Jingu, Horyu-ji, the Tomioka Silk Mill, the Tokyo Station, and the Meiji Mura. Keywords: Built environment, cultural landscape, historic preservation, Meiji-Japan, national identity GEOGRAPHIC STUDY OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION: EVOLVING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AND DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN JAPAN by Makoto Ikegaya A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Greensboro 2013 Approved by Committee Chair APPROVAL PAGE This thesis has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

  • Introduction Construction Business
    Introduction Kajima Corporation was founded in 1840 and quickly grew to become an industry leader in the field of construction, where it has remained as such ever since. Headquartered in Tokyo, Kajima’s global operations network has evolved in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the United States in virtually every area of construction and real estate development. Kajima Group maintains an approximate workforce of over 15,000 employees around the globe. By generating annual consolidated sales of approximately 18 billion US dollars, Kajima ranks as one of the top construction firms in the world. Our extensive experience and expertise in the development, design, and construction of all types of structures from dams, bridges and tunnels to skyscrapers, factories, commercial facilities and resorts has led to the Kajima name being well recognized worldwide. These prominent capabilities and a successful track record have also garnered us the respect, trust and confidence of our clients and the society, which is the key to our sustainable growth. Construction Business Although our second core business of Real Estate Development has made a remarkable growth, Construction remains our first core business, accounting for over 80% of our global revenues. It is divided into Building Construction such as office buildings, production plants, condominiums and other types of buildings, and Civil Engineering such as dams, bridges and tunnels, etc. ROPPONGI HILLS (Tokyo, Japan) Roppongi Hills was developed as a complex of many cultural facilities with the concept of “Bunka Toshin (city center with culture)”. Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, the main and symbolic building of Roppongi Hills, has adopted various construction-related high-technologies such as HiDAX (seismic control system developed by Kajima), radio wave absorbent walls, and two-layered super double-deck elevators.
