To deal with declining regional economies due to aging population and depopulation, the Group aims to vitalize regions by providing products and services that respond to region-specific issues and creating sustainable communities.

Vitalization of city centers in regional cities across the country ―community building linked to the region―
To vitalize declining regional cities due to aging population and depopulation, the Group is working on redevelopment projects of city centers. In participating the projects, we believe it is vital to draw a picture of the city suited for the feature of each region together with right holders with a strong sense of ownership. We have participated in a number of redevelopment projects across the country and contributed to regeneration of regional communities, creation of prosperity, and securing of residential population, etc.
“Category 1 urban redevelopment project in the south district of Tajimi Station” in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture
In 2015, the Group participated in the “Category 1 urban redevelopment project in the south district of Tajimi Station” project covering the area around “Tajimi” Station of the JR Chuo Main Line and Taita Line, and 7 years later, in October 2022, the 29-story “Mid Rise Tower Tajimi” was completed. Before the project, the south district of Tajimi Station was not fully offering functions of urban areas as it was surrounded by aging commercial and office buildings and open air parking lots. Therefore, this redevelopment project aims to create a convenient and bustling town by providing commercial services that are fitting for the face of the station area, creating safe and comfortable transportation and living environment, as well as improving disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities.
“Tawaramoto Station, South District, Category 1. urban redevelopment project” in Tawaramoto-machi, Shiki-gun, Nara
”Duo Hills Tawaramoto Ekimae” is a 10-story complex facility located just a one-minute walk from “Tawaramoto” Station of Kintetsu Railway Kashihara Line and accommodates residential units, as well as commercial, medical, and welfare service facilities. This area has been designated as a key residential area in the Nara Prefecture Urban Planning Master Plan, with long-standing plans for the development of the station square and urban redevelopment. While the rotary in front of the station has been completed, redevelopment of the adjacent land has yet to progress. Completed in January 2024, this property is the first new condominium apartments to be offered in this area in 22 years. Tawaramoto-machi is a town with a population of about 30,000. By incorporating thoughtful design that blends seamlessly into the cityscape and attracting highly public-oriented tenants, this property contributes to enhancing the local living environment and creating attractive living spaces.

Recovery support and creation of prosperity in the Tohoku area
For the restoration and recovery of the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Group has participated in urban redevelopment projects in various regions. The aims of these projects are not only to simply provide housing as was the case in other projects but also to provide residents with safe and secure housing by establishing an integrated facility combining commercial and disaster prevention functions which can be used as a recreational space that brings community together in times of peace and as a shelter in times of emergency. We have already developed and sold three buildings in Ishinomaki City and one in Shiogama City, promoting recovery support for the affected areas and creation of prosperity through our business activities.
Initiatives in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture
“Ishinomaki Terrace” is our first disaster-resilient property in the urban redevelopment project after the earthquake. Completed in February 2016, its common area houses a convenience store and a tutoring school as well as a terrace and a meeting space having disaster prevention functions. This property received “Excellent Business Award” in the 7th Excellent Business Award ceremony hosted by the Japan Housing Industry Association.
“Duo Hills Ishinomaki Tachimachi” completed in September 2016 is the second property in the Ishinomaki area. This property has a view of a garden owned by an old family Honke Akitaya and houses stores, public housing for disaster victims, and social welfare facilities. On the first floor, there is “Ishinomaki ASATTE,” a combined store for food, household products and café, contributing to recovery and creation of prosperity in the Ishinomaki area.
“Duo Hills Ishinomaki Marks” has 12 stories above ground with commercial facilities on the first and second floor and is the first earthquake-proof condominium apartment in Ishinomaki City. Just like “Ishinomaki Terrace” and “Duo Hills Ishinomaki Tachimachi,” this property, completed in August 2019, also has a disaster prevention square that can be used as a temporary evacuation facility and disaster prevention storage to prepare for disasters.

It also contributes to promoting community activities and intergenerational exchange as well as enhancing people’s health by inviting a sport club, day care service and medical mall to the facility.

Aiming at solving regional issues such as aging public infrastructure, the Group cooperates with the government and works on the development taking advantage of charms of the region. In the government workers housing site development project in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, the Group not only developed condominium apartments but also renovated the adjacent park. The Group aims to improve the region’s sustainable value by facing regional issues, cooperating with the government and regional companies and residents, and undertaking development in consideration of environmental conservation of the area as well as establishing a system to maintain and succeed the developed living environment.

Iwaki Station, Namiki Dori, complex redevelopment project “Namiki-no-Mori City”
The Group participated as a member in “Iwaki Station, Namiki Dori district, Category 1. urban redevelopment project,” a comprehensive complex development project integrating new condominiums for sale and commercial, office and parking facilities in Iwaki City, Fukushima, and its residential building “Mid Tower Iwaki” was completed in November 2024. The station-front area, comprised of these facilities and a green promenade, constitutes “Namiki-no-Mori City.”
This project has been promoted under a redevelopment concept of a new “City” that nurtures an urban center where “living in the city,” “gathering in the city,” and “'enjoying the city” come together in harmony. Beyond standard condominium planning, we have aimed for and promoted soft manufacturing, which focuses on fostering connections not just among residents, but also with the wider community, achieved through the design and physical infrastructure that links the entire redevelopment area, including buildings, promenades, and public squares.
The Group has developed multiple condominium apartments in Iwaki City, and this project marks our fourth building. With the aim of further contributing to regional revitalization through residential development, we hosted a grand community-opening event across the entire Namiki-no-Mori area in April 2025. It was a day full of energy and excitement, with crowds of people coming and going around JR Iwaki Station, bringing the area to life.
We believes that, beyond real estate development, we can contribute to local communities and co-create new regional value through our business, and we remain committed to sustaining the area’s vibrancy even after the completion of the buildings.
Community contribution activity in Nanukamachi, Yamagata City, Yamagata
In the “Urban redevelopment project in the south district of the 5th block, Nanukamachi,” in which the Group participated, new condominiums for sale “Duo Hills Yamagata Nanukamachi Tower” and commercial facilities “Nanukamachi Lulutas” were completed in March 2021.
Nanukamachi has long served as the heart of the area, and its traditional charm remains today in the form of scenic, historic streetscapes. The new buildings feature exterior designs that incorporate traditional colors, harmonizing with the area’s historic character and surrounding landscape. The lower levels are designed to harmonize with the nearby tourist attraction, Gotenzeki.
The Group continues to manage the condominium and the adjacent commercial facility within this redevelopment area. With the aim of revitalizing the entire Nanukamachi area, the Group has been organizing an event since 2024 that combines sports with community clean-up activities, commonly known as “SPO-GOMI.”
In June 2025, the second event was organized on a large scale in collaboration with local companies and student organizations, contributing to the sustainable revitalization of the community.
