(“Mitsui Fudosan”) announced that work will begin on the JP Building Project on July 1, 2016. The project by Japan Pulp and Paper and other landowners is scheduled for completion at the end of June 2018.

A mixed-use complex comprising offices, a hotel and retail facilities will be built and the project itself is part of the Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan, involving the redevelopment of numerous properties in the Nihonbashi area, for which Mitsui Fudosan has been contracted as the project manager. Once reconstruction of the JP Building is completed, Japan Pulp and Paper plans to sign a master lease agreement for Mitsui Fudosan to manage the collective leasing and subleasing of the offices and retail facilities it owns in the building. The project aims to develop a new complex contributing to the urban renewal of Nihonbashi.

Mitsui Fudosan will open the Mitsui Garden Hotel Nihonbashi Premier (approximately 260 rooms) in fall 2018 which will be the first Mitsui Garden Hotel in Nihonbashi Muromachi area .
