This latest facility will be the 14th in the series, and the first in the three prefectures of the Tokai Region*, incorporating the experience and knowledge that the Company has accumulated to date, such as initiatives to offer comfort to parents raising children.

Initiatives include enhancing the functions of our facilities by adding feeding rooms and kids’ spaces, as well as holding events for parents and children to enjoy.

An Official Mail Order Shopping Website with a New Concept Linked to LaLaport and Other Retail Properties “Mitsui Shopping Park & mall”

Mitsui Shopping Park &mall is an official e-Commerce mall shopping website that opened in November 2017. The website is linked with LaLaport and other retail properties operated by Mitsui Fudosan Group to offer a new shopping experience.

Since the opening of the Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport TOKYO-BAY in 1981, the Mitsui Fudosan Group has been launching retail properties that have responded to the trends of the times and the changes in customer needs, thereby always creating new consumer behavior trends.

LaLaport NAGOYA minato AQULS also offers shoppers the option of checking for products handled by stores beforehand on Mitsui Shopping Park &mall, or purchasing products on the website after they visit the property if they didn’t buy them on the day. In this way, customers can take advantage of mutual use of real and e-commerce stores to enjoy a convenient, new shopping experience. Going forward, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will continue to work together with customers and stores to create new shopping value in the spirit of "Growing Together," the concept behind the Group's retail property business.
