A Model Plan for the Renewal
of Central Tokyo will begin in full-scale at Shiba 3-chome,
Minato-ku
The Construction of the Business/Commercial Complex will begin
tomorrow in the final block (A-2 Block) for redevelopment.
|
| |
| * We, Mitsui Fudosan., have been working earnestly
for redevelopment of Shiba 3-chome block (area of about 2.3ha)
in the heart of Minato-ku, Tokyo in collaboration with the
local landowners. We are now pleased to announce that the
Plan is coming to the final stage of completion as we have
heartily desired. The construction on the business/commercial
block (A-2 Block) will begin in March 23 to build a business/commercial
complex, which will be a skyscraper called the "Shiba 3-Chome
East District A-2 Block Plan (tentative name)". This block
will be the last area to be redeveloped in the "Shiba 3-chome
East Redevelopment Plan". |
* "Shiba 3-chome East Redevelopment Plan" is an urban
planning to improve the block/road patterns created over the
past into the urban infrastructure corresponding to the coming
age, while realizing intensive use of land and introducing
multiple functions befitting for the urban core.
We regard this redevelopment plan as the "universal model
Plan for the urban renewal".
Our plan is to build a business/commercial complex on the
A block, in the east side of the district, and a condominium
that meets the diversified life style for the urban citizenry
on the B block, in the west-side. Chuo Trust Bank Head Office
Building on the south side of the A block (A-1 block) and
the "Shiba Park Tower", our skyscraper condominium, on the
B block have already begun constructions in September and
October 1998 respectively but not completed.
Roads and public spaces in the building sites will be unified
in design in the center of the planned site, where will be
designated for a promenade (Living Environment Axis (tentative
name)) with greenery and cheer that stretches from north to
south with the length of 155m in 25m width. This will give
not only the clear segmentation between the residential and
the business/commercial functions, but also generates safe
and comfortable urban space in harmony between the two functions.
|
* In carrying out the Plan, we utilize the wealth
of our developmental know-how and employ the following three
business-and-planning methods, which is setting a precedent
in Japan.
- "Comprehensive improvements on the infrastructure" through
"the land reallocation Plans to intensify land utilization
in districts (inner-city type small-scale land reallocation
work)," (executed by unions.)
- "Systematic and gradual improvements on buildings and
environments" provided in the urban planning decision
of the "District Renewal Plan".
- "Provision of the high quality housing stocks for the
next generation", in application to the "urban condominium
supply Plan" (for the B block.)
This
redevelopment Plan is the first work endeavored in Tokyo metropolis
in response to the guideline, "the land reallocation works
to intensify land utilization in districts (inner-city type
small-scale land reallocation work)", which was established
by the Ministry of Construction to encourage effective use
of unused/underused lands in the inner city areas. The Ministry
of Construction lists this redevelopment Plan as one of the
leading Plans in the official announcement concerning the
"promotional measures for inner-city living through improvements
on methods for intensifying land-use and on city-infrastructures"
in March 1997. |
|
* We, as the business agent for the union, have
aimed to complete the land allocation work by the end of
March 2000 at "Shiba 3-chome East Block land allocation
Plan" where we have made infrastructure improvements as
a part of this redevelopment Plan.
We will appoint the landscape architect who will draw
up design guidelines to keep harmonious landscape of the
entire area and to work cooperatively with neighboring
areas for environmental maintenance, so as to continue
the role of a coordinator for the overall city development.
|
* The purpose of the "Shiba 3-Chome East District
A-2 Block Plan (tentative name)" is to "introduce sophisticated
and creative business/commercial facilities" that materializes
one of the fundamental concepts for this redevelopment Plan,
and the plan will indeed provide facilities befitting to represent
a business/commercial complex of the 21st century.
The planned complex is in the very convenient location, having
accesses to Tamachi station by JR, Mita station by Toei Mita
and Asakusa lines, Shiba-koen station by Toei Mita line, and
Akabanebashi station by Toei Oh-edo line. The complex will
be 17 stories aboveground and 2 stories underground, facilitating
office, hotel, and retail-store functions. The office area
will have wide space of approximately 2,480m2 effective lease
area in a typical floor, equipped with facilities designed
to amply meet the demands of the leading edge corporations,
such as international financial institutions and companies
related to information network that require advanced IT infrastructures.
The hotel will be composed primarily with guest room facilities
assuming the wide range of visitors from businesses and tourism.
Hotel rooms will surround a patio on the 14th floor, which
will provide a comfortable place for the guests.
Retail stores will be located on the first floor facing the
promenade in greenery, staging a lively street and a unique
urban life. |

who has wealth of experiences in Plan management business
globally, for propelling the "Shiba 3-chome East District
A-2 Block Plan (tentative name)". |

| Exposition of the development methods |
|
| (1) Land reallocation Plan to intensify land utilization
in districts (inner-city type small-scale land reallocation
work) |
A
type of land reallocation work operated in the limited
inner-city districts to realize well-planned improvements
of public facilities and effective usage of lands
in the existing urban areas, whereas normally the
land reallocation work has been operating on the large
lands (5 to several hundred hectares) in rural areas.
(According to the land reallocation law.)
Land
needs to be effectively and intensively utilized in
the center of metropolitan districts. However, the
reality finds struggles in many districts to have
effective use of lands: by inadequate provision of
roads, irregular and narrow shapes of lands, and mixed
use of land, some for cooperative and others for independent
use. Exchange and/or division/combination of lands,
improvement of public facilities, and orderly reorganization
of blocks will realize the fine city-infrastructure
and effective land use in such areas. Newly created
usable space by the realization of the intensified
land use should not only be exploited for businesses
and commercial use, but also for the promotion of
inner-city living.
To
promote such land reallocation Plans in inner city,
the Ministry of Construction has established an assisting
system supplied by the national general account called
the "Intensive land utilization districts promotion
Plan". Later the system was amplified to the "Land
reallocation Plan to intensify land utilization in
districts (according to the guidelines for inner-city
residential area development Plan system)."

| (2) District Renewal Plan |
The
plan is aimed to improve low/under-developed area
with sizable land located in the vital area of the
city, such as sites once used as factories or railway-
yards. It is aimed to have a clear orientation in
the city planning upon converting the land usage based
on the characteristics of the area, as well as to
collateralize the appropriate provisional standards
for the public facilities, while alternating regulations
for land usage and promote adequate conduction and
gradual provision of private sectors. (Clause 1-3,
Article 12-4, City Planning Law)
Contents
of the district renewal plan provide policies on improvements
and developments, dispositions and dimensions of the
public facilities, as well as the detailed district
renewal plan. (Clause 2, Article 12-5, Urban Planning
Law)
The
"detailed district renewal plan" shall provide dispositions
and dimensions of local facilities, limitations for
usage of buildings, and others. (Clause 3, Article
12-5, Urban Planning Law)
Buildings
located within the objective areas of the detailed
district renewal plan shall be eased on regulations
in land use, floor area ratio, and clearances (setback
regulations from road width and site boundaries, as
well as north-side slant line regulations) through
obtaining approvals from specified administrative
offices. (Article 68-5, Building Standard Law)

| (3) Urban Condominium Supply Plan |
The
system was established in 1995 for the purpose of
promoting construction of quality housings to regain
residential populations in the selective areas of
housing supply in three major metropolitan regions
of Tokyo (within the Belt Highway No. 7 and Wangan
Express Way), Osaka and Nagoya. (In accordance to
the "Special measures to promote supply of housings
and residential districts in metropolitan areas".)
Based
on this system, when a Plan is "certified" by the
governor of the metropolis/prefectures, national and
local government will provide subsidies on construction
cost and others while charging public regulations
on qualification and selection methods of the tenants,
establishment of the rent and the transfer prices,
as well as the management and disposition of housings.
