Tokyo, Japan, September 1, 2017 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd, a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that through its U.S. subsidiary Mitsui Fudosan America, Inc. (CEO: John Westerfield), it has decided to move forward with 50 Hudson Yards, a New York office building development project. This project is an office building within Hudson Yards, Manhattan’s largest-ever mixed-use development, with a total floor area of approx. 2,793,000 ft2 (approx. 260,000 m2), placing 50 Hudson Yards also among the largest standalone office building developments in Manhattan. The total project value exceeds ¥400 billion (at a rate of $1=¥112), of which Mitsui Fudosan’s share is about 90%. Completion is scheduled for 2022.

Hudson Yards is located on Manhattan’s Midtown west side, which has undergone remarkable changes in recent years. It is a large-scale redevelopment project on a development site with a total of approx. 11 hectares. It will encompass five office buildings, which will be occupied by tenants including the headquarters of Coach, Inc., L’Oreal USA, SAP, KKR,Boston Consulting Group and Time Warner Inc., retail facilities boasting Manhattan’s first Neiman Marcus store, high-rise condominiums, a luxury hotel, cultural properties and a school. Adjacent to the development, the 1.6 hectare Hudson Park and Boulevard is scheduled to open, and the already completed High Line, a greenway built on an abandoned elevated freight line, is also planned to offer direct access. The Hudson Yards development is led by Related Companies (“Related”), one of the biggest developers in the U.S., and by the Oxford Properties Group (“Oxford”), the real estate investment and development arm of one of Canada’s largest institutional investors.

Housing mainly office space, 50 Hudson Yards will have 58 floors above ground and 3 below, and a total floor area of 2,793,000 ft2 (approx. 260,000 m2). It is located with direct access to the nearest subway station, with a park on the building’s entrance side. This state-of-the-art office building will feature the large floor plates preferred by a wide range of tenants, several dedicated lobby areas envisaged to address the needs of large-scale tenants using the building for their headquarters, high environmental performance subject to LEED certification, as well as other appealing features including a port-cochere, rare for Manhattan, and a parking garage

The world’s largest investment management company, BlackRock will locate its headquarters at 50 Hudson Yards and serve as one of the development’s anchor tenants.

At 55 Hudson Yards, another development project in the Hudson Yards area currently being carried out together with Related and Oxford, tenant leasing activities are progressing extremely well, with about 80% of tenants already committed. 55 Hudson Yards is scheduled for completion in 2018.

As with 55 Hudson Yards, The Mitsui Fudosan Group regards 50 Hudson Yards as a flagship building that will be at the core of its portfolio for future overseas business. In addition to offering an opportunity to expand the company’s overseas operations, the project will utilize the expertise accumulated though the mixed-use urban development and neighborhood creation projects Mitsui Fudosan has undertaken in Japan to add further value to the Hudson Yards project.

The Mitsui Fudosan Group's Overseas Strategy

The Mitsui Fudosan Group has positioned overseas business as one of its growth areas and is engaged in projects Western countries such as the U.S. and UK and elsewhere in Europe, as well as in China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. In the U.S., Mitsui Fudosan is developing housing and other multi-use projects, and aims to capture even more new business opportunities going forward.
