Tokyo, Japan, August 30, 2018 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that it has decided to participate in the Dunhua North Road Hotel (tentative name) business, which will be its third hotel property in Taiwan, by entering into an agreement for development and management of the hotel with Taipei-based Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. * and other partners. Scheduled to open in 2024, this will be the third hotel in Taiwan to be directly operated by Mitsui Fudosan after the Zhongxiao Xinsheng Hotel (tentative name) and Zhongshan Zhongxiao Hotel (tentative name). Going forward, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will continue to develop hotel businesses in Taiwan centered on the Taipei metropolitan area.

The project site is in a highly convenient location only six minutes on foot from Taipei Songshan Airport, a major gateway for tourism and business. The hotel is on Dunhua North Road in the heart of the business district, ideally located for business travelers, while the Fuijin Street area on the east side has many cafes and restaurants popular with tourists. Thus the hotel will cater for a broad range of guests.

For this hotel, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will lease a building developed by Cathay Real Estate Development from that company and other partners, and will operate the property as an high-class accommodation-style hotel with 185 guestrooms. The Group will collaborate on planning the hotel from the building development stage. On the hotel operations front, the Mitsui Fudosan Group has developed expertise through the operation of 25 hotels in its Mitsui Garden Hotel chain in Japan. The Group will take full advantage of this expertise to create “hotels that satisfy the senses” and “hotels to remember” in Taiwan, as it has done in Japan. With this in mind, Mitsui Fudosan will make every effort to provide services replete with unparalleled hospitality.
