LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE will contribute to the creation of a vibrant and comfortable pedestrian setting in front of the station as part of the urban redevelopment in the proximity of Kita-ayase Station
LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE will contribute to the creation of a vibrant neighborhood by establishing a new lively, community-oriented space in front of the station. It will do so based on the notion of “attracting facilities that create vibrancy and revitalizing shopping districts,” which is one of the pillars of the Urban Development Plan for the Kita-ayase Station Area.
As part of this plan and in conjunction with the consolidation of land parcels into a larger block, local roads and pedestrian open spaces have been developed in accordance with the District Plan for Kita-ayase Station Area. A total of three local roads and four open spaces for pedestrians have been established, thereby contributing to creation of a comfortable pedestrian setting and ensuring smooth access to the retail facility.
Initiatives to Achieve a Sustainable Society
LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE engages in measures to reduce its environmental impact with its sights set on helping to achieve a sustainable society. In part, this entails gaining various external certifications related to the environment and actively adopting renewable energy sources with low impact on the global environment.
■Obtained ZEB Oriented Certification (merchandise sales, etc.) based on assessment pursuant to BELS
LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE has obtained Zero Energy Building (ZEB) Oriented Certification (merchandise sales, etc.) based on assessment pursuant to the Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System (BELS), upon having achieved more than a 30% reduction in the design primary energy consumption of the facility as part of its Carbon Neutral Design Promotion Plan.
The scope of its ZEB Oriented Certification for the facility covers “merchandise sales, etc.,” which excludes the floor area occupied by its eating and drinking establishments from the total floor area.
■Acquisition of DBJ Green Building Certification
LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE has obtained a rating of four stars under the DBJ Green Building Certification program, which assesses environmental and social awareness from a perspective grounded in ESG. The DBJ Green Building Certification serves as a program for certifying properties that evince environmental and social awareness. It enlists assessment parameters that include overall environmental performance, diversity and local environmental awareness, and stakeholder collaboration.

■On-site energy generation through installation of solar panels / Landscaping of sidewalks and rooftop areas
LaLa Terrace KITA-AYASE will have solar panels installed on the roof of the building to generate energy on-site. The system is expected to produce approximately 80,000 kWh of electricity annually, which will be used to power the facility’s common areas. In addition, approximately 960 m2 of landscaping will be added to the sidewalks surrounding the facility and rooftop area. By incorporating abundant greenery, the facility aims to create an eco-friendly space for shopping.

Mitsui Fudosan Lifestyle Park-type Retail Facilities (as of April 2025)
■ Sustainability in the Mitsui Fudosan Group
Based on the meaning of its “& mark,” “to generate new value with society through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating,” the Mitsui Fudosan Group views the “creation of social value” and the “creation of economic value” as two wheels of a cart. Accordingly, we believe that the creation of social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value then creates even greater social value.
Moreover, we identified six Group Materiality priority issues when formulating our new management philosophy in April 2024. These Group Materiality priority issues are (1) Contribute to industrial competitiveness, (2) Coexist with the environment, (3) Health and Vitality, (4) Safety and security, (5) Diversity and inclusion, and (6) Compliance and governance. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will work to address each of the materialities through its core business activities and contribute to the promotion of sustainability.

Furthermore, in April 2025, the Mitsui Fudosan Group formulated “& EARTH for Nature,” its declaration of coexistence with the environment in neighborhood creation. Seeing the environment as a “Holistic Environment” blending nature, people, and community into a cohesive whole, the Group is promoting neighborhood creation that expands prosperous “Holistic Environments” and passes them on to future generations. In the Declaration, five key issues to address have been established: Preserve and nurture greenery, Harness the allure of water, Enrich the ecosystem, Connect the aspirations of the community, and Promote the circulation of natural resources. The initiatives described in this news release contribute to 4 of the key issues to address in “& EARTH for Nature.”
