Funabashi Morino City (completed 2014)

Adoption of Advanced Technologies and Urban Development with the Participation of Residents

Located on the 17.6-hectare site of a former factory, the redevelopment plan for this project was formulated by Funabashi City, and the project was advanced to create an urban area that is filled with greenery enriching the lives of people of all generations. In addition to roughly 1,500 houses, the development comprises retail facility, medical facilities, and childcare facilities, as well as roads and five parks and green spaces which contribute not only to the residents who move in there but also to communities in the surrounding districts.

The urban development project is based on the “Smart & Share Town Concept.” While leveraging advanced technologies, knowledge, and IT networks, this project aims to care for the environment and build a community that brings people together.
Such urban development initiatives have been highly acclaimed, with Funabashi Morino City becoming the first non-French project to be awarded Step 4 by the Government of France, as the final stage of the Label ÉcoQuartier for a model sustainable community development.

ÉcoQuartier Certification(Label ÉcoQuartier)

ÉcoQuartier is a certification process devised by the French Ministry of Housing and Sustainable Home for model development projects to realize high-quality living through sustainable community development.

KAMEIDO PROJECT (completed in 2022)
“Super High-rise ZEH-M Demonstration Project” of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry *Project adopted by PROUD Tower Kameido Cross the Gate Tower only

Comprising residences, retail facility, and education facilities, this large-scale complex took place on the site of “Sun Street Kameido,” a commercial facility that has been loved by locals for 20 years. Our aim in this project is to pass on this beloved land to future generations. To this end, we carefully listened to the voices of local residents and established an “Urban development conference” from the district planning stage to sustain active dialogue and reflect on the results of the development work.
