CityIn July 2020, the grand opening was held for Hareza Ikebukuro,
a new large-scale complex developed and operated* by Tokyo
Tatemono together with our joint venture partner, The Sankei
Building Co., Ltd. The property is located around 300 metersfrom the east entrance of Ikebukuro Station in the heart ofTokyo’s Toshima Ward.
The area consists of the office building Hareza Tower, a newlandmark in Ikebukuro with 33 floors above ground; the hallbuilding Tokyo Tatemono Brillia HALL, a multi-purpose hallwhere up to around 1,300 people can enjoy Takarazuka Revue
performances and musicals; the Toshima Civic Center; andNaka-Ikebukuro Park, which is surrounded by the threebuildings. The name “Hareza Ikebukuro” derives from a
combination of two Japanese words: “hare,” which means a
special place to dress up and go out, and “za,” which means aplace where many people gather.
Hareza Ikebukuro is expected to develop as a theater citywhere people can enjoy an escape from everyday life. As a
new cultural center presenting a variety of culture to the world,
it has the potential to create new vibrancy in Ikebukuro.

From an area at risk of disappearance to one ofsustainable urban development
Toshima Ward is home to Ikebukuro, which is one of Tokyo’s
leading commercial areas and is also known as one of Tokyo’s“three major sub-centers” along with Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Ikebukuro Station is one of Japan’s largest terminal stations,accommodating nine railway lines from four companies (JREast, Seibu Railway, Tobu Railway, and Tokyo Metro). It has anaverage daily footfall of 2.64 million passengers, the third
highest of any station in Japan.
While Ikebukuro attracts a large daytime population as acommercial area, it has also faced issues such as a decline in
the number of young families residing there. In 2014, Toshima

Health Management / Occupational Safety and HealthWard was highlighted as the only area in Tokyo’s 23 wards tobe categorized as being at risk of disappearance.*1 The
analysis deemed it liable to become unsustainable in the future,
due to the declining populations of children and people
migration. Turning this challenge into an opportunity forchange, Toshima Ward set itself the goal of becoming a city ofsustainable development, and rapidly implemented an initiative
to make itself more friendly to women and children. The
resulting transformation, which included eliminating daycare
waiting lists and carrying out maintenance work on its parks,
earned Toshima Ward the No.1 position in a 2017 nationwide
ranking of cities by their friendliness to families in which bothparents are working while raising children.*2
This development project has its origins in a proposal
initiated by Toshima Ward to develop a large-scale complex on
the site of the old government building and the Toshima PublicHall. Its aim was to generate financial resources for theconstruction of a new government building. Tokyo Tatemono
announced its participation that year, 2014—the same yearthat the risk of urban decline in Toshima Ward was highlighted.

In the tender process, Toshima Ward was seeking proposals
that would transform the city into a vibrant place filled with
cultural diversity. In January 2015, Tokyo Tatemono put forward
a proposal that drew from our experience with thereconstruction project Brillia Tower Ikebukuro, in MinamiIkebukuro 2-chome Area A. Based on the concept of “a theatercity where everyone can shine,” the proposal involved a largescale complex consisting of large-scale, high-specification
office space as a business hub; a theater for cultural creativity;
and restaurants to create a lively atmosphere. After obtaining
preferential negotiation rights, Tokyo Tatemono was selected as

the developer that July.
To generate financial resources for the construction of thenew government building, a 76-year-and-six-month fixed-term
land lease was established for the development area. A lumpsum payment was made to Toshima Ward as advance landrent. The proceeds of this payment enabled Toshima Ward tofund the construction cost of the new government building andto realize the construction without substantial financial burden.
Hareza Ikebukuro embodies the concept of Toshima Ward’s“International City of Arts and Culture Vision,”—that of “atheater city, all of which is a stage where anyone can play aleading role.” It was therefore positioned as a project thatsymbolizes that vision.

Creating a new office market and increasing thediversity of the city
When Tokyo Tatemono considers a development plan, we
analyze the characteristics of the location in detail. We make aconscious effort to maximize the area’s potential. Prior to thedevelopment plan of Hareza Ikebukuro, the area around
Ikebukuro Station had not seen the development of any largescale office buildings since Sunshine City. It was not associatedwith being an office district and was therefore not wellrecognized in the market.
We decided to develop an office building in Ikebukuro basedon our assessment of the city’s potential. We saw value in thearea’s convenient transportation; its appeal as represented byartistic and cultural offerings; and the large population ofpeople working in Ikebukuro and living nearby, due to the trendof people preferring to live close to where they work. As aresult, the contract rate for Hareza Tower reached 100% at thetime of the building’s completion, despite the fact that this wasduring the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, we were able tocreate a new office market in Ikebukuro, contributing to thearea’s diversity and appeal.

An area with a strong circulation that generates a flowof people to the surrounding facilities
To enhance the circulation of people through the Ikebukuro
area as a whole, we sought to encourage visitors to Hareza
Ikebukuro to use the facilities in the surrounding area, rather
than having their activities contained within Hareza Ikebukuro.
In doing so, we aimed to help revitalize the entire area.
Specifically, to address a concept of “After the Theater”
advocated by Toshima Ward, we planned the facilities to havea low volume of food and beverage outlets. In this way, people
emerging from a play or cultural experience at Hareza
Ikebukuro could find a place to enjoy unwinding among themany restaurants already established in Ikebukuro.

A safe, secure, and sustainable city
Supporting safety and security as a local disasterprevention center

The most important issue for urban development in Japan is tocreate a safe and secure community that is prepared fordisasters. Tokyo Tatemono has concluded an agreement withToshima Ward on measures to deal with people who havedifficulty returning home in the event of a disaster. This includes
not only accepting people who have difficulty returning home at
the Hareza Tower and Tokyo Tatemono Brillia HALL, but also
maintaining a disaster prevention base in cooperation withNaka-Ikebukuro Park and the Toshima Civic Center operatedby Toshima Ward. In this way we are playing a part in creatinga safe and secure community.
In addition to stockpiling provisions such as water, food,emergency toilets, and blankets, we also have prepared publicbenches that transform into cooking stoves and manhole toilets
for those who have difficulty returning home. At Hareza Towerand Tokyo Tatemono Brillia HALL, people who have difficulty
returning home can stay for up to three days from the time ofthe disaster until they canreturn home whentransportation resumes. Inaddition, as the facility
manager, we haveestablished an appropriate
communication system with
Toshima Ward so that we canprovide relevant information

Formation of a general incorporated association toaccelerate urban development

The Tokyo Tatemono Group’s approach to urban
development that contributes to solving social issues

In June 2018, we established Hareza Ikebukuro Area
Management, a general incorporated association focused on
activities that contribute to the vibrancy and appeal of HarezaIkebukuro and its surrounding area.
The association uses the event space in Hareza Ikebukuro
to collaborate with existing events and attract new events. By
combining new elements with the culture rooted in Ikebukuro, itstrives to further enhance the area’s energy and attractiveness.
We have also been entrusted with the designated managementof Naka-Ikebukuro Park, which is owned by Toshima Ward. In
addition to maintenance and management work, we organize
events and maintain and operate a café. We will work to ensure
the effective use of roads and parks, which are governmentassets. In addition to this, we will manage the area in a waythat helps enhance its value, cooperating with the eighttheaters, with companies located nearby, and with local town
and shopping associations.

The urban development at the Hareza Ikebukuro complex isbased on our long-term vision of urban development that
contributes to solving social issues.
Erecting a building is the beginning of urban development,
not the end. Increasing the value of the development area willin turn lead to the sustainable growth of our business activities.
We will continue to work with various stakeholders to solve
social issues and improve the attractiveness of the area.
