Urban regeneration

By investing in properties developed through urban regeneration projects, FRI is contributing to the revitalization of towns and communities, and to improved convenience for local residents.

LaLaport SHIN-MISATO

A development project at the site of a former freight car classification yard, which had seen no development for about 20 years, has given rise to a new lifestyle space for the town.

Musashino classification yard in Saitama prefecture was established in 1974 as a freight car classification yard between Misato Station and Yoshikawa Station. Subsequently, operations were discontinued in 1986, after which the site was not developed. In 2008, FRI’s sponsor, Mitsui Fudosan and other project partners brought about the rebirth of the 51.1 ha site of the classification yard as Shin-Misato LaLaCity, a large-scale urban complex. This new town comprises a large-scale retail facility zone and a residential zone, both of which were central to development that capitalized on an extensive plot of land.

Investment in redeveloped districts

FRI is reinvesting in properties that have already been developed, thereby contributing to the revitalization of towns and communities, and to improved convenience for local residents.
Furthermore, for the acquisition, FRI obtained real estate appraisal reports, engineering reports, etc. in addition to on-site inspections and investigations and disclosure materials from sellers, carried out investigations related to brown fields and hazardous substances, and confirmed appropriate measures had been taken for properties for which measures were necessary.

BRANCH Hakata Papillon Garden

FRI reacquired a property which had been a conventional roadside shopping mall with a parking lot as its focal point, and was reborn as a neighborhood shopping center that is highly migratory and has a sense of unity.

The previous facility had been developed on the former site of the Fukuoka factory of Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT), FRI’s former sponsor. 25 years had passed since it was built and the buildings were aging. In addition, changes to the surrounding environment created an opportunity, and a project to increase the value of the facility began in collaboration with Daiwa Lease Co., Ltd. FRI assigned the existing buildings to the Daiwa Lease, which then constructed new buildings (extension and reconstruction). Subsequently, FRI acquired the new buildings after construction was completed in 2019.

Summit Store Yokohama Okano (land interest)

This property was built on a former factory site as part of redevelopment of the area.
Although minor soil contamination was found in this area in early stage of the redevelopment project, we acquired this property after confirming that appropriate measures were taken on brownfield.
