Tokyu Fudosan spearheads transformation towards 2020 Olympic Games
The much-anticipated 2020 Olympic Games are set to showcase Japan's transformation since the country first hosted the international sporting event in 1964. Much like athletes training to earn the Olympic gold, various industry champions are gearing up to develop and redevelop Japan's urban landscape in time for the influx of global guests - and among the frontrunners is property developer Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Corporation.
The much-anticipated 2020 Olympic Games are set to showcase Japan's transformation since the country first hosted the international sporting event in 1964. Much like athletes training to earn the Olympic gold, various industry champions are gearing up to develop and redevelop Japan's urban landscape in time for the influx of global guests - and among the frontrunners is property developer Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Corporation.
Tokyu Fudosan enjoys a proven track record particularly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, covering a wide-ranging business domain - from residential, office, commercial and senior-oriented spaces to retail, agency, and management and renovation sectors. Spearheading the Shibuya Station area redevelopment and Ginza 5-Chome construction projects, it is confident that its large-scale developments in the run-up to the Olympics will translate into real appeal for investors and tourists alike.
"We take pride in making significant contributions to the revitalisation of Tokyo and Japan as a whole," says Kanazashi Kiyoshi, Tokyu Fudosan president and representative director. "One of our most important priorities ahead of the Olympics is to turn Tokyo into a city people want to visit. We believe improving these strategic areas will help make the city more appealing and highly entertaining."
Beyond 2020, Tokyu Fudosan is also committed to helping Japan address bigger challenges such as a budget deficit and a declining population due to ageing demographics and dwindling birth rates. In confronting these issues,
the company believes it is important to make Tokyo a truly globalised city.
"To do that, we intend to push ahead with development, particularly in central parts of Tokyo, and to focus our attention on resolving social issues through our operations," Kiyoshi says. "The key is building on and keeping our customers' trust by seeing through their point of view, while constantly making value-added innovations."
Tokyu Fudosan marked its 60th anniversary in December with a renewed promise to keep its "enterprising challenging spirit" alive by continuing to provide high-quality products and services in line with the changing times and shifting customer needs, focusing primarily on aspects of everyday life.
"In response to the rapidly changing business environment and increasingly diverse customer needs, we will continue providing our customers the value they require through the combined strengths of Tokyu Fudosan and all of our group companies," Kiyoshi says. "Making the most of our wide-ranging business domain as a comprehensive real estate group, we are determined to strengthen our value chain further through group-wide collaboration - so that we can become customers' company of choice."
