Property Report Explores: NRE excellence in Japan

Recently, Property Report Philippines had the unique opportunity to join FNG in Japan, exploring NRE various developments that will serve as inspirations for local projects. This firsthand experience provided invaluable insights into the meticulous planning and innovative design strategies employed in Japan, which are set to transform the real estate landscape in the Philippines.

Intentional design

In the bustling heart of Tokyo, innovative design, sustainability, and mindful living stand as hallmarks of urban excellence. Developments like Shibaura, Proud, and Kameido Clock are prime examples of these principles, deeply embedded in Japanese real estate projects and now finding a new home in the Philippines. Tokyo’s urban planning ethos revolves around creating spaces that foster a harmonious balance between people and their environment. This approach is evident in the careful planning of green spaces, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and the integration of natural elements into urban architecture. The result is a community that not only thrives on modern conveniences but also prioritizes the well-being of its residents and the planet.

Kaizen Philosophy in Proud Developments

The Shibaura project, led by Nomura Real Estate Development, aims to transform Tokyo’s waterfront into a new urban center featuring residential, commercial, and office spaces, alongside public parks and amenities. The project’s centerpiece includes two 230-meter-tall towers, one of which will house a luxury Fairmont hotel with stunning views of Tokyo Bay and Tokyo Tower. Building S (Phase I) is set for completion in February 2025, while Building N (Phase II) will start in 2027 and finish by March 2031.

The development will also introduce a new transportation hub connecting the area with trains, buses, and water taxis. Additionally, the “TOKYO WORKation” concept will provide flexible workspaces that blend traditional office settings with remote work advantages, promoting a sustainable work-life balance and economic growth in the Shibaura area.
