INDEX
There are cases when United Urban gets involved in development projects led by Marubeni, a sponsor of MRA, and its group companies as well other developers from the planning stage under the premise that the building will be reconstructed, renovated, or that United Urban will acquire preferential negotiation rights upon completion of the projects. In these cases, United Urban keeps the focus on profitability and quality that will enable the completed properties to obtain high environmental evaluations.
Major development projects that United Urban joined from the planning stage, then acquired after completion are as follows.
In cases where soil contamination is found at properties of United Urban, removal or containment of the contamination is taken in an appropriate manner. Also, for properties redeveloped on the site of factories, we strive to lower the impact in the neighborhood of the given properties by the continued monitoring of underwater purification.
Narumi Shopping Center was developed on the site of pottery manufacturing factory and consists of a large shopping center, a fitness club and a housing showroom. In accordance with the prevention plan for contaminated underwater set out by Nagoya City, United Urban monitors quality of purified water from the wells equipped with water pumping system.
With an operational policy of diversified investment, United Urban invests in mixed properties in CBD of regional cities. Mixed facilities in locations with high traffic convenience are able to fulfill multiple needs of users. As such, they not only provide convenience to the users but also decrease GHG emissions by curbing car exhaust and promoting compact cities.
Major mixed properties with three or more use types are as follows.
As a long-term landlord, United Urban has been using CAPEX and managing its assets with a consideration of environment. In case of a large renovation work at Shinsaibashi OPA Honkan in Osaka City, recyclable construction materials were used and a construction method to reduce industrial waste was applied. Also, the property was accepted for the “2021 Display Industry Award”, a commendation system that praises excellent display work contributing the improvement of living culture and the development of landscapes. We believes that this environment-friendly renovation work further nurtures bustle in the area.
