■ Location

Tamachi M-SQUARE Garden is easily accessible by public transport. It is a three-minute walk from JR Tamachi Station and a two-minute walk from Mita Station on the Toei Mita Line.

JR Tamachi Station provides easy access to JR Shinagawa Station for changing to the Shinkansen and planned Linear Shinkansen. Mita Station provides direct access to Haneda Airport.

The area around JR Tamachi Station is a hub for major manufacturers as well as universities and other academic organizations that support and collaborate with growth companies. It is likely to continue being a hub for collaboration between industry and academia as well as growth companies. A number of redevelopment projects are also planned in the area, further adding to its growth potential.

  • Environmentally friendly energy-saving and energy-creating initiatives
    With the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by fiscal 2050, Mitsui Fudosan is running a range of environmental initiatives. We are seeking ZEB Ready* certification for Tamachi M-SQUARE Garden, which will be a first for a Mitsui Fudosan office building. To this end, LED lighting and motion sensors will be installed in communal areas, while LED lighting, daylight sensors, and highly efficient air conditioner outdoor units will be installed in exclusive areas, where the lighting intensity will be set at optimal levels. Furthermore, exterior design that helps reduce the environmental impact of perimeter zones will provide excellent environmental performance, reducing annual primary energy consumption by 50% or more compared with standard buildings of the same grade. Moreover, solar panels will be installed on-site to generate energy required for exterior lighting and other uses.

  • About ZEB Ready
    A zero energy building (ZEB) is a building that aims for net-zero energy consumption while providing a comfortable indoor environment. "ZEB Ready" means a building using advanced architectural designs that anticipate ZEB, with an exterior capable of high heat insulation and highly efficient, energy-saving equipment. It is defined as a building that reduces primary energy consumption by 50% or more from standard primary energy consumption (excluding renewable energy)

  • Spacious communal areas
    The building offers spacious communal areas, both indoors and outdoors, that provide office workers diverse work style options.
  1. Open space with abundant greenery
    To the east of the building will be an outdoor area spanning approximately 5,381 ft2 (500 m2) (roughly a third of the site area). Most of this area will be greened and equipped with outdoor furniture so that office workers can work or relax in comfort. Design of the space will lead to a lively area, which will include ensuring access for food trucks and integrated use of the communal lounge during events.

  1. Park Lounge facing lush, green outdoor space
    On the first floor, a glass sliding door will connect the open, comfortable communal lounge with the plaza. The lounge will be equipped with a diverse range of furniture that can be used in various settings, such as meetings (internal and with visitors) and solo work. A commercial zone adjacent to the communal lounge will create an extended space where people gather and mingle.

  1. Café space Sky Lounge, which can be used in conjunction with the outdoor area
    A café space that can be combined with an outdoor area will be located on the top floor (11F) for exclusive use by tenant company employees. With a fresh and expansive interior, the versatile café space is suitable for business and social meetings and other occasions as a "third place" away from the exclusive office space.

  • Latest technologies for living with and after COVID-19
    Against the backdrop of the spread of COVID-19, the building has adopted effective measures to prevent the main forms of transmission of COVID-19 (aerial droplets, aerosols, and direct contact). It provides a safe office space for workers living with and after COVID-19.
  1. Contactless elevators (direct contact transmission prevention)
    Buttons inside the elevators indicating floors and up/down will harness infrared beam sensor technology, making the journey from the building entrance to the entrance of the exclusive office space contactless.

  1. High-performancefilters (aerosol infection prevention)

Air conditioners in exclusive office spaces are fitted with high-performance filters that catch around 90% of droplets and droplet nuclei within a radius of 3.0-10.0 micrometers, which vastly increases the capture rate of viruses contained in droplets and droplet nuclei.

  1. Antibacterial parts and materials for toilet fittings (direct contact transmission prevention)
    Using antibacterial materials for items and places that many people touch (such as metal toilet fittings) is part of the building's program to minimize the spread of infection.

■ Other initiatives

  1. Adopted distinctive exterior design
    The building has a distinctive exterior design that expresses the individuality and diversity of growth companies. It also seeks to harmonize with the shopping area and nearby buildings with the use of warm colors that integrate well with the greenery of the plaza. It creates an airy, open effect in office spaces by the use of high sash windows, while keeping the aperture area to an optimal level to minimize the load on the air-conditioning system in exclusive office spaces.
  2. Open office space with highly flexible layout options (column-free space)
    A typical office floor has an exclusive area of around 7,857 ft2 (730 m2). The column-free office space is pleasant and spacious, allowing efficient layouts. The ceiling specification is a skeleton ceiling with a height of 2,800 mm, except for 10F which has a ceiling height of 3,200 mm. This provides an expansive, creative Labo space as seen in the offices of cutting-edge companies.
