JPR and its asset management company, Tokyo Tatemono Realty Investment Management, Inc. (TRIM), believe that developing the communities where properties are located will enhance the value of owned assets. As a good real estate owner, JPR strives to engage in dialogue with local residents, offer its land and facilities as venues for people to interact, and establish roots in the community.

Example property: Tokyo Square Garden

Tokyo Square Garden has received excellent evaluations from impartial third parties as an eco-friendly building. The Kyobashi-no-oka (a multi-layered greening space extending from first to fourth floors to approximately 3,000 square meters) provides a relaxing environment in the Kyobashi area, which has very little green space. Meanwhile, the Kyobashi Environment Station, which works to reduce CO2 emissions in the surrounding area, houses multilingual medical facilities and child-rearing support facilities as a well providing the following social features:

Serving as temporary facilities to shelter stranded people
Serving as warehouses to store supplies during disasters
Providing emergency power supply in the event of power failure
Providing barrier-free access walkways
Providing support programs for sustainability-driven start-ups

Example property: Oval Court Ohsaki Mark West

As part of its interactions with building tenants and local residents, satsuma-imo potatoes have been cultivated on the roof of Oval Court Ohsaki, organized mainly by the building's management association. During the height of summer, the plants sprout and cover the roof. Through transpiration and heat-shielding, the leaves help to alleviate the heat island effect. In addition, "Green Potato" harvesting sessions are held to collect potatoes grown on the roof, with building tenants and children from neighborhood daycares taking part in the activity. Some of the harvested potatoes are cooked in the building's cafeteria and served at a dinner for the participants, who greatly appreciate it.

Example property: Yume-ooka Office Tower

Through the management association, Yume-ooka Office Tower, in collaboration with other condominium owners, provides financial support to set up illuminations in winter for the enjoyment of local residents. To celebrate the event's 20th anniversary in 2016, the Yume-ooka Festival was held at the rooftop garden. It was attended by around 6,000 people, including local residents and building tenants. In addition, the building has undertaken various activities to support the community, including providing display areas for fire-prevention awareness posters created by children from the ward, a bloodmobile station, and an event venue for use by community development groups.

Morning Clean-up Activities

TRIM, together with Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd., its sponsor, periodically conducts cleanup activities in the Nihonbashi, Yaesu and Kyobashi area, where its head office is located. Recently, more than 200 volunteers primarily from the Tokyo Tatemono Group have participated in volunteer activities in an effort to improve the look of the area.
TRIM will continue to make contributions to regional communities through exchanges with local residents and town beatification activities.

Sanno Matsuri

Sanno Matsuri is a festival at Hie Shrine. In the Edo period, it was one of the few festivals called Tenka-Matsuri that were watched by the shogun. This festival is one of the three great festivals in Japan, together with Osaka Tenjin Matsuri and Kyoto Gion Matsuri.
Partly because it is held every other year, Sanno Matsuri is a major festival. The mikoshi (portable shrine) of Kyobashi 3-chome, where Tokyo Square Garden owned by JPR is located, also parades through the town during this festival.
Officers and employees of TRIM, which is a member of the Tokyo Tatemono Group as the sponsor, participate in the festival and warm it up with people from the local neighborhood association.
