TOKYO, Japan - January 22, 2021 - DAIKYO INCORPORATED (“DAIKYO”) announced that tenants can begin moving in to its Lions Forsia Akihabara East and Lions Forsia Tsukiji Station rental condominiums towards end of January.

As work styles such as teleworking diversify, there is a growing need for homes to offer comfortable work spaces. For this reason, DAIKYO is offering unit plans tailored to teleworking in some of its one-bedroom units at these rental condominiums.
Lions Forsia Akihabara East is located six minutes on foot from Akihabara Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line; it offers a wide variety of unit plans, including one-bedroom units with a kitchen; one-bedroom units with a kitchen and dining area; one-bedroom units with a kitchen, dining, and living area; and two-bedroom units with a kitchen, dining, and living area. Wall-mounted storage rails have been installed in five of the condominium’s 38 units. These unique wall-mounted rails enable tenants to create their own work spaces by attaching and removing shelves and desks.
Lions Forsia Tsukiji Station is situated two minutes on foot from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line; it occupies an extremely convenient location, with tenants able to access multiple train lines. Of the 37 apartments in this condominium, 10 have been equipped with a wall-mounted desk. The desk tops stand at the standard office desk height of 70 cm, while two shelves located above the desk can be used for printers and other work peripherals.
Going forward, DAIKYO will continue to create comfortable homes that cater to the needs of its customers.
1. About the work spaces
（1）Approximately 80% of survey respondents work at home, with concerns about how to secure work spaces
DAIKYO’s rental condominiums primarily comprise one-bedroom units. COVID-19 has led to a rapid increase in the number of people working from home, and survey results show that approximately 80% of respondents work from home, with the majority working from home at least once a week.
Feedback from employees both at DAIKYO and other companies who have worked from home, includes the following: “I want a dedicated work space at home,” “I want to separate the work space from non-work spaces in my house,” “My desk is too small,” and “I want somewhere to put my monitor and printer.”
* Outline of survey
Question: Since the Japanese government declared a State of Emergency on April 7, 2020, have you worked from home? If yes, how frequently have you worked from home?
Survey regions: Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama Prefectures (excludes some areas)
Survey respondents: 935 men and women between the ages of 25 and 69, who are considering purchasing an apartment in a newly built condominium within the next three years
Survey period: May 29–31, 2020
Survey contractor: Macromill,Inc.

（2）Lions Forsia Akihabara East:
Wall-mounted storage rails enable tenants to respond flexibly to changes in lifestyles
Wall-mounted storage rails enable tenants to create their own work spaces by installing desk tops, shelves, and hanging racks. A desk top and shelf can be combined for use as an L-shaped desk, for example, while hanging racks are also available in preparation for the post-COVID age. In this way, tenants can use the wall-mounted storage rails not only to fashion work spaces, but also extremely flexible storage spaces.
（3） Lions Forsia Tsukiji Station:
Wall-mounted desks help enable tenants to focus in limited apartment spaces
At Lions Forsia Tsukiji Station, 86 cm wide, 58 cm deep, and 70 cm tall desks have been installed in spaces originally designed for storage. In this way, DAIKYO has sought to create environments that enable tenants to focus on their work, without taking up precious floor space. The two shelves located above the desk are height-adjustable, and can be used to store printers, documents, and other work peripherals.
