TOKYO, Japan - September 15, 2022 - DAIKYO INCORPORATED (“DAIKYO”) announced today that the condominium gallery of Lions Minamisenju Grand Place (total of 181 units on 14 above-ground floors), a condominium under development in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo, will be open to the public from September 23, 2022.
Lions Minamisenju Grand Place is a 13-minute walk from Minami-senju Station on the JR Joban Line, Tsukuba Express, and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, and a 9-minute walk from Minowa Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, providing direct access to Tokyo Station in 15 minutes and to major central Tokyo stations via Hibiya Line. Facilities such as large-scale commercial facilities are concentrated in the area in front of the station due to redevelopment, as well as the ward's general sports center, educational facilities, and a historic shopping district, all within a 5-minute walking distance from the station, creating a rich living environment.
The property consists of two buildings with 181 units facing southwest and southeast, providing plenty of sunlight. There are a total of 19 types of floor plans from 1LDK to 4LDK (54.58 m2 to 86.28 m2) with an open view, excellent lighting and ventilation due to the surrounding buildings being mostly low-rise. To accomodate new normal lifestyles, Cookpad mart, a service where residents can order ingredients from a dedicated app and collect them in the condominium, as well as an electric car sharing service, will be introduced.
In addition, a rooftop terrace with abundant greenery will be provided as a “third place-like” common space where residents can spend their time in comfort. The rooftop terrace includes a lounge that provides a spacious workspace, and another atrium lounge is located next to the entrance.
ZEH-M Oriented specifications have been adopted and third-party certification in the BELS (Building Energy-efficiency Labeling System) has been acquired. The property provides a more comfortable living space that is both environmentally and economically friendly.
DAIKYO will continue to create comfortable homes that cater to the needs of its customers.
■ Features of Lions Minamisenju Grand Place
1. An area with good access to the city center, having evolved through redevelopment to become a comfortable place to live
The property has access to Minami-senju Station on the JR Joban Line, Tsukuba Express, and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, providing good access to Ueno, Tokyo, and Shinagawa stations. The surrounding area is an area where nature and the city are in harmony with large-scale commercial facilities and large-scale parks, which have been established through redevelopment around the area in front of the station. In addition to a supermarket convenient for daily shopping within a 6-minute walk, the Arakawa Sports Center, with its heated swimming pool and training room, is located across from the property.
2. Exterior design
The land plan features a tree-lined Senjukando with no power poles that leads from the station to the property as well as a green space where the four seasons can be felt with a sense of continuity on adjacent streets. The building exterior, consisting of 10-story and 14-story buildings, has a modern and relaxed design that is in harmony with the blended city which combines sophisticated urban landscapes with downtown culture.
3. Arrangement of “third place-like” common spaces
(1) Open rooftop terrace
A spacious rooftop terrace is located on the west side of the 10th floor and features views of TOKYO SKYTREE (R) and other Tokyo landmarks. The terrace is designed to resemble the banks of the Sumida River and allows residents to enjoy the breeze of the river while spending their time freely in an open terrace surrounded by greenery.
(2) Two lounges
There is lounge beside the 11th floor rooftop terrace that can be used as a workspace as well as an atrium lounge next to the entrance on the 1st floor. These lounges are open and luxurious spaces with trees that reflect changing seasons.
4. Floor plans
There are a total of 19 types of floor plans from 1LDK to 4LDK (54.58m2 to 86.28m2) to choose from. A variety of floor plans are available, such as those with abundant storage space including shoe and walk-in closets as well as units with roof balconies.
All units are equipped with sensors that automatically detect and ventilate carbon dioxide levels in the room and some units have a study corner adjacent to the master bedroom in order to accommodate new lifestyles.
5. Facilities that provide a safe and secure home
“Return home email notification” has been adopted, sending email notifications to a designated email address when family members return home and unlock the auto-lock at the entrance. IoT functions have also been included, allowing remote control of, floor heating, hot water supply for baths and so on using an app.
6. Facilities that accommodate new normal lifestyles
Cookpad mart, a communal refrigerator located in the common area where residents can receive food ordered via a dedicated app, and an electric vehicle car sharing service that can be shared by residents have been introduced.
7. Adoption of ZEH-M Oriented specifications
ZEH-M Oriented specifications have been adopted throughout the residential building and third-party certification in the BELS (Building Energy-efficiency Labeling System) has been acquired. Materials with high thermal insulation have been used in the ceilings, LOW-E double-glazing has been used for windows that are exposed directly to outside air, and floor heating has been installed in the master bedroom to prevent changes in room temperature. In addition, the use of high-efficiency equipment such as water heaters, high-insulation bathtubs and LED lighting achieves significant energy savings (34% reduction in primary energy consumption in the residential building).

In ORIX Group's real estate business, DAIKYO INCORPORATED and Anabuki Construction, which are responsible for the condominium housing development business, have experience with a total of 28 condominiums with ZEH-M specifications (based on completed construction, as of September 2022).
