■Features of Surpass Maizuru 1-Chome Residence
1. A location that brings the liveliness, nature, and history of Oita closer

Surpass Maizuru 1-Chome Residence is located along Showa-dori Avenue with the Oita City Hall and Oita Joshi Park. It is a nine-minute ride on the Oita Bus from the Maizuru-machi bus stop—a two-minute walk from the property—to Oita Station on the JR Nippo Main Line, Kyudai Main Line, and Hohi Main Line. Alternatively, Oita Station can be reached with an approximately 20-minute walk from the property. In front of Oita Station, there are many convenient facilities such as AMU PLAZA OITA and Cent Porta Chuomachi. On the other hand, the Oita River banks and Oita Joshi Park, a three-minute walk from the property, are places for relaxation filled with history, atmosphere, and the richness of nature.

2. Floor plans
All units face south, with four units per floor, ensuring a spacious layout, and a total of nine floor plans of 3LDK and 4LDK (66.13 m2 to 84.47 m2) are available. Showa-dori Avenue on the south side is approximately 36 meters long, allowing for an open layout that provides brightness and spaciousness.

3. Facial recognition security service combined with unlocking of delivery box
The condominium is equipped as standard with “Surpass Escort Service + F-ace,” a security service that leverages facial recognition technologies. This service allows residents to disarm security at the common entrance and elevator on the first floor by facial recognition without using a key or card, and enables the elevator to move automatically to the floor of their residence. The delivery box can also be unlocked by facial recognition. Furthermore, each unit is locked with a digital door lock*2 as a standard feature, the first time for Surpass condominiums in Oita. No physical key is required to unlock the door, allowing residents to choose to unlock the door using a smartphone, IC card key, or PIN code. This latest technology provides a secure and convenient lifestyle with minimal concerns about the loss of keys or cards, or identity theft.

4. Adoption of ZEH-M Oriented specifications
This is the third building in Oita to adopt the ZEH-M Oriented specifications and obtain third-party certification under the Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System (BELS). Materials with high thermal insulation have been used for the floors and ceilings and LOW-E double-glazing has been used for windows that are exposed directly to outside air without changes in room temperature. In addition, the use of high-efficiency equipment such as high-insulation bathtub and LED lighting achieves significant energy savings (at least 20% reduction compared to energy conservation standards).

<DAIKYO and Anabuki Construction's Experience in ZEH-M Specifications>
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 26 condominiums with ZEH-M specifications (based on completed construction, as of July 2022).
In July 2018, DAIKYO reduced primary energy consumption by more than 75% in Lions Ashiya Grandfort, becoming the first company in Japan to receive a BELS evaluation certificate* as Nearly ZEH-M.
The two companies will promote the development with specifications that meet the ZEH-M Oriented standard as a general principle, aiming to enhance environmental consideration and to improve the quality of living.
