At The Lions Gallery Shinjuku, visitors can see scale models and concept rooms of properties on sale in Tokyo. There are also areas for using virtual reality (VR) to view these properties and negotiating deals. The concept rooms showcase residences under THE LIONS brand based on the themes of sophistication, luxury, modern design, and curves.

The first property being showcased by the gallery is The Lions Setagaya Hachimanyama, located a 3-minute walk from Keio Line’s Hachimanyama Station and situated in a category I low-rise exclusive residential district that is a quiet residential area rich with greenery. Through measures such as improving the building’s thermal insulation and energy conservation performance as well as installing solar power generation facilities on the roof, this property achieves primary energy consumption reduction of at least 120% for all residential units against the standard level of primary energy consumption. It is the first condominium in Japan*3 to meet both the ZEH-M standard for the condominium and the ZEH standard for all residential units. The property’s design concept is “The Life of Modern Garden City.” The entrance lounge on the ground floor has large glass windows that let in sunlight filtered through the trees and a courtyard has been placed at the space in the center surrounded by three buildings to create a design where the property blends into the surrounding trees and rich greenery.

2.Key Features of The Lions Setagaya Hachimanyama
■Reducing annual utility costs by approximately 167,000 yen* through energy conservation and energy creation
In addition to high thermal insulation performance and ENE-FARM, which has high power generation efficiency, all units of the property are installed with their own solar panels and storage batteries. Combining energy conservation and energy creation achieves primary energy consumption reduction of at least 120% for all residential units. Therefore, it is expected to reduce annual utility costs by approximately 167,000 yen when calculated based on a model residence.

* Calculated based on estimated utility costs for Type I (2nd floor) at “The Lions Setagaya Hachimanyama” compared with a general residential property under similar conditions.

■Maintaining an indoor temperature of at least 18°C even in winter
The property pursues high thermal insulation performance and maintains room temperatures of at least 18°C even in winter. This achieves living that is always comfortable and pleasant, and also helps to reduce heat shock in winter.

■Using stored energy to allow the use of lifelines even during disasters
DAIKYO’s original disaster prevention system “SONA-L SYSTEM” was adopted for the condominium. Solar power generation facilities for the common areas and individual residential units are installed on the roof of the property. A battery and household fuel cell cogeneration system (“ENE-FARM”) are installed for each exclusive area, while there is a large storage battery and a well for the common areas. Therefore, even if all lifelines—electricity, gas, and water—are cut off during disasters, it is possible to continue living in the homes for at least a week.
When there is a power outage, air conditioning, ceiling lights, refrigerators, up to four smartphones, and other appliances can be used in the exclusive areas by supplying electricity using the solar power generation facilities, storage batteries, and ENE-FARM during the day, and using the storage batteries and ENE-FARM at night. In addition, besides lighting at common areas, electricity is also supplied to elevators, water pumps, and other facilities based on timer control.

■The Life of Modern Garden City
The property’s design concept is “The Life of Modern Garden City.” Seeking sophisticated living in a green garden, the property creates a living environment rich in greenery befitting the location of Hachimanyama.
The property’s design concept is “The Life of Modern Garden City.” The entrance lounge on the ground floor has large glass windows that let in sunlight filtered through the trees and a courtyard has been placed at the space in the center surrounded by three buildings to create a design where the property blends into the surrounding trees and rich greenery.

3.About THE LIONS
In April 2023, DAIKYO’s condominium brand Lions Mansion—which had existed for 55 years since the company started business—was rebranded to THE LIONS. With “Life has value” as the brand statement, THE LIONS will create new value in the lives of its customers by providing not only an abundance of physical commodities but also a good life for the people who live in its condominiums.
Together with the rebranding, DAIKYO launched and is carrying out a new DAIKYO NEXT ONE PROJECT in which all employees will participate in order to build and promote THE LIONS brand. This is a project that investigates, creates, and communicates, where employees anticipate future needs of residents while incorporating the knowledge of outside experts to give shape to ideas not found in other residential brands. Through this, THE LIONS will transform into a brand that takes lifestyle one step beyond to one that people desire.
