In June 2011, MJS marked the 10th anniversary of its inception. In fact, it has been more than one hundred years since Mitsubishi Estate established an architectural design and engineering division. Leveraging its long-nurtured knowledge and expertise and further refining its design and engineering capabilities, MJS will continue its involvement with the development of urban districts and buildings that achieve safety and security and remain attractive for generations to come.

Major projects completed by MJS during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 included the JR Hakata City (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), new office buildings for Lower House Diet Members (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), the Azabudai Park House (Minato Ward, Tokyo), the Gakushuin Girl's Junior & Senior High School Main Building (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo) and the Marui-Nakano Project (Nakano Ward, Tokyo). In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, MJS plans to complete such projects as the Tokyo Central Post Office "JP Tower" Reconstruction Project (tentative name; Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo), the Palace Hotel Reconstruction Project (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) and the Toyo Bunko Reconstruction Project (Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo). MJS will aggressively pursue increased architectural design and engineering orders for new construction and renovation projects. Simultaneously, it will work to realize truly effective eco-friendly buildings while further strengthening already established operations in such fields as construction management and district heating and cooling facilities.

Overseas, taking advantage of the business network that it has expanded through the Shanghai Representative Office, which opened in 2007, MJS aims to secure a greater number of orders in China by leveraging its track record in urban and architectural design. To this end, MJS plans to launch a local subsidiary in Shanghai in 2011. Also, with Mitsubishi Estate's Overseas Project Office--established in the previous fiscal year--as the core driver, MJS and MEC Design International will work together to expand their operations in East Asia by widely disseminating their capabilities in architectural and urban design as well as their eco-friendly, energy-saving technologies.

JR Hakata City
MJS undertook a project to reconstruct the JR Hakata Station building in line with the launch of the complete Kyushu Shinkansen line. Through this project aimed at enhancing the station building's functions as a transportation hub and a shopping center, a multipurpose station complex has been established, appropriate to its place as the "face" of the Kyushu region and the "gateway" to Japan from Asia.

Gakushuin Girl's Junior & Senior High School Main Building
This project involved the reconstruction of a classroom building for Gakushuin Girl's Junior & Senior High School, which has a 125-year history. The new classroom building has been rebuilt using a feminine, elegant design. Through this project, classroom functions, which had been previously divided into four different buildings, have been gathered into one building. Also, MJS has incorporated eco-friendly features into this highly functional school building to satisfy recent societal needs.
