Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei Inc. handled the architectural design and engineering work for the Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park GLOBAL RING, on which construction was completed in 2019. Centered on a Global Ring 35 meters in diameter and using a round pond that once existed there as a motif, this project created a new icon and flow of people in the city. Overseas, we received an order for the China–Japan (Qingdao) Regional Development Cooperation Zone Project in a joint venture with Nomura Research Institute, Ltd., and the Qingdao City Planning and Design Institute in Qingdao in Shandong Province, China. We will take advantage of receiving this order to expand overseas the leading-edge smart city initiatives we are implementing in the Marunouchi area.
