Characteristics of MITSUI LINK-Lab TOYOCHO 1 (tentative name)
The MITSUI LINK-Lab series thus far has been developed targeting the life sciences, but for this project, the characteristics of an industrial area will be utilized so that it can be used by customers in a broader range of business domains. Specifically, the building is being designed to allow large-scale equipment to be easily brought in and set up. In addition, it will accommodate large-capacity electricity supply and efficient duct routes to comprehensively support the R&D needs of not only the life sciences but also diverse business domains that include semiconductors, energy, food products, chemistry, and space.
MITSUI LINK-Lab TOYOCHO 1 (tentative name) is located a 10-minute walk from Toyocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. It is around a 10-minute train ride to the Otemachi area, offering smooth access to the city center. In addition, taking advantage of its location facing the Shiohama Canal, the design will feature a waterfront terrace and include a side entrance accessible from the canal side, creating a sense of openness.

About Life Science Innovation Network Japan Inc. (LINK-J)
LINK-J is a general incorporated association established in March 2016 by Mitsui Fudosan and volunteers from academia and industry.

Sustainability in the Mitsui Fudosan Group
Based on the meaning of its “& mark,” “to generate new value with society through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating,” the Mitsui Fudosan Group views the “creation of social value” and the “creation of economic value” as two wheels of a cart. Accordingly, we believe that the creation of social value leads to the creation of economic value, and that this economic value then creates even greater social value.
Moreover, we identified six Group Materiality priority issues when formulating our new management philosophy in April 2024. These Group Materiality priority issues are (1) Contribute to industrial competitiveness, (2) Coexist with the environment, (3) Health and Vitality, (4) Safety and security, (5) Diversity and inclusion, and (6) Compliance and governance. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will work to address each of the materialities through its core business activities and contribute to the promotion of sustainability.
