Mitsui Fudosan trials a station-front "street plaza" ahead of its Tama outlet rebuild
Mitsui Fudosan has signed onto a five-week pedestrian experiment outside Minami-Osawa Station with Hachioji City and Tokyo Metropolitan University, laying public-realm groundwork ahead of its rebuild of Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami-Osawa.
Mitsui Fudosan has signed a joint research agreement with Hachioji City and Tokyo Metropolitan University to run a social experiment turning the forecourt of Minami-Osawa Station, on the Keio Sagamihara Line, into what the three parties call a michi-hiroba (a lingering "street plaza") rather than a space people simply pass through, the developer said.
