■Features of this property
[Five Strengths - 1] A space where you'll want to gather, where you can feel both energetic and relaxed
Each tenant-only floor (3rd to 11th floors) has a large private terrace, fostering communication that only an open space like an office can provide.In addition, ceiling and floor coverings have been kept to a minimum within the floors, creating office specifications that emphasize a high degree of freedom and allow each tenant to easily express their own unique style.
[Five Strengths - 2] Diverse spaces beyond your private space
There is a shared lounge and terrace on the second floor that can be used as a place to chat or take a break after a meeting.The rooftop terrace also provides an environment where you can feel the fresh air on the grass and refresh yourself, and can also be rented out exclusively for workplace events.
[Five Strengths - 3] Dining space that fosters deeper social interaction
We have set up a dining area on the first floor to encourage conversations that go beyond everyday work. Eating and drinking together during lunch and breaks will help deepen friendships between employees.
Furthermore, by making it possible to use the building's office entrance and restaurant entrance as one, rather than separating them, it is expected that visitors and residents will be able to move between the offices and restaurants, and that the energy within the building will spill out into the neighborhood from the entrance.
[Five Strengths - 4] A workplace that can be flexibly moved in and expanded according to size and timing
<Ready-to-use setup floor>
The third and eleventh floors are set-up floors where construction has already been completed and furniture and dedicated Wi-Fi have been installed, making them suitable for the needs of start-up companies and others, as they can begin operations immediately upon moving in.
The floor is designed with furniture and fixtures that create diverse value from gathering together, including an area for multiple people to brainstorm ideas, a pair work area where people can work one-on-one while interacting, an area away from their desks where people can casually chat, and a soundproof conference room.
<Expandable space to quickly respond to needs>
The second floor has a shared conference room and solo booths. As long as you have a smartphone or PC, you can make reservations anytime, anywhere through the reservation system, supporting flexible working styles.
Additionally, by utilizing small office sections with a capacity of 4 to 6 people, we can accommodate needs for expansion, such as launching a new project or temporarily increasing staff.
<Mutual use of properties in the owns series>
The shared facility reservation system will be implemented in future owns series properties scheduled for completion after this property. Residents of owns properties will be able to use the same reservation system to reserve shared facilities in other owns properties.
[Five Strengths - 5] A sustainable environment that connects to the future and allows for fulfilling work
<ZEB Ready Certification Acquisition>
This property has been awarded the highest rating (5 stars) under the Building Energy Efficiency Labeling System (BELS) and has also obtained ZEB Ready certification.
owns has also acquired "ZEB Ready" certification for owns Shinbashi, owns Nihonbashi, and owns Hatchobori, which are due to be completed in the future, and the entire series will contribute to reducing environmental impact and realizing a carbon-free society.
<Promotion of a plastic-free society>
The property's entry and exit security system does not use plastic cards for authentication, but instead uses a smartphone app and facial recognition system.
<Sustainable building specifications>
From the perspective of reducing waste, at owns we leave the ceilings and floors exposed and keep the interior finishing materials to a minimum to avoid the common situation that occurs when moving out of an office, where new ceiling and floor materials are removed and discarded when the occupant moves in.
In addition, rather than scrapping all of the demolished materials from the old building that once stood on this property, some of the piles have been reused.
Additionally, we are working towards realizing a sustainable, carbon-neutral society, for example by incorporating recycled fabric made from non-standard products into room name signs.
