Falsification of Structural Strength Reports by the Aneha Architectural Design Office

Following news reports that began on November 17, 2005, concerning the falsification of structural strength reports by the Aneha Architectural Design Office (Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture), NTT Urban Development conducted internal investigations. These investigations confirmed that NTT Urban Development has had no business relationships with the Aneha Architectural Design Office or the other six organizations that have been named in the case.

NTT Urban Development's condominiums that are for sale, under construction, have been sold in the past and rental condominiums that the company currently owns have undergone various inspections by inspection organizations, design offices and construction companies, and their quality has been verified by our own in-house architectural engineers. Furthermore, as the real estate company of the NTT Group we have employed technical experts specializing in architecture, construction and design since the era of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Public Corporation. We have inherited a tradition for highly reliable building construction, which we continue to uphold through buildings that are durable and of a verified quality level that meets all legal requirements and standards, including the Building Standard Law.
