For Immediate Release
July 28, 2017
Fujita Corporation Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd.
Development/Operation Led by Japanese Public-Private Partnership Launching of Large-Scale Complex Development Project in the Center of Yangon, Myanmar First Investment Project Authorized by Myanmar Investment LawFujita Corporation (headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoji Okumura; hereafter, "Fujita") and Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Chief Executive Officer: Hitoshi Nomura; hereafter, "Tokyo Tatemono") hereby announce that they, along with Yangon Technical & Trading Co., Ltd. (hereafter, "YTTC"), an affiliate of Ayeyar Hinthar Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereafter, "Ayeyar Hinthar"), Myanmar's leading company group, have obtained local investment permission and launched a large-scale complex development project in the center of Yangon, Myanmar.
The project itself is for development of a large-scale complex involving new development and operation of a high-grade office building, commercial facilities and a hotel on the former site of the military museum (approximately 16,000 m2) located in the center of Yangon, scheduled for completion in 2020. The total floor space is approximately 92,000 m2 and the maximum total cost is expected to reach around USD332.5 million (around JPY37.7 billion).
The project site is located at the intersection of Shwedagon Pagoda Road and U Wisara Road close to Yangon Central Railway Station and enjoys a high scarcity value. Being relatively close to Shwedagon Pagoda, a symbol of Myanmar, the area is expected to further develop in the future as the center of business, commerce and tourism not only for Yangon, but for all of Myanmar.
Upon advancing the project, the Japanese corporate alliance comprised of Fujita, Tokyo Tatemono and Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takuma Hatano; hereafter, "JOIN") plans to establish a local project company with YTTC through a Japanese corporate alliance SPC in Singapore. The maximum total investment amount is scheduled to be around USD150.8 million (around JPY17.1 billion), majority of stake in the local project company.
Fujita will be in charge of planning and construction for the project and Tokyo Tatemono will undertake operation/management of the office and commercial facilities. The hotel operation will be entrusted to Hotel Okura Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshihiro Ogita; hereafter "Hotel Okura"). As such, the project will be for development of a large-scale complex led by Japanese public and private sectors from development to the operation throughout.
This is the first project to be granted investment permission under the Myanmar Investment Law.
Myanmar has maintained high economic growth rates with the opening of markets and introduction of foreign currencies since transitioning to civilian rule in 2011, and is expected to further develop going forward with the launch of a new administration and the lifting of economic sanctions by the U.S. in 2016. Currently in Yangon, while a high growth potential is projected over the medium to long term, there is an insufficient number of existing facilities to supply high-grade office/hotel services. We aim to contribute to the economic development of Yangon and Myanmar over the medium to long term by promoting the project under unified cooperation between the Japanese government and private sectors, as well as by capitalizing on development/operational expertise, product planning capability and high technological competence fostered by Fujita and Tokyo Tatemono.
