Toyota Motor Corporation has announced plans to sign a new agreement with Keikyu Corporation, building upon their 2020 agreement to jointly operate the development of the Shinagawa Station West Exit area. The forthcoming agreement will encompass the transfer of a portion of land within the area, as well as collaborative efforts in the construction and operation of a planned building aimed at fostering urban development.
Scheduled for completion in the fiscal year 2030, Toyota’s new Tokyo Head Office will be situated in the vicinity of the Shinagawa Station West Exit. This strategic location is expected to witness enhancements in urban functionalities, particularly with the advent of the maglev line and other forthcoming projects.
Amidst the transformative shift in the automotive industry catalyzed by CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) and other technological innovations, Toyota is undergoing a metamorphosis into a mobility company with a mission to spread smiles and happiness through diverse mobility services worldwide. In line with this vision, Toyota aims to cultivate new value by integrating mobility with social systems, striving for sustainable coexistence between humanity and the planet, including achieving carbon neutrality.
The new Tokyo Head Office will serve as a pivotal hub for spearheading Toyota’s endeavors in these emerging domains. It will function as a collaborative space where a diverse array of partners can converge, equipped with software development facilities and resources necessary for demonstrations, thus fostering innovation and synergistic partnerships.
This initiative underscores Toyota’s commitment to pioneering new frontiers in mobility and urban development, positioning itself as a leader in shaping the future of transportation and societal integration. The collaboration with Keikyu Corporation marks a significant step towards realizing Toyota’s vision of a sustainable and harmonious mobility ecosystem.
