**I. Features of the Kohoku New Town Kitayamata Project**
This project is located within a 9-minute walk from "Kitayamata" Station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Green Line, offering a living environment unique to Kohoku New Town, rich in large parks, green spaces, and educational facilities. All homes secure a site area exceeding 160㎡ and a building area exceeding 120㎡, adopting a flexible floor plan that can adapt to changes in family composition and lifestyle stages, featuring a large living space centered around an LDK exceeding 20 tatami mats (*1) and a multi-purpose space.
The specific features of this detached housing project are as follows:
* **Detached homes that pursue value and quality in both land and building, not prioritizing cost or location alone.**
* **Detached homes from a LONGLIFE perspective, equipped with a 60-year free inspection system (*2), a maximum 60-year warranty (*3) for structural components and parts preventing rainwater intrusion, and a 30-year buyback guarantee (*4).**
* **Detached homes that enhance added value and asset value through the formation of an excellent townscape with unique exterior and landscaping proposals.**
*1. By integrating the LDK with adjacent spaces (such as BLANK), the total area exceeds 20 tatami mats.

*4. For homes less than 10 years old, an assessment will be made with a minimum of 90% of the eligible construction costs at the time of new construction under the Sumstock assessment. For homes 11 to 30 years old, an assessment will be made under more favorable conditions than our general properties.

**III. Background**
In recent years, due to rising land and construction costs and concentrated investment demand in urban areas, leading to soaring condominium prices, interest in detached houses in urban and suburban areas has resurged due to perceived price burdens and living space limitations. This has led home builders to focus on detached housing projects in urban locations.
Against this backdrop, our company, which has traditionally focused on custom-built homes, has decided to fully launch detached housing development leveraging our strengths as one of the diverse housing options for our customers. This project is the first phase. We will develop multiple projects in the Kanagawa area for the time being, and then gradually consider expanding to other areas based on regional characteristics. Asahi Kasei Homes will continue to aim to be "a trusted person and company for the future" by providing LONGLIFE products and services that support people's "lives, livelihoods, and futures."
