The Kitakogane Station South Exit East District Urban Redevelopment Association, joined by Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Haseko Corporation, announced the commencement of construction on April 1, 2026, for the "Kitakogane Station South Exit East District Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project" in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture.
The project area spans approximately 0.9 hectares, situated in the south exit area of JR Joban Line "Kitakogane Station" in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture. Historically, this area flourished as "Kogane-juku," a post town on the Mito Kaido during the Edo period, and is rich in cultural and historical resources such as Tozenji Temple and Honmyoji Temple. In recent years, the "Kitakogane Station South Exit Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project," completed in March 1994, transformed it into a vibrant gathering place.
However, the current district faces challenges including narrow roads, aging buildings, underutilized land (such as parking lots), and a lack of parks or plazas for public relaxation, leading to concerns regarding disaster prevention, safety, and comfort. This project aims to resolve these issues by enhancing disaster prevention capabilities, creating open spaces, and developing a comfortable living environment through infrastructure improvements, thereby contributing to the promotion of attractive urban development.
Key features of the project include:
(1) Regional revitalization and compact city development based on the "Matsudo City Location Optimization Plan ~Matsudo's Future Full of Charm~."
(2) It is the first cooperative-led urban redevelopment project in Matsudo City.
(3) The development ensures continuity with the adjacent "Kitakogane Station South Exit District Type 1 Urban Redevelopment Project (completed)."
(4) A plaza of approximately 1,000 square meters will be developed as a community gathering place, creating open space.
