Earth-colored twin towers harmonizing with
the rich natural environment
Going beyond development for development's sake, Sekisui House has long worked to create bridges to the future in harmony with the sea and greenery for an environment for a wide range of generations. In Island City this can be seen for a symbiosis between high-quality living and beautiful nature.
The Island City Ocean & Forest Tower Residence is built on the corner of a greenbelt, a symbol of Fukuoka City. It is the culmination of all the expectations and potential of the Sekisui House condominium plans in this area.
The 48 floors of the two 161-meter towers are impressive. Boasting a Japanese tree that called TOCHINOKI motif and graceful earth tones, the towers are full of potential to become a new landmark for Island City.
An approach made for ultimate convenience in a beautiful location near the city's greenbelt.
The 1.7 kilometers greenbelt corridor connects Island City Central Park, a resting spot where you can fully enjoy the colors of the four seasons, to Habataki Park (currently under construction) on the north side. Along with being a great place to walk and jog, events such as open-air cafés and market are also held in this community space.
Island City Ocean & Forest Tower Residence is in the ideal location where its vast greenery blends in with the greenbelt. In tranquility free from the hustle and bustle of the city, a soothing green landscape seems to pour into the windows 365 days a year. In March 2021, the Fukuoka City Expressway / Island City Line was fully opened, improving access to many areas, including central Fukuoka making it easy to move around for business and leisure.
URBAN DESIGN
Fukuoka:a growing city with a youthful demography
Fukuoka has grown steadily, surpassing 1.5 million in 2013 and then surpassing 1.6 million in the next seven years. This puts it among the five-top growing cities in Japan after Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, and Sapporo. Large-scale urban redevelopment projects are taking place to improve convenience-such as the extension of the Nanakuma subway line subway to revitalize the Hakata Station area, as part of the Tenjin Big Bang Project.
The goal is not to simply expand for imaginary added value. Fukuoka City, as a designated Global Founding and Employment Creation Special Zone, promotes projects to attract and support startups from around Japan and abroad. The result has been a remarkable inflow of motivated youth which comprise a large portion of the population growth, creating a vibrant balance throughout the city between the people and economic environment.
Development of Island City
Ideal community development from the ground up
In 2005, Sekisui House worked with Fukuoka City to create an ideal living environment based on coexistence and co-prosperity in cosmopolitan Fukuoka_Island City in eastern Hakata Bay. For the Fukuoka Island City Teriha Urban Development, Sekisui House received the prestigious 2018 Asian Townscape Award.
This project stood out from 49 applications from eight Asian countries because we focused on three aspects: development that harmonized with the environment by taking advantage of a waterfront area surrounded by ocean, development through universal design for safety and security, and inclusive development involving the entire community. Another factor was the creation of a smart city with an advanced energy environment aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
Island City continues to evolve in areas such as IoT and the cultural arts for an ever-improving living environment.
Environment
Island City Central Park
Fukuoka has a north-south greenbelt through the center of the city, and Island City Central Park, which forms the core of the park, is a popular place to enjoy the flowers, insects and migratory birds with the seasonal scenery.
