Contribution to social infrastructure development
Respond to advances in global mobility services and cooperate with local communities to contribute to social infrastructure development
In the Automobility segment, Tokyo Century provides mobility-related services through its auto leasing and car rental businesses. These services play a crucial role in contributing to social infrastructure while also having material importance to supporting safety. In a business environment free of regulatory constraints, Tokyo Century is branching out from leasing and financing to develop and grow unique business models based on the concept of “Finance × Services × Business Expertise” through co-creation with partners. For example, we recognize that the revitalization of local communities through the tourism industry is an important task as the depopulation of areas outside of major urban centers becomes an increasingly serious social issue. These characteristics of our business constitute one of the reasons we have defined “contribution to social infrastructure development” among our key issues (materiality).

Initiative Example
We are participating in large-scale redevelopment projects such as the Tokyo Cross Park Vision project in Uchisaiwaicho 1-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo and the TOKYO TORCH project in the Tokiwabashi area in front of Tokyo Station.
The Tokyo Cross Park Vision project, comprising the North Zone, Central Zone, and South Zone, is the largest development project in central Tokyo, with a floor area of approximately 1.1 million square meters and co-created by 10 companies (including related rights holders and parent companies) rooted in the area. Tokyo Century is promoting the project as an operator of the South Zone, the location of the South Tower (scheduled to be completed in fiscal 2028), which will consist of offices, a hotel, wellness facilities, and other amenities.
A new hotel and hall in TOKYO TORCH, which we jointly acquired with Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., is scheduled to be completed in fiscal 2027. It has been decided that Dorchester Collection, one of the world’s leading ultra-luxury hotel brands, will make its first foray into Asia at TOKYO TORCH. Our participation in these redevelopment projects will help improve social infrastructure and enhance the charm of Tokyo, Japan.
In 2022, we opened Hotel Indigo Karuizawa as a new lifestyle boutique hotel reflecting the story of Karuizawa. It is our second project in collaboration with InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, following our first resort development project, the ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa.
The hotel is the first hotel owned and operated by the Tokyo Century Group, and local timber (Nagano-grown Karamatsu pine) was used for its exterior and interior construction. In addition, we reflect the unique characteristics of the hotel’s surrounding area in its meals and services to remain close to the local community in helping to reduce CO2 emissions and revitalize local regions.
Tokyo Century is jointly operating data centers in India with NTT Global Data Centers Corporation (NTT GDC) of the NTT Group. In 2022, construction of the Mumbai 8 Data Center was completed and started operation.
In India, data usage is expected to increase rapidly against the backdrop of government-led digitization measures, including the expansion of smartphones and the use of video content. As a result, demand for data centers is rising. NTT GDC and Tokyo Century have therefore decided to expand their operations to the Navi Mumbai area, located east of Mumbai, and construction is progressing in stages.
