A Redevelopment Project Put into Motion

1. Create a streetscape that is constantly lively.
   The lower floors of the buildings (from the basement to the second aboveground floor) facing the street should be used for stores and other functions that draw lively crowds.
2. Suppress functions that are inappropriate for the district.
   In order to protect the value of the street, no new entertainment venues (e.g., pachinko parlors) or apartment buildings are permitted in the area.
3. Improve the public spaces within the neighborhood.
   Improve the public spaces (the “living rooms” of the neighborhood) that enrich the time spent in the neighborhood by visitors and which can attract visitors to the neighborhood.
4. Make the central avenue more attractive.
   To create a lively atmosphere along the central avenue, the boundary areas between adjacent buildings and roads should be designed with care.
5. Create a comfortable walking environment aboveground and underground.
   Create multi-level circuits by devising underground connections between subway concourses and underground shopping malls and by creating smooth connections between aboveground and underground levels through the use of elevators, escalators, and so on.

In accordance with these principles, Daibiru made a decision in May 2022 to close Daibiru PIVOT, Daibiru PIVOT West, and Daibiru PIVOT South.

Daibiru PIVOT and Daibiru PIVOT West closed in May 2023, and Daibiru PIVOT South in October 2023. Redevelopment construction will begin in spring 2024 at the earliest, with completion planned for early 2027.

Sapporo is Daibiru’s first foray into a regional core city, and the company is tackling the challenge of implementing its management philosophy of “constructing buildings, creating towns, and pioneering the era” by advancing business development in accordance with the unique culture and business environment of Hokkaido and by conducting redevelopment that put down roots in the local community, that is supported by the local residents, and that brings joy to the community.
