On the establishment of the Waterfront Real Estate Co., Ltd.
And the introduction of the Waterpolitan Initiative (WpI)
Waterfront Real Estate ＜CEO: Toshio Nakajima＞, a Japan-based corporation, was established in August of 2017. As the name implies, our company aims to provide water-area/waterfront and oceanfront real estate conceptualization, design, planning plus consulting services as well as other related activities.
After incorporation, we have cooperated with the WCFS '19 International Conference held in Singapore as one of the sponsor companies. More recently we have been expanding our activities such as inking a deal with the Japanese firm Chodai and signing a joint research agreement with the University of Tokyo.
Meanwhile, in November of 2018, WRE launched the ”Waterpolitan Initiative (WpI)” to partake in more related activities. In December of the same year, WpI conducted an inaugural publicity activity focused on "Realizing a Sustainable Waterborne City" by setting up its own booth at the ”Future City Expo’18” international exhibition that took place in an Oslo, Norway suburb.
