"The SOHO" located in Odaiba, which will be the new location, is
When it was completed in 2010, it was one of the largest shared offices in the world.
So it's not a street store.
A certain famous drama and movie series set in Odaiba,
It was also the filming location for a recent popular drama.
From the sophisticated exterior and atrium entrance,
A unique building with colorful doors.
Designed by architectural designer Masamichi Katayama ,
The background music in the hall is by Hiroshi Fujiwara, a leading figure in the Japanese fashion world and also a DJ.
There is a business meeting table at the entrance on the first floor, and a meeting space on the second floor.
There is a fitness gym, spa (currently unavailable), shower room, laundry,
It also has a bar and cafe.
This is an office building where the Tokyo way of thinking about work is closely connected to daily life.
The tenant here was relocating within the prefecture or expanding overseas as I wrote in a previous blog.
I discovered this when I was searching on the internet for reference on ``What kind of place do I want to work?''
It wasn't a place I stopped by when I lived in Tokyo, so
I never knew this place existed, but
All I thought was, ``I wish I could work in such a wonderful place.''
Sometimes we are working while raising children,
Work is not my top priority, but
There is no longer an option in life to not do something.
But when I thought about “what kind of work style” I wanted,
I would rather work happily and happily than work hard.
This is a place that will make those wishes come true.
And recently, there have been many disturbing incidents,
Our company has also started a reservation system from June this year.
This decision is unavoidable considering the current world, but
It's also quite unpleasant.
Originally, we wanted as many people as possible to enjoy vintage watches.
A store that has the image of being a "watch shop" with a high threshold and difficult to enter,
The frontage was widened to make it easier to enter.
However, the number of robberies has increased rapidly, perhaps due to the impact of the coronavirus.
Incidents now occur regardless of time.
Even if you take some crime prevention measures by making a reservation system in such a case,
The store itself will not change.
Even if you spend money to change the interior and perfect security equipment,
This is not realistic as it would be a huge expense.
Even if you move, the building itself is equipped with security equipment and the rent is expensive.
It's no different than spending money on interior design.
In the first place, work is an inseparable part of life.
There is no point in working in fear of being robbed,
It's a place where we can do what we want to do to the best of our ability,
If it's not fun, the job itself has no appeal.
This tenant is attractive for its appearance and good facilities,
As I wrote in my previous blog, it is one of the most convenient places to access in Tokyo.
It is very convenient for both transportation and cars.
Of course, when customers come,
It's also a good place when we go out.
To be honest, it's not always busy during business hours.
In your free time, go out to the neighborhood or use the gym inside the facility,
The best stage where you can enjoy your daily life while working.
For our company, which aims to "propose lifestyle through vintage watches,"
There is no other property that fits this concept.
After considering this, the rent you should pay attention to is:
Almost the same amount as Fukuoka and Tsukiji combined.
The cost of moving in is not a 10-month deposit, which is common in Tokyo.
This is an amount that even start-up companies can easily afford.
Furthermore, if you consider the amount and time required for things like gym fees and a quick drink on the way home,
You can save a considerable amount of money.
At any store, fixed costs such as rent and interior costs are reflected in the product price.
The more money you spend at the store, the more the product price will go up.
There are some initial steps in this relocation, but
Judging from a comprehensive perspective, it seems that there will be no need to significantly increase the price of the product.
Please note that it is unavoidable that prices for purchasing, etc. will increase.
When you think about such details,
This move is based on the premise of maintaining the selling price of the products.
This is an opportunity to strengthen security and enhance the store itself.
The exterior is extremely stylish and the business meeting space is designed to get you excited.
There is also coin parking at the back of the facility.
Furthermore, next to the building is the Tokyo Bayside Police Station, which is also famous as the place where that person works.
This is probably by far the best tenant property I can think of at the moment.
We have already signed a contract, but there are still preparations to be made.
We are aiming to start at the end of December.
Details will be announced later!
The next episode will be the final episode about this relocation, ``On the verge of a dream come true.''
