The city of Morioka in Iwate Prefecture has begun hearings with private-sector businesses in connection with the drafting of a basic concept plan for the development of a mixed-use complex at the west exit of Morioka Station.
A complex facility will be constructed on approximately 4,511 square meters of unused land currently used as a parking lot, owned by Morioka City and East Japan Railway Company (JR East). In the district plan for the Morioka Station West Exit area, the site is designated as a future transportation center. Based on a regional revitalization cooperation agreement, Morioka City and JR East have been holding repeated discussions on how to utilize the land.
Adjacent to the transportation plaza and close to commercial facilities such as Malios and Aiina, the site lies at a major transportation hub that connects Shinkansen bullet trains, conventional rail lines, and highway buses, leading the city to anticipate strong office demand. The development policy is to create a shared office facility for companies and a co-creation hub for startups and other organizations.
The hearings aim to gather views and proposals from private businesses, including their intention to participate in the project and the most appropriate business conditions for participation. The purpose is to examine and define the functions the facility should provide, the spatial concept, and feasible schemes for development and operation.
