Minamimachida Project

Integrated redevelopment project for the station, commercial facilities and urban park spread over approximately 22 hectares and directly connected to Minamimachida Station on the Denen-toshi Line

There is about 180, 000 m³ of surplus soil from the new construction of commercial facilities in the central district. In order to facilitate such large-scale construction work, the 130,000-m² site, which consists of 16 buildings, was divided into three blocks. Construction works were promoted daily under the leadership of construction chiefs and supervisors assigned to the respective blocks.

In autumn 2019, the large commercial facilities, which previously had housed around 100 shops, were transformed into new commercial facilities, so doubling the sales area and number of shops. In tune with rebuilding of the main commercial facility in the central district, the adjacent cineplex was also renovated to make the first floor a skeleton structure in coordination with the new shop tenants. The cineplex facilities were upgraded, including one of the most extensive renovation works for the screens, upgrading them into new large screens.

MINAMIMACHIDA GRANDBERRY PARK Station, a convenient and attractive gateway to a new town

Minamimachida Station was renovated to consolidate the station functions, which used to be on the first floor, on the second floor in line with the installation of the north-south corridor. A new station office, passengers' restrooms, escalators and more were installed. As the station was in service as normal while renovation works were conducted, steel framing and some other works were conducted between 1:40 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. The renovation works were conducted within a limited amount of time every day based on meticulous planning so as not to disturb train operations.

The railway civil engineering works had many restrictions as the railway is just above the station. The corridor crossing over the railway track to connect the north and south of the station, the artificial ground for the ticket gate area, which is a new gateway to Minamimachida Station and the platform screen doors were installed.

In Minamimachida Project, an expansion work for the retention basin was conducted for inland flood control for the nearby Sakai River, in addition to the construction of new commercial facilities and the renovation of the station. The work was conducted while using the existing retention basin and completed by overcoming various challenges such as large rainwater and mud pools that formed on site after rain.
A multi-purpose space was developed above the underground retention basin, where many people coming to the town gather and enjoy sport.
