Located on the first floor of Palette Town West Mall in Odaiba, Sun Walk (operated by Mori Building Co., Ltd.) will change its name to VenusFort Family and become a commercial facility integrated with VenusFort (operated by VenusFort, Inc.) on the second and third floors of the West Mall. Events, sales promotion activities and customer services for VenusFort and VenusFort Family will be integrated to reflect the facility's new name and integration. The new VenusFort will formally open on April 29.

Sun Walk and VenusFort have operated independently within the same building since their opening in summer 1999. However, with expectations of new demand generated by the extension of the Yurikamome Line (the major transportation route to VenusFort) to Toyosu (on March 27), we have chosen to integrate the operations of the two facilities, with the goal of increasing customer convenience, attracting more customers, and increasing the circulation of people within the facilities.

Consisting of a first floor targeting family customers and second and third floors featuring fashions for men and women, New VenusFort seeks to satisfy a broad range of customer demand and to provide shoppers with an even more enjoyable retail experience. Given below is an overview of major innovations implemented in New VenusFort:

Renovation (1): Birth of VenusFort Family
Sun Walk will be renamed VenusFort Family, with events and services integrated with VenusFort.

Renovation (2): Integration of sales promotion and services
VenusFort and VenusFort Family will jointly hold events and fairs and engage in sales promotion activities while integrating customer service.
* The same staff will provide information on both facilities.
* Purchases at either facility will earn points on the VenusFort card.
* Web pages and the brochures available within the facilities will be integrated.
* Signs within the facilities will be made consistent to reflect the change.
* Both facilities will participate in Lotto Venus, a daily drawing based on purchases.

Renovation (3): A space of about 1,100 tsubo, or one-third of the first floor, will be renovated.
Along with the renaming of the facility to VenusFort Family, a space of about 1,100 tsubo, or one-third of the first floor, which is currently occupied by a sporting goods superstore, will be transformed into a collection of some 20 shops, including retailers setting up their first locations in Tokyo or in shopping centers. Based on the theme of "A relaxing resort," we will create Tokyo's largest partitioned commercial area with a space of about 1,100 tsubo, consisting of some 20 unique stores offering everything from surf sport casuals to Hawaiian goods. The array of retailers will offer a broad selection of products targeting new families and couples in their 20s and 30s.

Renovations (4): New dog run
Pets are currently permitted on the first floor (currently Sun Walk). Many shoppers have taken advantage of this opportunity to shop with their dogs. At the request of our customers, we plan to establish a dog run of approximately 100 tsubo at the south of the building.

Golden Week Events
To celebrate the opening of the new VenusFort, we plan to hold a large-scale event called "Hawaiian Festival in Odaiba" from April 29 to May 7, during the Golden Week holidays.
