"Fukagawa Gatharia" is an urban revitalization space redeveloped by Fujikura with the concept of "establishing a new identity for the Fukagawa and Kiba area."

*1 About Fukagawa Gatharia
This complex was completed in 2010 after the redevelopment of the former Fukagawa factory site owned by Fujikura. With a view to preserving the culture and traditions of the downtown area and ushering in a new era, it is an integrated facility that brings together office buildings, a large supermarket, a movie theater, a restaurant area, a fitness club, and more. Gatharia is a coined word made up of GATHER (to gather), AREA, and IA (a suffix derived from the Latin word for country or region), and represents an area where people and things gather.
