Overview of the Renovation
Seijo Corty has embraced the motto, "Complete Daily Life in Seijo," under which they have launched a two-phase renovation strategy.

This step was crucial in realizing the company’s regional coexistence statement, emphasizing the union of urban and natural environments for the convenience of everyday shoppers.
Phase 2 Focus (Spring 2026)
The opening of Uniqlo is the most anticipated event of this phase. It will be joined by other revamped establishments, including the interior and lifestyle store GEORGE’S, and the French restaurant Grand Famille, among others.
