Upcoming Opening of THE STEPS in Hatagaya
In a blend of history and modern innovation,
THE STEPS is poised to make its debut in
Hatagaya, Tokyo, in
October 2025. This multi-purpose facility, developed by
Realgate, a company renowned for managing over 100 creative office buildings in urban areas, aims to revitalise a 52-year-old structure into a vibrant space that merges shops, offices, and community engagement.

Yokomori Seisakusho into what will soon be THE STEPS.

Rather than altering the essence of Hatagaya, this renovation project seeks to honor its heritage while paving the way for a bright future.
A Pet-Friendly Community Hub
Understanding the importance of community, THE STEPS aims to be pet-friendly, fostering interactions among residents and their pets. This initiative reflects the warm, welcoming atmosphere that owners hope to magnify, connecting with the local lifestyle where people stroll with their pets.
