Heiwa Real Estate Promotes Largest Urban Redevelopment Project in Sapporo

Heiwa Real Estate's Vision for Sapporo's Urban Development

Heiwa Real Estate, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is spearheading a monumental urban redevelopment project known as the “Sapporo Redevelopment Project.” With a focus on community engagement and sustainability, the company will continue its legacy on August 30, 2025, by participating as a gold partner in the Hokkaido Marathon 2025, promoting its commitment to enhancing the local environment through sports.

Hokkaido Marathon Overview

The Hokkaido Marathon began in 1987 with just 439 entrants and has significantly grown over the years, now attracting around 20,000 participants. This marathon is not just a sporting event; it is a platform that brings together elite athletes, casual runners, and families, fostering an inclusive atmosphere.

In a bid to support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the marathon includes a wide array of initiatives. For instance, it hosts a division for visually impaired athletes and supports a wheeled wheelchair marathon. Additionally, to inspire young athletes and create opportunities for interaction between children and elite runners, a family-oriented 1km “Winning Run” is organized.

As a proud supporter of the Hokkaido Marathon, Heiwa Real Estate resonates with the event’s commitment to sustainability and community development, consolidating its role as a distinguished partner.

Participating in Hokkaido Marathon 2025

The Hokkaido Marathon 2025, organized by the 2025 Hokkaido Marathon Committee, will take place on August 31, starting at 8:30 AM. The event's primary focus will be the full marathon race, integrating various activities that support diverse participants, including a showcase at the “Hokkaido Marathon EXPO 2025,” held at Odori Park.

At this year’s EXPO, Heiwa Real Estate set up a booth to further engage with the community and support marathon participants by distributing original sports towels featuring both the marathon and company logos. This initiative was part of the team's goal to promote awareness of effective environments in Sapporo while encouraging feedback on the “Dōri Nishi 4 Nan district redevelopment project.” Visitors had the opportunity to voice their ideas about desired community spaces by participating in an interactive survey, designing their preferred community attributes.

Committing to the Environment

After the marathon, Heiwa Real Estate's employees took part in a clean-up initiative around Odori Park, contributing to the creation of a pleasant environment for visitors. This commitment enhances the experience of both runners and people exploring Sapporo.

The marathon has several sustainability initiatives emphasizing eco-friendliness, including:

- Harvesting vegetables from leaf mulch produced at Hokkaido University.
- Using recycled wood materials for animal panels at key locations on the course.
- Ensuring all printed materials are minimal and eco-conscious.
- Offering a portion of registration fees as donations to local causes.
