The first phase involves a \u00a59 billion investment to construct four residential buildings by FY2028 on a 0.6-hectare site near the station. JR Kyushu will build one &#8220;MJR&#8221; condominium and one &#8220;RJR&#8221; rental apartment. Takamatsu Sangyo will develop a 40-unit rental apartment with shared office space, while Toho Housing will build a 50-unit condominium with a hotel.<br \/>\nThe city will also develop a bus terminal and event plaza on an adjacent 0.8-hectare plot.
