According to Kosumo Sougyo President Hideo Oshiro, who is also the owner of the site land, the project is expected to cost about one billion yen, and have a total of 4,900 square meters of floor space on three floors. The company plans to attract IT companies and IT engineer training schools to the new facility.

The construction is scheduled to be complete by April 2016. The facility is expected to offer employment to 800 to 1,000 people.
