Business Overview

The Group consists of the Company, 20 consolidated subsidiaries, and two equity method affiliates. The Real Estate Development Business is mostly engaged in the planning, development, and sales of the Company’s own brand, the “S-RESIDENCE” series; the Real Estate Solution Business is mostly engaged in acquiring, rehabilitating, and selling income-producing properties; the Overseas Business is engaged in investment and condominium property sales overseas; the Real Estate Leasing Business leases apartment buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities; the Hotel Business leases and manages hotels; and the Real Estate Management Business manages apartment buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities. Thirteen of the consolidated subsidiaries (excluding S-VIN VIETNAM REAL ESTATE TRADING JOINT STOCK COMPANY) were established or are invested in, in connection with business to acquire, hold, and develop land, buildings, and trust beneficiary rights in the process of the Company’s conducting of these businesses. 

The Group’s business is characterized by the planning and development capabilities of our architects, including design, cost management, and construction supervision, as well as our accumulated expertise as property managers through the leasing of real estate owned by us. By utilizing these planning, development, and property management capabilities, we acquire land for business, plan and develop apartment buildings and office buildings, recruit tenants, and develop income-producing real estate to earn rental income.

In addition, the Group seeks to control fixed costs associated with business expansion by subcontracting or outsourcing design work, construction work, and sales of condominiums to design firms, construction companies, and sales companies, respectively.

Through the development and leasing of apartment buildings and office buildings, the Group provides products and services to a wide range of customers and for a wide range of needs, including real estate investment trusts (J-REITs), real estate investment funds, general corporations, individual investors, and purchasers of condominiums.

The positioning of the Company and its affiliated companies in their businesses, and their relationship with the segments are as follows. The classifications shown below are the same as those of the segments. Effective from the current fiscal year, the former Real Estate Business is divided into three segments, Real Estate Development Business, Real Estate Solutions Business, and Overseas Business, and the former Real Estate Leasing Business is divided into two segments, Real Estate Leasing Business and Real Estate Management Business. Businesses other than the Hotel Business, which were previously included in the Other Businesses segment, have been reclassified into their respective segments. In addition, asset management, which was previously included in the Real Estate Business, has been reclassified into the Real Estate Management Business.
