Investment Ratio by Area

SHR has set priority investment areas in light of the characteristics of each asset category, as shown in the following chart. SHR considers Greater Tokyo as its priority investment area for residential properties, with a particular focus on Tokyo 23 wards, where it foresees ample leasing demand and a supply of superior properties, and the Three Major Metropolitan Areas as its priority investment areas for commercial properties with a particular focus on the three largest cities (Tokyo 23 wards, Osaka and Nagoya) where it believes it can achieve stable investment results against a backdrop of robust demand by tenants for bases of business operations. Regarding overseas real estate investment, for the time being, investment shall be limited to residential properties.
Furthermore, SHR will comprehensively analyze the markets in which the investment target assets are located, including real estate market trends, systems, and regulations in each country, based on macro perspectives such as political trends, demographic trends, and economic growth.
In addition to verifying investment profitability and potential investment risks (investment grade verification), local management and operation (risk management) after acquisition are required. Therefore, in principle, SHR shall invest in real estate in which the sponsor, Sekisui House, or an entity, etc., in which Sekisui House has a stake, are involved in the development, and is operated by a reliable real estate operator in the country or region concerned, and sufficient information and support for management and operation are readily available. SHR will invest primarily in Singapore, Australia, and the U.S., where Sekisui House has extensive knowledge based on its development experience. For the time being, investment shall be limited to the U.S. In addition, SHR shall invest carefully, taking into consideration the risks associated with each country's legal system, accounting system, tax system, etc., as well as foreign exchange risks related to investment and profit return.
