Priority investment in Prime Properties centering on
"Strategic Location" and "High Quality"
Prime Properties
Based on the fundamental recognition that there is a growing need for real estate located at sites suited for "bases for sustainable living" for residents or sites suited for "sustainable bases of operation" of tenant companies and needs for real estate with high, basic functionality as residences, such as comfort and safety, and functionality desired by tenant companies, SHR designates high quality residential and commercial properties, located at strategic locations "Prime Properties" and prioritize investments in Prime Properties.
≪Concepts of Strategic Location and High Quality≫
Asset Category | Strategic Location | High Quality |
---|---|---|
Residential Properties | Sites suited for "bases for sustainable living" for residents | As residences, provide high basic functionality, such as comfort and safety, and give due consideration to the environment as a societal request to make comprehensive determinations regarding buildings suited to the neighborhoods and the like |
Commercial Properties | Sites suited for "sustainable bases of operation" of tenant companies | In addition to the functionality wanted by tenant companies, give consideration to the environment as a societal request establish specifications suitable for BCP sites to make comprehensive determinations regarding buildings suited to the neighborhoods and the like |
SHR selects Prime Properties through a comprehensive assessment by focusing on an analysis of the below 6 factors.

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, although investments in residential properties and commercial properties are allowed, SHR will maintain a cautious stance in the near future.
