Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), hereby announces that the Company has formulated its new Group Philosophy and the long-term vision, & INNOVATION 2030, through to fiscal 2030.
In 2018, the Group formulated its long-term vision, “VISION 2025,” and has worked diligently to establish a sustainable society through the creation of neighborhoods, harness technology to innovate the real estate business, and evolve into a global company. As a result, the Group’s business has expanded on a global scale and evolved into the form outlined in VISION 2025.
The world is today experiencing a major paradigm shift. Seizing these changes as an opportunity to evolve as an industry developer or platformer that goes beyond the boundaries of a real estate developer, we will contribute more than ever to the creation of innovation and added value for society.
1. Formulation of the Group’s New Philosophy
The world is today experiencing a major paradigm shift. Meanwhile, the Japanese economy is transitioning toward a new phase, with the Nikkei Stock Average reaching record highs, the lifting of the negative interest rate policy, and introduction of wage increases aimed at putting an end to “the lost 30 years” that followed the nation’s bubble economy. In order to promote value creation in this new era, we must transform and evolve ourselves. With this in mind, we reexamined our raison d’étre and redefined Our Philosophy. Moreover, we have formulated the corporate message “Transforming the city Transforming the future” to summarize Our Philosophy and indicate the direction in which the Group is moving.
In addition, we have revised our group logo to better clarify the “&” philosophy in the “& mark” and express as a more fluid and robust symbol.

２．About the Group’s New Long-Term Vision, ＆ INNOVATION 2030
& INNOVATION 2030 codifies our vision as a group “to contribute to the creation of added value for society as an industry developer.” “Creating social value” leads to differentiation and competitiveness, which in turn helps “create economic value.” The economic value created then helps create even greater social value. Based on this understanding, we will promote the creation of both “social value” and “economic value” to achieve our goals. Our VISION aims to bring the Group’s DREAM for 2030 to a REALITY by conceptualizing specific strategies while turning these two wheels of a cart.

(3) Three business strategy paths
The Mitsui Fudosan Group identified (1) Promote further core business growth, (2) Expand into new asset classes in the real estate domain, and (3) Explore new business domains and capture business opportunities that go beyond the real estate domain as its three business strategy paths. Precisely since we can now expect solid growth in our core businesses, we will search for new business seeds that are expected to display significant future growth and nurture them into new sources of revenue to realize the Group’s growth.
To that end, we have established the following investment limits:
- Growth investments in existing core business areas of around ¥2 trillion (to FY2026)
- Funds for strategic purposes of around ¥0.6 trillion (to FY2026)
- M&A investment budget of over ¥0.4 trillion (to FY2030)
- Startup equity investment limit of over ¥0.1 trillion (to FY2030)
We will put into practice ambidextrous management, by which we will promote further growth in our core businesses and neighboring fields, while also searching for business opportunities in new business domains beyond our existing real estate domain.
