Assets Classes

Our Business

The Mitsui Fudosan Group’s main business activities are implemented through its leasing business, property sales business, management business, and facility operations business. In line with this structure, we have adopted the five accounting segments of Leasing, Property Sales, Management, Facility Operations, and Other from fiscal 2023. Furthermore, revenues and profits generated by individual projects are classified into these segments and can be allocated to a single segment or multiple segments.

Note: The categories shown here are to give an idea of the segments for recording revenues and profits, however, the actual details might differ.

Diverse Asset Classes and Global Expansion

As a Group of leading comprehensive real estate companies in Japan, the Mitsui Fudosan Group is developing a real estate business based on diverse asset classes.
Overseas, we are also expanding our business through the careful selection of asset classes matched to circumstances of the economies, cities, and other factors in the areas into which we expand.
