Mitsui Fudosan Residential Accelerates Housing Sales Business Projects in Southeast Asia
Decides to Participate in First Condominium and Detached Housing Projects (Approx. 4,200 Units) in Thailand and Indonesia

August 29, 2013
Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co., Ltd.

Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co., Ltd. today decided to participate in 3 projects to develop and sell 2,321 condominium units and 1,875 detached homes in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, as well as Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, together with the adjoining city of Tangerang. Mitsui Fudosan Residential will participate in these projects through Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (headquartered in Singapore), which is a joint venture of both Mitsui Fudosan and Mitsui Fudosan Residential.

In Southeast Asia, the Mitsui Fudosan Group has been engaged in housing sales and hotel businesses together with the Hong Leong Group, a local business conglomerate in Singapore, for over 40 years. In Malaysia, the Group is making steady strides with the Mews Project, a condominium project in Kuala Lumpur that the Group joined in March 2013, and an outlet mall project. We will be participating in projects for the first time in Thailand and Indonesia. We see both countries as promising markets offering strong prospects for expansion in their respective housing markets, based on the growing ranks of middle-income earners driven by steady economic growth. While maximizing the expertise we have acquired in housing development, marketing and other areas in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, we will press ahead with these development projects in line with local business practices.

In Thailand, we have joined forces with Ananda Development Public Company Limited, a leading local housing developer, to develop a 1,875-unit condominium project called Rama IV (tentative name). The planned site is located next to the Silom-Sathorn area, which lies at the heart of the Thai capital Bangkok's central business district. It offers excellent access, located just a 4 minute walk from Sam Yan Station, which is just one station away from Bangkok's main Silom Station. The areas surrounding the site are home to many educational institutions and medical institutions, including Chulalongkorn University, one of Thailand's leading universities. This site also boasts a highly convenient location for daily life, with easy access to Lumphini Park, a gathering place for residents, and Siam Paragon, one of Bankgok's foremost retail facilities.

In Indonesia, we will jointly develop two projects with the Ciputra Group, one of the country's leading local developers with a strong track record in large-scale township developments. The first project is a 446-unit condominium project called CitraGarden City / Citra Block 6. The second project is an 1,875-unit detached housing sales business project called Citra Raya / Ecopolis Block. Both properties are large-scale township developments undertaken by the Ciputra Group over the long term. Township development refers to large-scale integrated urban development projects based on comprehensive urban planning, including infrastructure development.

Furthermore, Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) Pte. Ltd. has become a joint venture of both Mitsui Fudosan and Mitsui Fudosan Residential. Mitsui Fudosan has increased its investment in the company, while Mitsui Fudosan Residential has become a new investor. Looking ahead, Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) will be positioned as a core company for promoting business in Southeast Asia. Accordingly, the Mitsui Fudosan Group will accelerate business development centered on housing sales business projects, where growing demand is anticipated on the back of economic growth and continuing urbanization, and on retail facilities projects, which are set to capture growth in personal consumption.
