Sustainability

Our Group recognizes climate change, natural resource depletion, and ecosystem destruction as important social issues. We are therefore contributing to the realization of a sustainable society through environmentally friendly buildings and urban development, including initiatives for an energy-efficient and low-carbon society.
We also continue to comply with environmental laws and regulations and promote appropriate environmental management, while stepping up our initiatives in collaboration with our stakeholders, including tenant companies and suppliers.

Mori wo Tsunagu TOKYO project (Integrated Forest Management Project in Tokyo)

As part of the Integrated Forest Management Project in Tokyo, the Group owns approximately 130 hectares of forest in Okutama Town, Tokyo and is working with a variety of co-creation partners to promote growing sustainable forests for local production and local consumption as a field for biodiversity initiatives, which the Group has identified as one of its “Priority issues (materiality) for 2030.” This project began in 2022, and has received domestic and international certifications in recognition of its biodiversity protection and sustainable forest management.

In June 2023, Tsunagu Mori was certified by the “SGEC (Sustainable Green Ecosystem Council)” and the international mutual certification organization “PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification)” as a forest where biodiversity protection and sustainable forest management are being practiced.

Tsunagu Mori was certified as a “site coexisting with nature” under the initiative of the Ministry of the Environment, toward the achievement of “30 by 30” (a goal to protect at least 30% of land and sea areas by 2030), which was adopted as a global target at COP15 in December 2022.

History of the Nomura Real Estate Group

History

Entered into the residential development business to solve the housing shortage during the postwar reconstruction period.

In 1957, the Company was established as an asset management company for Nomura Securities when the latter constructed its new head office building. In 1961, the Company entered the residential development business with the aim of tackling the housing shortage, which was a key social issue during the postwar reconstruction period. In 1963, the Company advanced into the condominium development business and firmly established its position as a major private real estate developer. While steadily expanding our office building business, in 1978, we developed Shinjuku Nomura Building, a skyscraper that still serves as our head office to this day.

Completed construction of Shinjuku Nomura Building, moved the Company’s Head Office from Nihonbashi to Shinjuku

Overcoming financial crisis by concentrating business resources on the residential business.

When the bubble burst, the economy and the real estate market conditions rapidly deteriorated.
The Group overcame the crisis by grasping the resurgence of residential needs in urban centers due to falling land prices and concentrated its business resources on the condominium business.
In 1999, the Company was an early adopter of IT, launching the real estate information website “nomu.com.” In 2002, we announced “PROUD,” an integrated brand of housing and related services under which we have continued to create products and services, leading to a strength for the Company.

Launched the real estate information website “nomu.com”
Launched “PROUD” as an integrated brand of housing and related services Completed construction of PROUD Kugayama (2003)

Accelerating growth through M&A, and development of characteristic brands.

In October 2006, the Company was listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (now the TSE Prime Market). We increased our financing capabilities from capital markets and significantly expanded the Leasing business through the M&A of NREG Toshiba Building (merged into Nomura Real Estate in April 2022). We also developed a string of characteristic asset brands, including PMO (with which we created a new market of medium-sized high-grade offices), and Landport (logistics facilities with advanced and high functionality, created through early-stage market entry and development based on investor needs).

Initiatives to build cities that connect today with tomorrow’s possibilities in Japan and overseas.

We are working on several projects through which we are demonstrating the Group’s expertise.
One is BLUE FRONT SHIBAURA (Shibaura Project), a large-scale, mixed-use development (South Tower: completion scheduled for February 2025; North Tower: completion scheduled for FY2031/3). Under this project, we will develop a total floor space of approximately 550,000 m2, the largest in the Group’s history.
Moreover, the overseas expansion of our expertise cultivated in Japan has accelerated, especially in the cities of rapidly growing ASEAN countries. Meanwhile, in OKUTAMA TOWN, Tokyo, we own approximately 130 ha of forest. With this forest as a basis, we have launched new initiatives aimed at realizing low-carbon buildings via the use of wood materials even as we strive to maintain and restore forest functions. Looking ahead, we will strive to build cities—dynamic stages that connect today with tomorrow’s possibilities—at home and abroad in a way that accurately meets people’s needs.
