ITOCHU has established a strong market presence alongside leading business companies such as ITOHPIA HOME Co., Ltd., which handles everything from planning and design to construction and after-sales maintenance for single-family homes; CHUSETSU Engineering Co., Ltd., which constructs food factories and other facilities; Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd., a major general contractor in civil engineering and building construction; and ORIENTAL SHIRAISHI Corporation, a bridge manufacturer.
Particularly in the building materials sector, we handle not only development projects within the ITOCHU Group but also collaborate with ITOCHU KENZAI Corporation, a specialized building materials trading company, and DAIKEN Corporation, which provides diverse construction materials. In this way, we facilitate the supply of construction equipment and materials for various domestic and international development projects, thereby strengthening the value chain of the ITOCHU Group's building materials business.

In addition to providing integrated real estate management services through ITOCHU Urban Community Ltd., ITOCHU operates Advance Residence Investment Corporation, one of the largest residential-focused J-REITs in terms of asset size, and Advance Private Investment Corporation, an unlisted open-ended private REIT. In addition, ITOCHU and Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. jointly operate Mitsui Fudosan Logistics Park Inc., a REIT focused on logistics and industrial real estate.

We make full use of our knowledge and networks as a general trading company to expand business overseas in collaboration with our local partners, Japanese developers, and Japanese construction companies. In the US and ASEAN, we have a strong track record in industrial assets such as logistics facilities, factories, and industrial parks; residential assets including rental condominiums and serviced apartments; and investments in offices and hotels. In the US, our policy is to focus particularly on advancing residential assets through investments in major local developers.
