Kintetsu Real Estate Establishes U.S. Subsidiary to Accelerate Global Expansion

Kintetsu Real Estate Co., Ltd. established Kintetsu Real Estate Company of America in Torrance, California, in July 2025. Positioned as a strategic hub, the new entity will integrate development, ownership, operations, and sales of real estate, leveraging expertise gained from Kintetsu’s existing hotel and logistics businesses in Japan.

The move aligns with the Kintetsu Group’s “Long-term Vision 2035” and “Medium-term Management Plan 2028,”which prioritize expanding and deepening its global business portfolio. The U.S. and Australia are identified as key markets for future investment, with the newly established subsidiary serving as the operating core for U.S. activities.

Kintetsu Real Estate entered the U.S. real estate market in April 2020 and has since participated in four projects: the TA Realty Core Property Fund, a nationwide core fund; the U.S. VALUE-ADD REAL ESTATE FUND VII, a West Coast-focused multifamily and logistics fund; Quarterra Village, a large-scale multifamily development in suburban Seattle; and the MRE Open End Fund, which targets senior housing nationwide.

In 2024, Kintetsu established a dedicated overseas business division to strengthen its global operations. The company plans to continue expanding its investment portfolio, focusing on multifamily housing, logistics facilities, and senior living properties, using the U.S. subsidiary as a base for further growth.
