We hereby announce that on July 30, 2021 (Japan time: July 31), Mori Trust Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Miwako Date) sold its real estate properties HQ @ First (three office buildings and one parking garage, hereinafter “the properties”) located in the city of San Jose, California, in the Silicon Valley area of the United States, through its U.S. subsidiary MORI America LLC.

From its foundation, our company has aimed to construct asset portfolios based on “selection and concentration.” As one of the key strategies of our “Advance 2027” medium- and long-term vision formulated in 2016, our company has raised the goal of “investment in overseas real estate” with a scale of up to 200 billion yen.

We acquired the properties in March 2019 because they are large-scale and high-quality properties that have obtained Gold certification under the LEED environmental performance evaluation system and are located in a high-growth area where offices and laboratories of some of the world’s leading high-tech corporations accumulate.

The properties, which are relatively new buildings and fully occupied by prime tenants, are highly regarded by investors as stable assets. Since investment demand was strong, we decided to sell the properties after owning them for about 2 years and 4 months.

Our company will continue to actively promote domestic and overseas real estate investment under strategies focusing on stability, sustainability, and growth potential with the aim of realizing stable growth of the Group in response to global economic and social changes.
