Message from the President

HEIWA REAL ESTATE Asset Management CO., LTD. (the “Asset Management Company”) is the asset management company of HEIWA REAL ESTATE REIT, Inc. (the “Investment Corporation”), a J-REIT (Japan Real Estate Investment Trust).

On March 8, 2005, CRESCENDO Investment Corporation, predecessor of the Investment Corporation, listed its investment units on the J-REIT section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. HEIWA REAL ESTATE CO., LTD. entered the J-REIT market following the change in sponsor during the global financial crisis triggered by the bankruptcy of Leman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the United States in 2008. The Investment Corporation established a foundation for the current portfolio through an absorption-type merger with Japan Single-residence REIT Inc. in 2010, and has been dramatically increasing its asset scale.

Since then, setting “Steady Growth & Sustainable Profit” as our motto, we have concentrated our investments on mid-sized offices and residences in prime investment areas centering on Tokyo’s 23 wards. We have steadily been credited for our achievements by actively implementing a number of measures, such as increasing asset scale by acquiring new assets and improving portfolio quality with proactive portfolio replacements, enhancing profitability by improving the asset value of existing properties through capital spending, and reducing costs.

In 2019, the 10-year milestone for entrance in the J-REIT market, we changed the structure of asset management fees and significantly increased the percentage of performance-linked fees by introducing the distribution-linked fees. We have also introduced mechanisms to link the interests of the unitholders and those of the HEIWA REAL ESTATE Group and its employees in a multi-layered way, including same-boat investment by the sponsor and the Asset Management Company and the cumulative investment system by the employees of the Asset Management Company.

We will achieve the Investment Corporation’s basic philosophy, “Steady Growth in Management Assets” and “Stable Medium- to Long- Term Profits,” and vigorously work toward the maximization of unitholder value with all officers and employees working together, always from the unitholders’ perspective.
