Message From The President
Carrying on the tradition of our founders
For close to 70 years the Mori Trust Group has been engaged in a wide range of real estate developments in Japan, including major mixed-use projects in the heart of the nation's largest cities as well as hotels and resort operations in leading tourism locations.
The Mori Trust Group has its origins in the Mori Building Group, a city real estate developer founded by my grandfather, the economist and industrialist Taikichiro Mori. He passed on the business to his third son Akira, my father, founder of Japan's first resort with a corporate membership system, who transformed the organization into the Mori Trust Group that we know today. Since taking over as President and CEO in 2016, I have sought to pursue a range of initiatives and strategies tailored to the demands and expectations of the modern world, in line with our mission to create a positive legacy of sustainable and orderly development throughout society as set out in the medium to long-term vision statement Advance 2020.
The ever-changing needs of society
Our real estate arm is currently involved in a major mixed-use development project called Tokyo World Gate Akasaka. Scheduled for final completion in 2025, it will provide a seamless combination of business, tourism, and cultural facilities bringing together a diverse range of people in a stunning new destination precinct.
Our overseas investment arm is steadily assembling a diverse portfolio of interests that includes office building investment and development projects in the United States and construction of detached residential dwellings in Thailand.
On the hotels and resorts side, meanwhile, we are working closely with global standard foreign hotel chains to create a luxury destination network across major cities and resort areas throughout Japan. With new hotel launches in 2024 including the fully refurbished Mampei Hotel and the exciting new development Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street, we are dedicated to promoting the many unique attractions that Japan has to offer. In 2025, we will be opening 1 Hotel Tokyo at Tokyo World Gate Akasaka, the first domestic offering from this premium foreign-owned hotel brand.
The Mori Trust Group is committed to harnessing the recent increase in tourism demand by providing a range of unique regional offerings around Japan that will stimulate local economic growth and revitalize the tourism sector as a whole.
Into the future
Amidst rising global concern about sustainability issues, the Mori Trust Group looks forward to a future where socio-economic progress and environmental considerations go hand in hand, as enshrined in our vision for sustainability. From Urban Planning to Future Planning, which combines our extensive experience in the industry with a strong desire to innovate for the future.
In line with our corporate slogan Create the Future, the Mori Trust Group will adopt a flexible outlook and approach in pursuing our business operations with a view to playing our role in helping the nation to retain its competitive edge even during periods of heightened uncertainty.
