Due to the steady and reliable increase of population in our areas of operation, we expect a sturdy and long-lasting demand for housing in the U.S. We develop single-family homes after determining areas which have a viable chance of growth in their respective housing market; utilizing a detailed market research analysis approach to determine actual demand.
Since our entrance into the U.S. housing market in 2003, our business has seen a steady expansion, with our current focus being on providing high-quality housing in a wide range of areas from the East to West Coast through our five affiliated housing builders. In its totality, the Sumitomo Forestry Group and its affiliated companies would be ranked as the 10th among builders throughout the U.S. in terms of the total number of closed housing units in 2019.
Our five affiliated builders have their own set of unique characteristics which vary from business areas, target groups, and prices in order to address a broad spectrum of consumer demands. We believe this diversified approach allows for more versatility which subsequently substantially lowers business risks.
* This rank is assuming our five builder companies and their respective number of closed housing units are combined and compared to other companies in the US builder magazine “2020 Builder 100”.
