Australia
In 2008, The Sumitomo Forestry Group established a joint venture with a leading housing company in Australia, the Henley Properties Group, for the construction and sale of single-family homes.
Through capital participation with Henley in 2009, and the acquisition of the equity interests of Wisdom Properties Group in 2016, we have focused on offering order homes as well as ready built homes in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia. In addition, the entry of the Scott Park Group, which offers order homes in Western Australia, into the Sumitomo Forestry Group in 2019 helped our expansion of our current group network from the eastern to western regions of Australia. The number of housing starts of single-family homes would be ranked 2nd* in Australia when compared to other businesses.
We are providing housing to a wide range of customers by utilizing multiple brands with different price ranges across Australia, where there is an expected long-term growth in population.
* The rank is applicable, assuming the total number of housing starts by the three companies (Henley, Wisdom, Scott Park) is ranked in the ‘housing starts rankings by builders’ organized by the Housing Industry Association (HIA). (Fiscal year ended June, 2019)
