History

Our Origin: Den-en Chofu Urban Development

Den-en Toshi Company was established in 1918 by Eiichi Shibusawa and others. The Company developed the Den-en Chofu district as a residential area in Tamagawadai, incorporating an English garden city concept offering the advantages of both natural and urban environments.

1953–1960s

Although Japan recovered after the Second World War and entered a period of rapid economic growth, a conspicuous housing shortage arose with population concentration in major metropolitan areas. To eliminate that shortage, Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Group provided housing and commercial facilities mainly in Shibuya, where the Group was based.

1970s–1980s

Now that Japan had become an economic superpower, people sought spiritual enrichment and society, culture, and everyday life became more diverse. The Group promoted business diversification in property management, real estate brokerage, retailing, resorts and other areas, growing into a corporate group offering total lifestyle services.

1990s–2000s

Amid the prolonged stagnation of the Japanese economy, land prices fell and people began to return to the cities. As lifestyles and values became more diverse, the Group shifted its focus from the development of suburban housing to the leasing of offices, commercial facilities, and other properties.

–Present

Today responding to global climate change and the needs of a digital society are urgent issues. Promoting sustainable urban development leveraging the Group’s strengths, we have strived to create value that combines economic and environmental sustainability.
