Company history
Mitsubishi Estate’s roots in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district date to 1890, when Yanosuke Iwasaki acquired the land from the Japanese government. The original Marunouchi Building was completed there in 1923, before Mitsubishi Estate was established on May 7, 1937.[2][1]
The company formulated a comprehensive plan to redevelop Marunouchi in 1959 and began developing Izumi Park Town near Sendai in 1972. Its overseas business began in the 1970s; in 1989, it agreed to acquire a 51% stake in Rockefeller Group in the United States.[2][3][33] The rebuilt Marunouchi Building opened in 2002, followed by the Shin-Marunouchi Building in 2007.[2] [2][1][3][33]
