## Business segments

Sekisui House reports four main business groupings. Built-to-Order comprises custom detached houses, rental housing and commercial buildings constructed for customers, and architectural and civil engineering work. Supplied Housing covers management of rental properties and remodeling of existing homes. Development includes houses for sale and real-estate brokerage, condominiums, and urban redevelopment. Overseas Business covers housing and related development outside Japan. [18](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/company/financial/library/ir_document/_227230/2025_kessan/f20260305_10.pdf)[2](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/english/company/info/business/)

In the fiscal year ended January 2026, Built-to-Order generated approximately 32% of consolidated net sales, Supplied Housing 21%, Development 17%, and Overseas Business 31%. These are approximate shares calculated from reported business-group sales; they do not sum to exactly 100% because other sales and intersegment adjustments reconcile the group figures to consolidated sales.

## Company history

Sekisui House traces its origins to the housing division of Sekisui Chemical. It was incorporated in August 1960 as Sekisui House Sangyo, began producing prefabricated homes, and adopted the Sekisui House name in 1963. The company listed on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges in 1970 and moved to their first sections in 1971. [19](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/english/company/info/history/)[20](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/company/info/history/)

In 1989, Sekisui House established a corporate philosophy centered on “love of humanity.” It introduced a home equipped with photovoltaic power generation in 1999 and standardized next-generation energy-saving specifications in 2003. The company expanded into Australian housing development in 2009 and reported that cumulative homes built had reached two million in January 2010. [19](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/english/company/info/history/)[21](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/company/info/philosophy/)[22](https://www.sekisuihouse.co.jp/company/topics/topics_archive/newsobj1393/)

Sekisui House expanded its U.S. homebuilding business through the acquisition of Woodside Homes in 2017. It acquired another U.S. homebuilder, M.D.C. Holdings, in 2024.
