Company history
Sumitomo Realty & Development was established on December 1, 1949, as Izumi Real Estate, succeeding the real-estate business of Sumitomo Honsha after the postwar breakup of the Sumitomo conglomerate. It adopted its present name in 1957 and expanded into residential development during the 1960s, including condominium sales beginning in 1964. The company listed on the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchanges in 1970.[1][30]
The completion of the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building in 1974 marked a major step in its Tokyo office development; the company moved its headquarters there that year. It completed the Shinjuku NS Building and moved its headquarters again in 1982. Beyond office and condominium development, it expanded into custom homes in 1995 and home remodeling in 1996. Later large-scale developments included Izumi Garden Tower, completed in 2002, and Tokyo Nihombashi Tower, completed in 2015.[30] [1][30]
