- Pressance Corporation (3254.T), a subsidiary of Open House Group Co., Ltd., engages in real estate development and management in Japan, primarily planning, developing, selling, and managing studio apartments, family apartments, condominiums, and detached housing; brokerage, leasing, and management of properties including parking lots and buildings; rent debt guarantees; property insurance agency services; interior construction; hotel operations; and real estate consulting, research, and general transactions. The company offers brands such as the Pressance series for urban condominiums in prime locations, targeting investment and family buyers, with a focus on central areas in the Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto), Tokai-Chukyo (Nagoya), Kanto, and Okinawa regions, where it holds top supply rankings including No. 1 in Kansai for 15 consecutive years and nationwide No. 2 position. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan, Pressance operates subsidiaries like Pressance Realta for brokerage and MelDia Development & Construction for land and building production in regions including Aichi and Shizuoka.
In a major strategic development, Open House Group completed a tender offer in February 2025 to acquire the remaining 36.58% stake in Pressance for JPY 60.7 billion ($390 million) at JPY 2,390 per share, making Pressance a wholly owned subsidiary and leading to its delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard market effective March 28, 2025. This transaction, financed by a loan from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., enhances integration within the Open House Group, building on prior ownership and supporting expanded development capabilities amid robust demand for urban residential properties. Pressance continues to emphasize efficient pre-sale strategies, joint ventures on multiple projects, and diverse product lines including investment condos and family units to maintain strong sales growth.
