Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan, the company operates through segments including custom detached houses such as its SHAWOOD wooden-framed brand; rental housing and commercial building design and construction; architecture and civil engineering works; remodeling and renovation services; real estate brokerage, subleasing, and management; condominium sales and development; and overseas businesses focused on single-family homes, land development, and apartments. It maintains factories in Tohoku, Kanto, Shizuoka, Hyogo, and Yamaguchi regions; research institutes for housing and human life; and sales offices, customer service centers, and display homes across Japan, with international operations in the United States, Australia, and Singapore.
The company has delivered over 2.6 million houses cumulatively and emphasizes sustainable, high-performance homes including net-zero-energy houses (ZEH) and universal design features for lifelong housing. Subsidiaries include Sekisui House Real Estate Holdings, Ltd. for brokerage and leasing; Sekisui House Remodeling, Ltd.; and U.S. entities like Woodside Homes, Chesmar Homes, Holt Homes, and the acquired M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. (now reorganized), enabling annual supply of approximately 15,000 units across 16 U.S. states.
Recent developments include the April 2024 completion of the $4.9 billion acquisition of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., bolstering U.S. homebuilding with brands like Richmond American Homes and advancing the goal of 10,000 overseas detached homes annually by fiscal 2025; a March 2025 acquisition of shares in TSUCHIYA HOLDINGS CO., LTD.; and a September 2025 reorganization of four U.S. consolidated subsidiaries into one company with a name change for the former M.D.C. entity. Additional initiatives encompass expanded partnerships, such as with Brookfield Residential and Hankyu Hanshin Properties for Australian projects like Melrose Park; awards for SHAWOOD communities including Sommers Bend at The Nationals 2025; and sustainability recognitions like CDP A List status for forests, water, and climate.
