Tokyo, Japan, November 1, 2018 - Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., a leading global real estate company headquartered in Tokyo, announced today that it has decided to participate in the Suzhou City Changshu Southern 'Ming Yue Lan Ting', a built-for-sale housing project of 941 units, in the Changshu municipality in Suzhou City of Jiangsu Province in the People's Republic of China, through MFHK INVESTMENT LIMITED, a company established in Hong Kong. Mitsui Fudosan and MFHK INVESTMENT have therefore concluded a joint venture agreement with the Greentown Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. ('Greentown Group'), a subsidiary of Greentown China Holdings Ltd. (listed in Hong Kong). Mitsui Fudosan and the Greentown Group have established a project company to conduct joint investment and promote this project.

Suzhou City has a high GDP growth rate (7.1% in 2017) and is also located in close proximity to large cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing. A high-speed railway line providing links to large cities, including from the Changshu municipality in Suzhou City to Shanghai, is scheduled to open in 2020, and further development projects are expected in the city, of which this project is one. The planned site for this project is located in the center of Changshu, in an area highly convenient for daily-life activities, and where there are many people who want to purchase residences for the purpose of living in them themselves. The Mitsui Fudosan Group will have its first involvement in a residential project in a city in the east China area other than Shanghai. Looking ahead, the Group aims to acquire business opportunities in the east China area, where high economic growth continues to occur.

The Greentown Group is a leading developer that is always in the top section of sales rankings in China, and at the same time receives high praise from customers regarding its development of high-quality residences. They are renowned for their quality of development and high levels of satisfaction produced by its after-sales service for their customer's living environment. To maximize use of the Greentown Group's development capabilities and brand power in China, Mitsui Fudosan will maximize use of its expertise in residential development that it has cultivated up to now in Japan and overseas to promote this project. In carrying out this project together with the Greentown Group, Mitsui Fudosan will continue providing high quality housing into the future.
