Inheriting the DNA of the Sponsors
Top REIT consigns management of its assets to Top REIT Asset Management Co., Ltd. (TRAM), the Asset Manager, which was established by The Sumitomo Trust and Banking Co., Ltd. (currently Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited.) Nippon Steel City Produce, Inc., and Oji Real Estate Co., Ltd. (individually and collectively called the Sponsor Company/Companies). In setting up TRAM, the three companies dispatched and combined their staff with experience in a variety of areas including real estate development, brokerage, business administration and investment management. This allowed the Asset Manager to inherit the know-how and policies that the Sponsor Companies have long fostered in real estate and financing. By “Inheriting the DNA of the Sponsors,” the Asset Manager aims to maximize the investment value of Top REIT’s unitholders under the following three maxims of its business philosophy.
