Frequently asked questions
What is the role of art and architecture in the Obayashi investment strategy?
Art patronage is a parallel asset strand, not a philanthropic afterthought. Takeo Obayashi commissioned Tadao Ando to build the Yu-un Guesthouse in Tokyo to house his collection, and the office holds site-specific commissions. His positions on the boards of MoMA, Tate, and the Centre Pompidou underscore how cultural capital facilitates access and co-investment dialogue that pure financial engineering cannot replicate.
Where are Obayashi's real estate assets concentrated geographically?
The disclosed portfolio spans three continents: City of London (60 Gracechurch Street commercial freehold, 20 Gracechurch Street mixed-use), central Tokyo (Shinagawa Intercity Tower B, Yu-un Guesthouse), and Southeast Asia (O-NES TOWER, Bangkok). Japanese logistics is represented by the Kumiyama Distribution Center in Kyoto.
