Our company was founded in 1948, soon after the end of World War II, for the purpose of constructing the Hanshin Racetrack for the development of horse racing, backed by the strong desire of major horse owners in the Kansai area and the local business community for the revival of a horse racing track in the Hanshin area, a plan that was also supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (now Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). The company, therefore, was named Keihanshin Horse Racing Co., Ltd. when it was first incorporated. After many difficulties, Hanshin Racetrack was completed in Nigawa, Takarazuka city, Hyogo Prefecture in 1949. It was first leased to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, but later was transferred to the newly established Japan Racing Association in 1955.

We took this opportunity to change our corporate name to Keihanshin Real Estate Co., Ltd., and entered the business of general real estate. In addition to the leasing of off-track betting offices (WINS), which had been one of our core businesses since our incorporation, we launched the office building leasing business in 1962 by building our first office building, the Kawaramachi Building on Midosuji street in Chuo-ku, Osaka.

Today, we are developing business by concentrating management resources on the business of leasing commercial space. Therefore, we will clarify the future direction we are aiming to go in. We changed the corporate name on October 1, 2011.
