UNITED KINGDOM Daibiru enters the U.K. market for the first time

Advancing Group collaboration in global capital London

Overview of Daibiru’s first foray into the U.K.

In June 2025, we acquired Capital House, a building located in the heart of London’s financial district; our first foray into the European region. One minute’s walk from Bank Station, a strategic location close to the Bank of England and other major institutions, Capital House also enjoys high ratings in the area of environmental certifications, such as being BREEAM certified. The MOL Group has also decided to house its London base of operations there, making it a key hub for the Group’s global business.

London, U.K., our first foray into Europe

In June 2025, we acquired Capital House in the center of London’s financial district. London is a major office market where many Forbes Global 2000 companies have their headquarters. It is well-regarded by global investors as a core market with a high degree of liquidity and transparency. Since Brexit, this global city continues to maintain its position as an international financial center. This building is one minute’s walk from Bank Station, a strategic location close to the Bank of England and other major institutions.
It boasts high ratings such as BREEAM, a highly valued environmental standard, giving the office building a competitive edge in the City of London. Furthermore, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Group companies, for which London is a key base of the global business, are set to house their offices here.

VIEWPOINT

Aiming for full occupancy of our first U.K. investment property

While we ran into various difficulties from the start of our study into investment in the U.K., we managed to overcome these, and it has come as a great relief to complete the acquisition of our first property there, Capital House. When I first set eyes on the building, I felt it was perfect for our company, which favors buildings of distinguished character in prime locations representative of their city. While struggling with the time difference between Japan and the U.K., and with British English, I am working with a team of experts, aiming to operate at full occupancy.
