Sekisui House celebrates 15 years of operation in Australia, delivering over 13,000 homes and residences for Australian families with 27 mixed-use masterplanned communities completed or in the pipeline, and total projects valuing $17 billion.

Reflecting on this milestone achievement, Group CEO & Managing Director at Sekisui House Australia, Hironobu Seto shares, “Our achievements in Australia over the past 15-years have been significant. We have grown a portfolio of leading mixed-use apartment precincts including landmark developments like West Village in Brisbane, and The Orchards, Melrose Park and Sanctuary in Sydney, as well as our premium SHAWOOD home product, setting new standards for sustainable and technologically advanced home building in Australia.

“We have also brought to life a range of vibrant masterplanned communities through our premium SHAWOOD brand, such as Gledswood Hills and Norman Estates in Sydney’s South West, which have achieved significant sales success and driven value for the region, with one of our homes setting a new house price record for the area,” states Seto.

Sekisui House expanded its operations into Australia in 2009, building on its established and successful foundation in Japan where innovative design and a technology-led approach to homebuilding is core to the company’s philosophy. The business adapted its unique approach to homebuilding to suit the local market, carving a path for success in delivering sustainable, quality and research-driven homes.

In 2023, Sekisui House Australia was awarded a 4 out 5 Gold Star rating from the Independent Construction Industry Rating Tool (iCIRT), underscoring an unwavering commitment to quality, certainty, and customer satisfaction for Australian home buyers.

“This certification strengthens our customers' confidence in us and reinforces our position as a trusted leader in the industry,” states Seto.

Sekisui House’s approach to homebuilding and design has resonated strongly with Australian homebuyers and industry bodies. Numerous projects including West Village, Gledswood Hills and Central Park have received recognition through various prestigious awards, such UDIA National Awards for Excellence, Better Future Sydney Design Awards, ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence, Property Council of Australia, A National Innovation & Excellence Awards, and REA Excellence Awards.

Sekisui House Australia’s strong and growing portfolio of premium residential estates in New South Wales is underpinned by industry-leading sustainability. With current projects including a new masterplanned residential community, Asora in Norwest, development approval of two new stages at Melrose Park adding 836 apartments, and third-stage construction underway at Sanctuary in Wentworth Point and new acquisitions in north Kellyville and St Leonards Sekisui House has solidified its presence over the past 15 years as a strong player, with the privilege of delivering a unique offering to more Australians.

“We have used our innate drive and technological expertise to create truly innovative solutions for the Australian market in the areas of efficient home design, sustainable construction and resident health and wellbeing.”

“We look forward to many more years of creating homes for our customers and contributing to the continued growth of the Australian housing market with our team and partners,” concludes Seto.
