Our story began in Hiroshima in the late summer of 1970. Back then we were a local architectural firm with expertise in providing affordable condominium designs to suit the burgeoning demand set by Japan’s rapid urbanisation. Building on our experience and techniques in residential planning and design, we transitioned into condominium development and set a goal to become leaders in the local market. Our first in-house development was successfully launched in 1990 and over the past 20 years we have completed more than 300 condominium projects in Japan and overseas, our “Polestar” brand becoming a household name in cities across the country.

Having established a strong domestic reputation and enjoying continued growth, we expanded our vision to encompass the rest of Asia. Our first overseas subsidiary was established in China in 2009, quickly followed by regional subsidiaries in Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as residential and commercial developments in all three countries. By applying flexible thinking to develop a widening range of innovative real estate products, we remain committed to our goal of creating new value in economies across the Asia Pacific region.

We take pride in our corporate vision of “Everyday Innovation”, consistently setting ourselves ever higher standards and relentlessly pursuing innovation in all aspects of our business. As we say here at Marimo, innovation is born from strong foundations, and this is the essence of how we approach new challenges and seize opportunities. Through meticulous research and analysis, and being constantly aware of the business climate in which we operate, we are able to open new doors without hesitation and, in doing so, start new chapters in the life of our company.
