DAIBIRU CORPORATION (President & CEO: Takashi Maruyama, Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka), a group company of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), is pleased to announce the acquisition of major stake of the office and commercial building "Warwick Court" (hereafter "the Property") located in the City of London.
This marks Daibiru's second project in the UK, following the acquisition of "Capital House" in June last year, which was its first entry into the UK market.

The property is located in the heart of the City of London that has long flourished as a center of financial district. Alongside Wall Street in New York, the City of London has led the global economy and established itself as a major international financial hub. Even today, many of the world's leading financial institutions maintain a presence in the City. London's office market remains highly attractive due to its strong liquidity and transparency as a core market. Even after Brexit, the city has maintained its position as a leading international financial center.
Under MOL group management plan "BLUE ACTION 2035," we are working to transform our business portfolio by increasing the weight of non-shipping and stable revenue businesses to offset the volatility of the shipping market and ensure profitability even during market downturns. In addition, we position our regional strategy-which promotes overseas investment, including new business development leveraging our global network-as a key growth initiative.
This project was also realized through the collaboration between Daibiru, which has been engaged in the office building business for over 100 years and participates in office development projects in Vietnam, Australia, and India, and our regional organizations operating globally. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen synergies and cooperation within the Group, striving for the growth of our Group and the enhancement of corporate value.
