This is aimed at reorganizing and strengthening the headquarters’ role, as this is currently decentralized in Shinjuku, Ebisu, Mitaka and Omiya.
The company’s current head office is located in the “Shinjuku Subaru Building”, with the site accommodating the offices for 44 years now. However, the available space has become insufficient for the working environment. This is why the company wants to move into a new location.
“FHI took its Head Office in “Toufuji Building”, where the current Shinjuku Subaru Building is located, in 1953 at its foundation. It was transferred to Marunouchi, Tokyo in 1954, then finally returned back to Shinjuku Subaru Building after its construction in 1966. As FHI will soon celebrate sixty years anniversary of foundation, this transfer of Head Office will be the start of new history. FHI will continue to provide the distinctive experience for customers through excellent products,” stated the press release.
In addition to that, FHI and Osakyu Electric Railway have reached a sales agreement for Shinjuku Subaru Building and its land. The site will be sold for 34 billion yen.
“Though transfer of ownership of Shinjuku Subaru Building with the disposal is scheduled to be on April 28, 2011, FHI will continue to operate as headquarter with the leaseback of Shinjuku Subaru Building for around four years. During this period, it will reconstruct Ebisu Subaru Building and complete the transfer of Head office,” stated the press release.
