What Japan Real Estate Investment does

A J-REIT sponsored by Mitsubishi Estate, owning primarily office buildings in major Japanese cities.

Collects rent from office tenants under leases where rents change slowly, so income is steady, and pays out most of it as distributions. It was among the first two J-REITs when Japan's REIT market opened in 2001. Its manager is owned by Mitsubishi Estate, which can also offer it buildings to buy.

In one line: A large office REIT sponsored by a major developer.
