What United Urban Investment does

Diversified J-REIT holding retail, office and hotel properties nationwide, sponsored by trading house Marubeni.

Collects rent under leases and pays out most of its profit, with hotel rents often partly tied to how the hotels perform, so hotels make it more cyclical than an office-only REIT. A management company affiliated with Marubeni runs it for fees.

In one line: A diversified mall-office-hotel REIT sponsored by a trading company.
