BUILD ON SOMETHING SOLID
A message from our parent company
Over 330+ years we have expanded our businesses and now operate across forestry, manufacturing and distribution of timber and building materials, housing both in Japan and overseas, and biomass power generation.
Sumitomo Forestry Group has a shareholder funds position of AUD $7 billion (based on net assets of JPY 682.6 trillion at 31 December 2022 converted at the average exchange rate over the 12 months to that date).
Our History
In 2022, our group net sales were AUD $18.3 billion and recurring income was AUD $2.1 billion. Our housing and construction businesses settled 26,000 detached homes and apartments globally. Please be assured, if you are building with us or considering building a new home, you are in safe hands.
We look forward to completing your new home to our renowned high standard of quality.
KoichiNomoto Koichi Nomoto Managing Director Sumitomo Forestry Australia
Henley Properties Group was founded in 1989 by three friends - Peter Hayes, Rob Bowen & John Harvey, with a vision to make home ownership more affordable for Australian families. That vision has seen us build over 50,000 homes across Victoria, Queensland, NSW and South Australia.
Our vision has never been to be the biggest, but to deliver homes with a sustainable business model to a consistently high standard.
Since 2009, we have continued to operate as a local builder with the security and financial backing of our parent company, the Sumitomo Forestry Group.
2023 Key Highlights
• Investment in new display home locations across metro Melbourne, regional Victoria and South East Queensland
• Purchase of new land for our completed homes division across Victoria, Queensland, NSW and South Australia
• Continue to guarantee our trades and suppliers will be paid on time, every time so they can confidently continue to work on our building sites with the peace of mind that they can provide for their families
