Mitsui Home Achieves 100 Orders for Wooden Condominiums, Pioneering the Market with New 'MOCXION' Brand

Mitsui Home Co., Ltd. announced that as of May 15, 2026, its cumulative orders for wooden condominiums have reached 100 buildings.

In recent years, low-environmental-impact wooden architecture has gained attention as a means to achieve a decarbonized society. While the government has promoted this through measures like the 'Act for Promotion of Use of Wood in Urban Buildings,' the adoption of wood in mid-to-high-rise buildings remains low.

Against this backdrop, Mitsui Home, a leading company in 2x4 construction, has been promoting the use of wood for mid-rise and larger multi-family housing. In 2021, it launched Japan's first wooden condominium brand, 'MOCXION,' creating a new category in the market.

By leveraging proprietary technologies such as the high-strength 'MOCX WALL,' the company's wooden condominiums have overcome traditional challenges of mid-to-high-rise timber construction, including earthquake resistance, fire resistance, and sound insulation. Simultaneously, they utilize the inherent benefits of wood, such as high insulation, energy efficiency, and excellent humidity control, earning high praise for both comfort and sustainability.

The carbon stored in these 100 buildings amounts to a cumulative total of 11,291 t-CO₂. Mitsui Home plans to continue evolving its environmentally friendly wooden homes through technology, contributing to a sustainable society.

The 'wooden condominium' initiative also aims to enhance the real estate value of wooden apartment buildings, which were previously classified as 'apartments.' By meeting specific performance criteria (e.g., 3+ stories, multi-family housing, Grade 3 deterioration mitigation, Grade 3 earthquake resistance or Grade 4 fire resistance), these properties can now be registered and marketed as 'condominiums.' 'MOCXION' is the first brand in Japan to meet these requirements.
