Section 3. Strengthening Our Corporate Structure
4. The Establishment of a Building Management Company
On October 1, 1956, shortly after the construction of the Shin-Daibiru Building had begun, the three individual companies engaged in building management operations within Daibiru Buildings at the time, namely Kensei Shokai, Osaka Kensosha, and Chihiro Shokai, merged to establish Kansai Tatemono Kanri (now Kosan Kanri Service West Co., Ltd.). This merger was undertaken to enhance building development, streamline management, and modernize operations with support from our company. The company’s initial capitalization was 300,000 yen, and it had 15 employees. Its capital was increased to 1 million yen in August 1958, to 3.6 million yen in April 1982, and to 14.4 million yen in 1986, with our company owning an 80% stake.
Osaka All Service was established on October 25, 1963 to provide comprehensive services related to building management. Initially, the company’s main business was the management and operation of parking lots, but it later started accepting management contracts for the Shin-Daibiru Building’s rooftop tree garden, for company housing and recreational facilities, and for rental villas.
With the completion of the Dojima Daibiru Building in September, 1984 and the opening of the ANA Hotel Osaka in October, 1984, Osaka All Service took over facility management duties for the building. It took on the same duties for the adjacent Club Kansai starting in November of that year. Furthermore, the company was commissioned to provide security services for the Daibiru-Honkan Building and the Shin-Daibiru Building in January 1989, and over time, it took over facility management duties for our company’s other buildings as well. In the meantime, on July 1, 1964, Osaka All Service opened the Tokyo Sales Office to conduct minor repair work for the Hibiya Daibiru Buildings and parking lot management for the Yaesu Daibiru Building.

Janitorial work at the Shin-Daibiru Building
ESCA Corporation was established as a subsidiary in Tokyo on February 1, 1986. It was a comprehensive building maintenance company that would take over the operations of Kansai Tatemono Kanri and Osaka All Service’s Tokyo Sales Office, with its headquarters at the Hibiya Daibiru complex. It had a capitalization of 10 million yen, and the entire investment came from our company. ESCA, the company name, was an acronym for Equipment, Security, Cleaning, and Administration. The company was established because of the difficulty that Kansai Tatemono Kanri and Osaka All Service—both located in the Kansai region—had in terms of business expansion in Tokyo. Following its establishment, the company took over cleaning, security, and facility management duties for the Hibiya, Yaesu, Kojimachi, and Uchisaiwaicho buildings, and general management duties for Tateshina Sanso and the Mita-Nitto Daibiru Building. In 1988, the cleaning department, security department, and concierge services were spun off from ESCA to form a new company, CS Services Co., Ltd., which was later acquired by ESCA.
On April 1, 1986, Quish Building Management, a 50–50 joint venture between our company and Osaka All Service, changed its name to Repac Co., Ltd. and made a fresh start. It had been established in December 1962 to provide air conditioning and sanitary equipment repair services for the Daibiru-Honkan Building and the Shin-Daibiru Building. Our company invested in it in August 1974, and Osaka All Service later acquired all of the shares owned by the founder’s family when they retired form management. The new company name was an acronym for Repair, Plumbing, and Air-Conditioning. The company offered repair work services in addition to facility maintenance management.
