Sekisui House Australia Holdings Pty Limited is the Australian operating subsidiary of Sekisui House Ltd., a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Japanese residential developer founded in 1960 that has built more than 2.7 million homes globally. The Australian entity develops and sells masterplanned residential communities and house-and-land products across New South Wales and Queensland, anchored by three flagship projects: The Orchards in Norwest (an 8.1-hectare masterplan delivering approximately 1,300 apartments across five stages with 950+ units pre-sold), Sanctuary at Wentworth Point (a multi-stage waterfront community totaling over 1,200 apartments), and the West Village mixed-use heritage precinct in Brisbane (a 6 Star Green Star – Communities rated development with over 50 industry awards).

The company's product portfolio combines apartment product lines (Veue, Lumia, Zeste, Willow, Laguna & Glade, Summit & Ridge) with the SHAWOOD house brand, all designed around Japanese design philosophies including Satoyama ("ribbons of green") and Michi. Technical differentiators include 6,000 square metres of solar generating 1 GWh annually, EV charging, water-efficient 6 Star WELS utilities, smart-home integration, and the Altogether Group utility partnership for integrated water, power, and data services. The Orchards alone uses 6,500 tonnes of reinforced steel and 52,000+ cubic metres of concrete.

The business operates a direct-sales model through display suites, sales offices, and field representatives (head office in Macquarie Park plus sales offices at Wentworth Point and Norwest), targeting first home buyers, growing families, downsizers, property investors, SMSF/trust buyers, and foreign investors. Revenue is generated through one-time residential property sales and mixed-use development transactions, with pricing ranging from approximately $715,000 for entry-level apartments to $4 million+ for premium penthouses. Construction is outsourced to specialist builders including Westbourne Constructions and Parkview Constructions, keeping the corporate headcount lean at 11–50 employees. The company holds a 4 Gold Star iCIRT rating and, as of 2025, Triple ISO Certification (ISO 45001, 14001, 9001) across all Australian operations.
