Dentsu Sells Historic Ginza HQ for $200M+ Gain Amid Global Review

  • Dentsu sold its former Ginza headquarters in Tokyo, expecting over $200 million gain by January 30, 2026.
  • The sale is part of Dentsu's "asset optimization" strategy and broader global portfolio reassessment.
  • The Ginza Building, built in 1933, served as Dentsu's HQ until 1967, symbolizing its post-war growth.
  • The move comes as Dentsu explores options for its international businesses, including potential divestment, following mixed financial results.
  • While Japan shows strong organic growth, international markets, including APAC, are lagging, prompting strategic re-evaluation.

Why It Matters: Dentsu monetizes a legacy asset for significant gain, signaling a strategic shift amid global business re-evaluation.
