Made of special high-damping rubber, the SHEQAS damper maintains its effectiveness even after multiple large earthquakes or aftershocks, providing housing in which residents can continue to live with peace of mind.

This is why we have Customer Centers nationwide. Information about customer housing is also managed on a central company wide system.
