The Company was formed in 1935 as Daejan Samoedra Estates Ltd to acquire rubber and coffee plantations in the Dutch East Indies, today's Indonesia, mostly on the island of Java.

In 1959 Osias Freshwater reversed his property business (a number of landmark buildings in London) into the company and this is now its sole activity. The name of the Company changed to Daejan Holdings Limited. [2] [3] In 2012 Daejan bought 139-143 Oxford Street for £12.8 million. [4]
In December 2018, it was reported that Park West, a building managed by a Freshwater Group subsidiary, [5] had a very high proportion of flats under investigation for being let out illegally. [6]
