A Revenue-Generating Building

Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo income-generating building

Utilizing our extensive know-how in replanning, we fully renovate properties to be safe, stable, and hassle-free.

Originally constructed as a cram school, the building later became a corporate-owned property. It had several issues, such as poor traffic flow with the basement and first floor used as parking, the second floor as the entrance, the parking area being repurposed for other uses, and illegal extensions. After acquiring the building, we utilized our accumulated know-how from previous building revitalizations to address these problems and carried out a full renovation. This enhanced the property’s value as a safe, stable, and hassle-free tenant building in the mid to long term.
