Business Details

Operating primarily in central Tokyo, this segment manages rental residential real estate through three business formats: owned properties, sublease (master lease) arrangements, and property management contracts. Rental income (lease revenue) accounts for the majority of sales, making this a stock-type business model that provides stable earnings for the group as a whole. Through brokerage activities, the segment captures user needs and rent trends, also serving a feedback function to the development and sales business.

Recent Overview

Interim revenue down 2.4% year on year to ¥1,407 million; profit margin largely maintained

In the Operations and Management Business for H1 FY2026 (ending March 2026) (November 2025 to April 2026), revenue was ¥1,407 million (down 2.4% year on year) and segment profit was ¥305 million (down 3.7% year on year). Rental income and other revenue (lease revenue) was ¥1,153 million, a slight decrease from ¥1,162 million in the prior-year period. Although residential rents in central Tokyo continued their upward trend and demand remained resilient, results were slightly below the prior-year period despite ongoing efforts to improve quality and efficiency. The segment profit margin was largely maintained at 21.7%, compared with 22.0% in the prior-year period.

Key Products

service
Management of self-owned rental apartments

Operates rental management of self-owned properties, generating stable rental income. Recorded on the balance sheet as tangible fixed assets (buildings and land), this forms the core of the stock-type revenue model, which involves depreciation expense.

service
Sublease (master lease)

A format in which properties are master-leased from owners and then subleased to tenants. While the group bears vacancy risk, it enables stable expansion of managed unit counts. This format entails inherent reverse-spread risk when vacancies occur.

service
Property management outsourcing

Undertakes management of rental real estate on an outsourced basis, providing services such as tenant support, building management, and rent collection. This format allows expansion of the management portfolio while limiting the company's own risk.

service
Brokerage services

Conducts tenant recruitment and brokerage for rental properties. Also serves a feedback function to the development and sales business by capturing market rent trends and user needs.

service
Large-scale renovation

Conducts large-scale renovations of self-owned and managed properties to maintain and enhance property competitiveness and stabilize occupancy rates.

Growth Drivers

  • An upward trend in residential rents and resilient rental demand, driven by net population inflow into central Tokyo
  • Properties completed and sold in the development and sales business continuously flow into this segment as self-owned, sublease, or management-outsourced properties, expanding the management portfolio
  • Expansion of the rental asset portfolio through active acquisition of tangible fixed assets (net buildings and structures of ¥6,155 million, land of ¥6,682 million)
  • Maintenance and improvement of segment profit margin through ongoing efforts to improve quality and efficiency

Risks

  • Rising acquisition costs for new properties due to soaring real estate prices and increased construction costs
  • Increased borrowing costs due to rising interest rates (interest expense increased from ¥47 million in the prior-year period to ¥66 million in the current interim period)
  • Risk of declining tenant rent-paying capacity and rising vacancy rates due to inflation and economic downturn
  • Reverse-spread risk on sublease properties when vacancies occur (loss from the difference between rent paid to owners and rent received from tenants)
  • Slower pace of management portfolio expansion due to intensifying competition for acquiring new business sites in central Tokyo
