Overview

Intrance is a real estate developer founded in 1998, specializing in the regeneration of used properties and property management primarily in central Tokyo.

Current Situation

Intrance, based mainly in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, focuses on the regeneration of used commercial buildings, office buildings, and residential properties, as well as property management. For the fiscal year ended March 2021, net sales were approximately 1.17 billion yen, but operating and net profits were in the red, posing challenges for business reconstruction. After listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers in 2006, the Lehman Shock severely impacted operations, leading to acquisition by an inbound-related company in 2018 and entry into the inbound foreign tourist business. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it sold the trust beneficiary rights of a luxury accommodation facility in Wakayama Marina City to streamline operations. Centering on property renovation, it maintains strengths in urban regeneration while diversifying into building maintenance and real estate investment fund management. It is stabilizing capital through major shareholder changes and subsidiary establishments, positioning inbound tourism recovery and central Tokyo used property demand as growth drivers. Future challenges include improving earnings structure and building a stable revenue base through diversification, with emphasis on sustainable property utilization and enhanced regional collaboration.
