Many Japanese companies own a range of real estate abroad, such as business sites, investment properties, recreational facilities, offices, company housing and idle land.
We consult extensively on how to best capitalize on this overseas real estate. A growing number of Japanese companies are considering asset liquidation from the perspective of recent global economic trends and global supply chain reconsiderations, and they are requesting book value and commercial transaction value assessments as well as on-site investigations to firstly ascertain the value of their real estate holdings.
We can accommodate any intended purpose, including condominiums, single office buildings, warehouses, and factory sites and others.
We also offer online consultations as a briefing service, so please contact us if you wish to avail of these our servicese.

For companies that dispatch expats to cities around the world, "objective comparisons" of rents and lease agreements are of vital importance.
We deal with more than 4,000 housing units for expats every year in a number of overseas cities, accumulating and analyzing contract data to offer a variety of solutions to many Japanese companies.
For example, if you need to ascertain the appropriate rent for each corporate year or contract renewal, when you need to figure out if you renew a contract or find other location, we will leverage our database of actual contracts to provide you with information promptly and in a manner that meets your needs.
As more Japanese companies are seeking to localize their overseas subsidiaries without expats, our advisory services from a "Japanese standpoint" as a third party are very useful, enabling us to respond to any requirement you may have from a flexible perspective.

How the housing cost burden is determined for resident employees varies depending on a variety of factors, including the country, company, and business practices.
For example, if housing rent is paid out of the resident employee's salary, the income tax and social security costs associated with it will also rise progressively.
As real estate prices and rent continue to rise in many overseas cities, these rising costs also present a challenge to management. Some companies are pursuing the purchase of company housing as a solution to this problem.
If the decision is made to continue conducting business in the city over the medium to long term and the area where the resident employee is to live is limited, the purchase of company housing is one viable means of hedging the risks described above.
Please feel free to contact us for suggestions concerning properties with high rental demand, taking exit strategies into consideration.

The timing for selecting an office coincides with the time for entering a new market and lease renewal.
For example, when your company is planning a new overseas business project, it is one of the essential items to consider in a feasibility study (FS). However, there is a lot of information to consider, such as area characteristics, rental market value, competitors' market entry, and staff commuting requirements, and also in cases where repeated visits to inspect the site are required on business trips from Japan, this entails a great deal of time and expense.
After discussing your company's conditions and concerns with you, we will furnish you with accurate information in collaboration with Starts' overseas offices.
If you have already established an overseas presence, you may receive a report from your company's overseas offices on whether you are renewing, looking for new premises or relocating.
In some cases, our clients seek our objective approach to these issues, so we work together with our overseas offices in these situations to formulate the requirements and propose solutions.
