Elevator Digital Signage Revolutionizes Building Competitiveness in Kansai Region

Elevating Building Value with Digital Signage

In a significant development within the real estate sector, GRAND Corporation has proudly announced that its innovative elevator digital signage services, Elevi and Ereshinema, have reached a remarkable milestone of over 1,000 installations in the Kansai region as of April 2026. This achievement comes just one year after launching these services in April 2025, penning a new chapter in how office buildings engage with their tenants and visitors.

As professionals step into elevators, they often find themselves absorbed in their smartphones. This tendency highlights an opportunity for office buildings: transforming this idle time into meaningful engagement through information infrastructure. Elevi and Ereshinema aim to capitalize on this phenomenon by enhancing tenant communications while delivering timely information in a visually appealing manner.

Why Kansai Region?

The surge in installations in Kansai can be attributed to a rapid redevelopment of large office buildings in urban Osaka, coinciding with a rising demand for digital transformation in workplace environments. Leveraging its successful track record and trust from the Tokyo metropolitan area, GRAND Corporation has captured significant interest from building owners and property management companies, exceeding initial expectations.

A Winning Proposition for Building Owners

One of the primary reasons building owners and property managers are turning to these digital signage solutions is the low barrier to entry. GRAND Corporation takes on all costs associated with the devices and installation, allowing property owners to introduce these systems without any initial investment. Moreover, the company offers a comprehensive service that includes operation, maintenance, and content updates.

The benefits of this arrangement go beyond simple cost savings. Partners at various properties have reported significant improvements, as they discover that Elevi and Ereshinema address pressing tenant communication challenges effectively.

Solutions to Tenant Communication Challenges

1. Cost Reduction: The digital signage system saves on costs associated with traditional promotional methods, such as printing new posters or distributing leaflets within buildings.
2. Enhanced Tenant Satisfaction: Providing regular updates on news, weather, safety information, and facility guidelines transforms previously unproductive time in elevators into valuable, informative experiences.
3. Strengthening Property Competitiveness: Even older buildings can refresh their image at low costs without undergoing expensive renovations, thereby attracting and retaining tenants more effectively.
4. ESG and DX Compliance: The digital management of information showcases a commitment to digital transformation and sets a benchmark for building management practices, adding value to owners' portfolios.

Each of these advantages contributes to higher tenant retention rates and supports long-term net operating income (NOI) through sustained asset value.

Future Expansion Plans

As GRAND Corporation looks to the future, the company not only aims to further expand its footprint in the Kansai region but also intends to accelerate deployments in major urban areas such as Fukuoka and Nagoya. This expansion of what they call Office Building Media sets a new standard for redefining real estate values in a crowded marketplace.
