First Implementation of Facial Recognition Technology at URBANEX Rental Apartments by Osaka Gas Urban Development
In a groundbreaking step towards modern living, Osaka Gas Urban Development Co. has partnered with DXYZ Co. to incorporate advanced facial recognition technology into its rental apartment brand, URBANEX. The first property to feature this innovative technology is URBANEX Sakaisujihonmachi, which is set to begin operations on December 26, 2025. The tagline for the URBANEX series, 'New choices for urban living,' reflects the company's commitment to providing high-quality residential options that emphasize convenience, modern design, and comfort.
Since the launch of its first property in 1996, the URBANEX series has expanded its reach to Kanto since 2006, catering to approximately 20,000 residents in urban centers across the Kansai and Kanto regions. The URBANEX Sakaisujihonmachi, located in the heart of the bustling Hommachi area, is strategically positioned for easy access to multiple transport lines, enhancing the living experience for residents. With two layout options, 1LDK+S and 2LDK, this development caters to individuals, couples, and even pet owners, providing flexible living spaces that can be tailored to personal preferences. Each apartment features a spacious open-plan living area with a versatile space for work and relaxation, complemented by a modern open-counter kitchen.
The introduction of DXYZ's FreeiD facial recognition ID platform at the entrance of URBANEX Sakaisujihonmachi brings unparalleled convenience. Residents can now access their apartments hands-free, significantly improving the ease of movement in and out of the building while ensuring their security through cutting-edge facial recognition technology. As lifestyle needs evolve, this integration addresses the growing demand for enhanced safety and convenience in residential settings.
DXYZ’s FreeiD platform connects various aspects of daily living—residents can enjoy seamless entry, payment solutions, and identity verification, all through a simple facial scan. This smart ID system integrates with numerous facial recognition AIs, allowing for tailored services across various scenarios, thereby creating a unique, keyless experience. Notably, FreeiD is not limited to residential applications; it is also expanding into various sectors such as offices, daycares, golf courses, and theme parks, furthering the reach of facial recognition technology in everyday life.
Within the collective housing segment, FreeiD aims to revolutionize urban living through fully facial recognition-secured apartments, eliminating the need for traditional keys entirely. With plans to complete over 340 units by February 2026, DXYZ is at the forefront of this innovative housing solution. The platform's versatility extends to office environments, where it facilitates visitor check-ins and employee access, effectively eliminating the need for physical ID cards, thereby streamlining operations.
As both Osaka Gas Urban Development and DXYZ move forward, they remain committed to enhancing the comfort and quality of life for residents. Their collaboration aims to not only improve the living experience but also to elevate the property's overall appeal and value.
