DXYZ Integrates FreeiD Technology into Leaf City Ichikawa Residence

In a significant step towards enhancing urban living, DXYZ Corporation, part of Migaro Holdings, has announced the implementation of its face recognition platform, FreeiD, at the new Leaf City Ichikawa Residence developed by Keiyo Gas. This development marks DXYZ's maiden venture into Chiba Prefecture for their face recognition services, featuring both FreeiD Mansion and FreeiD Reserve offerings.

Overview of Leaf City Ichikawa Development

Leaf City Ichikawa is a comprehensive development project initiated by Keiyo Gas, aimed at creating a rich, green urban environment through middle and high-rise residential complexes. The Leaf City Ichikawa Residence, situated on approximately 3.7 hectares, is a 9-story residential building with 235 rental units, conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Ichikawa Station.

This eco-friendly apartment complex aims to contribute to a decarbonized society by achieving excellent insulation and energy-saving performance, having obtained ZEH-M Oriented certification. It is equipped with non-fossil value electricity for common areas and features solar panels along with a battery storage system to ensure electricity supply even during outages.

FreeiD Integration at the Residence

Within this intelligent living environment, DXYZ has installed the FreeiD face recognition platform at six strategic points. These include two entrances, package delivery boxes, waste disposal areas, bicycle parking entrances, and a party room. Residents will benefit from a seamless experience where they can reserve facilities through FreeiD and access them via face recognition, allowing for hands-free entry and heightened security.

This innovative approach not only enhances convenience but also meets the growing security needs of residents amidst evolving consumer expectations.

What is FreeiD?

FreeiD is designed to integrate all forms of identification into a single facial recognition system, ensuring users can enter, exit, verify identity, and make payments using just their facial data. This platform offers a unique solution tailored to the multifaceted demands of modern living, empowering residents to transition effortlessly between different aspects of their daily lives.

DXYZ's FreeiD Mansion solution epitomizes the concept of living 'with just your face', eliminating the need for keys across shared and private spaces, heralding a new era of fully biometric apartment complexes in Japan. As of April 2025, over 208 buildings have successfully integrated FreeiD technology.

In addition to residential applications, DXYZ is expanding FreeiD's capabilities into offices, daycare centers, golf courses, and theme parks, underscoring the versatility of the technology, which also includes pioneering efforts in biometric payment systems and integration with My Number Card services.

The Future of Urban Living

As Migaro Holdings and DXYZ continue to lead the charge in smart city solutions, the integration of real and digital realms will foster the creation of diverse service offerings that elevate the quality of urban living. The Leaf City Ichikawa Residence represents just one facet of this innovative vision, setting the stage for a future where technology fundamentally transforms our everyday interactions and experiences in residential settings.
