Investing in Cultural Heritage: LEVECHY Fund 19 Launches in Hakodate

Introduction
The LEVECHY Corporation, based in Akasaka, Tokyo, has made a significant stride in promoting community revitalization by launching its new investment fund—LEVECHY Fund No. 19 Phase II. This undertaking involves funding dedicated to the prestigious Soma Family Residence, a site recognized as an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese government. The fund aims to leverage real estate crowdfunding to facilitate sustainable investment while preserving historical landmarks.

Funding Details

Recently, LEVECHY has announced that it successfully secured funding from the Donan Umimachi Shinkin Bank, located in Hakodate, Hokkaido. This collaboration represents a strategic effort to strengthen ties with local financial institutions, enabling more efficient fundraising for culturally significant projects. The Lincoln of the funds will be through a Special Purpose Company (SPC) established for this purpose. This approach ensures that the investment is managed in a dedicated manner, which will ultimately aid in the preservation and operational success of the Soma Family Residence.

Fund Overview: LEVECHY Fund No. 19 Phase II

The LEVECHY Fund No. 19 Phase II focuses directly on the historic Soma Family Residence, located in the picturesque Motomachi area of Hakodate. This project is an extension of the overarching goal to support local revitalization efforts through investments in culturally rich real estate. By incorporating this important cultural property into the SPC framework, LEVECHY aims to manage and maintain the residence utilizing a real estate crowdfunding model.

Scheduled to open on March 1, 2026, the Soma Family Residence will be transformed into a hotel named "Kazeno Heritage," where guests can experience the charm of staying in a nationally designated cultural property. The operational management of the hotel will be entrusted to Kaze no Heritage Co., a subsidiary of the Value Management Group, known for its expertise in preserving and revitalizing historical constructions.

The fund is particularly attractive to investors due to its stable income-generating potential. LEVECHY has signed contracts ensuring fixed monthly rent backed by robust operational performance, significantly mitigating market volatility risks. Moreover, revenue streams from related services, including coin parking and vending machines, provide additional financial security.

Future Outlook

The project is designed for medium to long-term management, aspiring to evolve into a well-loved fund by the local community. Launched in 2025, the fund is entering its second operational year, with the aim of refining and optimizing opportunities for investors. The expected yield target is set at 4.0% per annum before tax, supported by revenue generated from stable rental agreements.

Funding will be open for applications from March 6, 2026, to March 26, 2026, with a target fundraising amount of 114,450,000 yen and overall applications reaching 147,790,000 yen. Funds will be deployed starting April 28, 2026, with a planned distribution rate of 4% for the annual term, further solidifying the project’s investment appeal.
