Roadstar Capital Promotes Real Estate Equity Investment
Roadstar Capital, headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, is on a mission to integrate real estate and technology to create a new market future. It has recently announced the launch of its third equity-type investment opportunity through OwnersBook, a real estate crowdfunding service managed by the company. A securities registration statement for this investment has been submitted, marking an exciting new phase in the firm's offerings.
The initial application period begins on November 6, 2025, with the official application opening following the effectiveness of the securities registration on November 17, 2025.
Features of OwnersBook's Equity-Type Investments
The equity-type products offered by OwnersBook allow individual investors to purchase shares of real estate trust beneficiary rights online, utilizing crowdfunding methods. The special purpose company (SPC) established for each investment will acquire the real estate trust beneficiary rights. Subsequently, rental income generated from the property, along with any profits or losses from the sale of the asset, will serve as the basis for dividends to investors.
Both loan-type and equity-type investments are subject to strict regulations under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, particularly the larger equity-type projects that require a securities registration statement.

Background and Growth of Crowdfunding in Real Estate
Japan's real estate investment landscape has traditionally kept professional and individual investors in separate spheres. However, Roadstar Capital initiated Japan's first real estate-focused crowdfunding service, OwnersBook, in 2014. This innovation enables individual investors to enter the market with minimal investment amounts.
With advancements in information and communication technology, the direct connection between individuals and businesses has become more feasible. Coupled with government policies aimed at financial asset growth and changes in consumer behaviors, the real estate crowdfunding sector is on a growth trajectory, projected to reach approximately 170 billion yen by the fiscal year 2024.
Roadstar Capital's Vision
As interest in diversified investments grows due to rising interest rates, inflation, and yen depreciation, OwnersBook emphasizes transparency and reliability within its operation. The company aims to bridge individual investors and the real estate investment market by continuously developing systems and maintaining open communication with stakeholders. The latest investment opportunity exemplifies the special expertise and negotiation capabilities that the Roadstar group boasts, marking yet another challenge in their innovative journey.
Conclusion
Roadstar Capital is dedicated to becoming a leading player in the real estate crowdfunding industry by merging real estate and technology. Through ongoing improvements to systems and services, the company endeavors to contribute to the healthy development of the real estate investment market while expanding opportunities for investors.
