OwnersBook Achieves Milestone in Real Estate Crowdfunding

In a remarkable development for the real estate crowdfunding sector, OwnersBook, operated by Roadstar Investments, a subsidiary of Roadstar Capital, has exceeded a total of 3 billion yen in dividends paid to its investors. This milestone marks a significant advancement in the integration of real estate and technology, which Roadstar Capital identifies as pivotal in transforming future markets.

Growth in Dividends

OwnersBook has consistently distributed dividends on a quarterly basis since its inception in January 2015. The platform has seen a steady increase in both the number of investment projects and the total amount of dividends, reaching 1 billion yen in October 2021 and 2 billion yen in April 2024. Now, in an impressive timeframe of just 24 months, the platform has added another 1 billion yen to the total, which is the fastest rate in its history.

Analysis of Investor Behavior

Recent data spanning nearly a year reveals that approximately 67% of investors reinvested into subsequent projects within 30 days of receiving dividends. This statistic highlights a proactive approach among users, who efficiently transition their returns into further investments without holding excess cash.

Noteworthy Project

One of the standout contributions to this dividend growth is attributed to the equity deal regarding the Akihabara office building. In March 2022, profits from the sale of this property were partially distributed to investors, leading to a substantial increase in total dividends. This project returned 2.06 times the initial investment, showcasing the potential benefits of equity-type investments on the platform.

Akihabara Office Building Project Details

• - Project Name: Akihabara Office Building
• - Investment Date: August 24, 2018
• - Total Investment Amount: 261.4 million yen
• - Total Dividends Paid: 276.45 million yen
• - Confirmed Yield (Annualized, Internal Rate of Return): 22.8%

Repeater Investors

The repeat investment statistic is impressive, with 75% of investors returning to engage with multiple projects. Particularly between April 1, 2025, and April 20, 2026, an analysis indicated that about 67% of those receiving dividends invested in new projects promptly. This trend underscores the willingness of individual investors to dynamically manage their investments and pursue growth without unnecessary delays.

What is OwnersBook?

OwnersBook represents Japan’s first real estate crowdfunding service specifically designed to facilitate participation in investment opportunities for both private individuals and professionals, initiated by Roadstar Group in September 2014. Striving to ensure compliance with financial regulations, OwnersBook operates under strict internal controls, balancing risk and return while providing transparent services. As of the end of April 2026, OwnersBook's achievements include:

• - Total Projects: 423 completed investment projects
• - Total Investment Amount: Over 78.2 billion yen

Two Types of Investment Products

1. Loan-type Products
These products account for the majority of OwnersBook offerings. Investors can start with as little as 10,000 yen, funding loans to corporations in need. Interest payments from borrowers serve as the foundation for investor dividends, with a focus on risk mitigation through real estate collateral and thorough evaluations. Average yield rates range between 4% and 6%.

2. Equity-type Products
These investments involve purchasing equity rights in properties, where profits from operational revenues and sale proceeds are distributed to investors. The first case returned an annualized yield of 22.8%.

Future Plans

Looking forward, the Roadstar Group plans to leverage its expertise gained from operating OwnersBook to introduce new security token offerings by this summer. The goal is to cater to diverse asset formation needs through a broader range of project offerings while continuing to expand its market presence and contribute to investor growth.
