Partnership Aims to Tackle Vacant Housing Issue Through Women's Soccer

Addressing Vacant Housing in Okinawa Through Sports



The ongoing challenges of vacant housing in Okinawa have been exacerbated by the dual issues of population decline and aging demographics. It is within this context that Nexwill, a Tokyo-based firm specializing in unique real estate acquisitions, has forged a partnership with the women’s soccer club, Ryukyu DEIGOS, headquartered in Urasoe City, Okinawa. The contract aims to leverage the energy and reach of sports to foster community engagement around the pressing issue of vacant properties in the region.

Background on the Collaboration



Okinawa faces unique challenges regarding vacant housing, including the deterioration of properties due to typhoons and salt damage, as well as the neglect in managing homes, particularly on remote islands and suburban areas. Despite these difficulties, there is an increasing interest in tourism and residency in the region. Ensuring an appropriate flow and revitalization of vacant homes could be the key to invigorating local communities.

Through this newly established partnership, Nexwill and Ryukyu DEIGOS will engage community members, aiming to raise awareness among homeowners and residents about the vacant housing issue via various outreach initiatives. By utilizing the visibility of soccer matches and the team’s communication channels, they hope to foster interest in solutions for these pressing property challenges. The strategy lies in the unique charm of sports, bridging gaps and encouraging dialogue within the community.

About Nexwill



Nexwill operates as a one-stop solution for challenged real estate transactions, particularly focusing on acquiring vacant and troubled properties. These properties often face obstacles in sale due to complicated ownership issues, such as shared ownership through inheritance, properties that do not meet construction standards, or those whose ownership has become unclear due to lack of proper documentation.

The company's initiative, `Wakegai`, aims to purchase these properties, address their complex legal issues, and prepare them for resale to rejuvenate the market. By focusing on vacant housing solutions, Nexwill actively partners with municipal authorities and sports teams to create collaborative frameworks to tackle these challenges.

Currently, they maintain partnerships with several local governments and sport clubs, emphasizing a tri-party collaboration between local administrations, sports teams, and Nexwill to effectively address housing problems and revitalize communities. For more details, visit Nexwill.
