Addressing the Vacant House Issue

In an important step toward tackling the ongoing problem of vacant properties, Nexwill Inc., a Tokyo-based company specializing in the purchase of distressed real estate, has formalized a partnership agreement with Nasu-Shiobara City in Tochigi Prefecture. The agreement, aimed at improving the management and utilization of vacant homes, was signed to enhance the living environment and ensure a safer, more secure community for residents.

The Partnership Agreement

Set to take effect with a signing ceremony on January 15, 2026, at Nasu-Shiobara City Hall, the collaboration between Nexwill and the municipal government centers on the effective management of vacant homes. With Mayor Michitaro Watanabe representing the city and CEO Tomoyuki Maruoka leading Nexwill, this partnership reflects a commitment to revitalizing the community.

The focus of the initiative is twofold: firstly, to responsibly manage the existing vacant properties and secondly, to work toward their effective use. The overarching goal is to create a pleasant living environment and build a society where residents can live without anxiety.

Significance of the Agreement

Vacant homes often undergo neglect, leading to various social issues, including declining neighborhood safety and property values. By teaming up with local authorities, Nexwill seeks to address these challenges head-on, employing strategies that involve other community stakeholders.

According to CEO Maruoka, “This partnership is a crucial step in our plan to eliminate the stigma surrounding vacant and distressed properties. We believe that by collaborating closely with city officials, we can promote a safe and vibrant community.”

Nexwill's Focus on 'Problematic' Real Estate

Nexwill has carved a niche in the real estate market by specializing in the acquisition of properties deemed challenging to sell. Unlike typical real estate, these so-called 'problematic' estates include factors like multiple ownership due to succession, properties that don’t meet construction codes, or those that have unclear ownership due to lack of proper registration.

The company’s unique approach involves purchasing such properties, streamlining their rights issues, and preparing them for resale, ensuring that they can be brought back into active use. Their flagship program, “Wakegai,” focuses specifically on these properties, making them more accessible and market-ready.

Community Initiatives and Collaborative Efforts

In addition to this partnership, Nexwill actively collaborates with various municipalities and even sports teams to create public-private synergies in addressing vacant housing concerns. By aligning with local governments and engaging sports teams in these initiatives, they aim to drive strategies that not only resolve housing issues but also invigorate local economies. This multidimensional approach is poised to make a significant impact on community revitalization efforts.
