Nexwill and Kisarazu City Partner to Address Vacant Housing Issues

Addressing the Vacant House Problem: A New Partnership

In a significant move towards tackling the vacant housing issue, Nexwill Co., Ltd., a real estate firm based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced a cooperative agreement with Kisarazu City, located in Chiba Prefecture. This partnership aims to promote effective management and utilization of vacant properties in Kisarazu City. The agreement will be formalized during a signing ceremony at Kisarazu City Hall on April 28, 2026.

The Agreement Overview

The newly established agreement between Kisarazu City and Nexwill seeks to collaboratively enhance the management of vacant houses within the area, thereby preserving a livable environment and ensuring a safe and secure community. Kisarazu City is facing a vacant house rate of 13.9%, which exceeds the national average. The increase in properties classified as “other residential”—those not intended for rental or resale—especially highlights the growing challenge of inherited properties that lack clear pathways for utilization.

Recognizing vacant houses as community resources, this initiative will not only focus on demolishing or managing these properties but will also emphasize their productive use. The collaboration seeks to address the complex nature of vacant properties that often face barriers in the real estate market.

About Nexwill Co., Ltd.

Nexwill specializes in the purchase of challenging real estate properties, particularly vacant houses and complicated properties that are difficult to sell due to various complications such as shared ownership or non-compliance with building regulations. The company efficiently addresses these issues through its unique “Wakegai” program, which involves organizing property rights and rendering these properties ready for resale.

Contrary to common perceptions that problematic properties are solely linked to incidents (also known colloquially as “accident properties”), there are numerous other reasons, such as shared ownership resulting from inheritance or properties that do not meet current building criteria. Nexwill takes on these challenges to rehabilitate such properties and return them to the market.

Furthermore, in light of Japan’s escalating vacant house crisis, Nexwill is active in public-private partnerships, collaborating with local governments and sports teams. The company has established various cooperative agreements with municipalities and supports initiatives to resolve vacant housing challenges while simultaneously driving community revitalization through its collaborations with sports organizations.
