Zero Renovation's Expansion in Kansai
In a significant move for the company,
Zero Renovation, operated by
groove agent Co., Ltd., has officially opened its first physical store in
Osaka's Umeda district on
July 1, 2025. This marks an important milestone for the company as it branches out into the Kansai region, responding to the growing demand for renovation services in the area.
Innovating Amidst Rising Property Prices
Recently,
Osaka has surpassed
Tokyo to claim the
third highest property price increase in the world by April 2025. The city has experienced substantial growth in new construction costs, land acquisition prices, and a shortage of available sites, resulting in staggering double-digit price increases for new apartments compared to the previous year. While the prices for newly built units are climbing, the market for
used apartments has shown a contrasting trend, with a
58.8% increase in sales compared to last year, indicating a renewed interest in the
middle-priced housing sector.
As many buyers shy away from new builds due to escalating costs,
used apartments are becoming a more feasible option. Zero Renovation aims to seize this opportunity by examining used properties with its unique building analysis and offering exceptional design and construction services primarily in the
Tokyo metropolitan area.
Expanding Services Across Western Japan
Looking ahead, Zero Renovation plans to broaden its service areas to include
Kyoto, Kobe, and Nagoya starting from
July 2024. Previously focused on online services, the establishment of a physical office in
Osaka emphasizes their commitment to engaging more closely with the community. This approach will enable them to provide a welcoming environment for consultations, further enhancing customer trust and satisfaction.
Individualized Offers for Buyers
In line with its expansion, Zero Renovation will offer tailored services for individual clients in the
Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nagoya regions. The offerings will include two main options:
property purchase with renovation and
property purchase only. Additionally, options for corporate renovations and other services will be incrementally introduced in the future.
Office Overview in Osaka
The new office is situated in a shared space called
Common Room, only a three-minute walk from the bustling
Osaka Umeda Station. Its central location makes it convenient for clients coming from various parts of the region. The office is designed to facilitate private consultations in comfortable booths, ensuring a secure and pleasant experience for clients discussing their renovation needs.
