Vortex's Ambitious Entry into the Urban Profit Apartment Market

Vortex, a company focused on asset formation consulting through the "Divided Ownership Office®" model, has officially made its debut into the urban profit apartment market in the greater Tokyo area. The company, led by CEO Fumihiko Miyazawa, has acquired shares from Kinoshita Real Estate, a well-known developer based in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Following the acquisition, Kinoshita Real Estate will operate under the new name, "Duke Design, Inc."

Background of the Acquisition

For years, Vortex has dedicated itself to providing real estate solutions that emphasize asset value, primarily through its "Divided Ownership Office" business, its real estate share product "V Share®", and the luxury villa series "Seren Collective®". The firm has been continuously strengthening its lineup to cater to the asset formation and inheritance needs of affluent clients.

Vortex operates under the philosophy of Asset Transformation (AX), which sees assets not merely as possession but as evolving entities that adapt to changes in social and economic environments. Through innovative value creation, Vortex aims to redefine and optimize asset values to benefit its clientele.

In recent years, demand for investment in income-producing properties in urban centers has surged, driven by inflationary pressures and the desire for asset diversification. Thus, ensuring a stable supply of income properties in the Tokyo metropolitan area has become a critical strategy for Vortex. By integrating Duke Design into its group, Vortex enhances its capabilities in location selection, product planning, and long-term asset value design.

New Opportunities Ahead

This strategic acquisition aims not only to create new customer segments but also to broaden Vortex's business portfolio. The company aspires to achieve significant value transformations across various real estate assets, thereby providing clients with advanced and sustainable asset formation solutions.

Duke Design has remarkable credentials, boasting over 30 years of experience as an urban income-producing apartment developer in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Their flagship apartment brand, the "Plair Duke" series, symbolizes a lifestyle that is comfortable, free, and expressive of individuality, strategically located near urban train stations.

The Significance of the New Name: Duke Design

The new name, "Duke Design," illustrates the company's commitment to balancing living environments with asset value. It embodies quality and reliability in the planning and development of urban income-producing apartments, closely aligning with clients' asset formation and future planning. This new identity retains the brand name "Deuxq" (Duke) while emphasizing luxury and dependability in service delivery. Furthermore, the term "Design" reflects the company's engagement in urban planning as well as its focus on life design that complements customers' asset formation journeys.

Future Directions

With this acquisition, Vortex aims to deepen its real estate value creation business and strengthen its portfolio, working relentlessly to enhance customer and corporate value sustainably.
