GOOD PLACE to Host a Seminar Focused on Building Renovation and Subsidy Utilization

On October 30, 2025, GOOD PLACE, a renowned architectural firm dedicated to creating better spaces through building renovations, office construction, and outsourcing back-office operations, will be hosting a seminar titled 'Building Renovation × Subsidy Utilization' at their headquarters office in Ebisu, Tokyo.
