LIFULL Investment and OS Corporation Join Forces in Real Estate Crowdfunding
In an impressive move towards regional revitalization, LIFULL Investment, a subsidiary of the LIFULL Group, has recently entered into a strategic partnership with OS Corporation, a member of the Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group. The agreement, signed on June 2, 2025, aims to pave the way for innovative real estate crowdfunding initiatives designed to address social challenges and promote local development.
Overview of the Partnership
LIFULL Investment is based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and is dedicated to solving societal issues through its business ventures. In collaboration with OS Corporation, headquartered in Osaka and led by President Nobuo Kanaya, this partnership signifies a shared commitment to fostering projects that enhance community vitality and economic growth. As part of this collaboration, OS will launch real estate funds designed to create spaces that connect people and communities, which will be introduced on the LIFULL Real Estate Crowdfunding platform.
The Mechanism of the Partnership
The two companies will work hand-in-hand to market and facilitate the募集 of real estate funds established by OS through the LIFULL crowdfunding platform. As of June 2025, LIFULL Investment has already successfully facilitated the募集 of three real estate funds, proving its capability in the crowdfunding space and setting a promising foundation for this collaboration.
OS Corporation is not only focused on real estate leasing and management but also operates in various sectors, including entertainment services, which encompasses film, restaurants, and wellness facilities. The company's recent efforts in area management and regional solutions have accelerated its impact in community-building efforts. With approvals for its first and second real estate joint business ventures expected by December 2024, OS Corporation is looking to expand its investment strategies in real estate funds actively.
Objectives of the Partnership
The primary goal of this collaboration is to merge OS’s innovative fund creation strategies with LIFULL Investment’s extensive know-how in facilitating fund募集. This will deliver never-before-seen investment opportunities to investors while supporting decentralized investment methods through a streamlined investment platform. Enhanced exposure to innovative themes in real estate crowdfunding will be a key benefit for investors seeking diverse opportunities in their portfolios.
