Achieving Rapid Property Sales
In a remarkable feat of efficiency and expertise, Tamiya Home, based in Tokorozawa, Saitama, has reported the successful completion and rapid sale of a condominium in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. This project signifies a swift resolution, as the property was acquired in December 2025 and saw a sales contract concluded by the end of the same month.
Project Background: A Delicate Approach to Condominium Demolition
The Real Estate Solutions Department of Tamiya Home specializes in handling properties with complex rights issues and aging structures, particularly those that require advanced knowledge for optimal value enhancement. Traditionally, selling older properties involves significant renovation costs and lengthy selling periods. Tamiya Home leveraged its five years of demolition experience to accurately assess a property’s potential structurally, enabling rapid decision-making to accelerate real estate transactions that would otherwise stagnate. This Nishi-Shinjuku case stands out as a testament to the company's judgment and agility.
The targeted property, over 40 years old, posed unique challenges. The demolition of a condominium unit required utmost consideration for the residents living nearby, as it demanded more “naïve and delicate work” compared to single-family home demolition due to noise, vibration, and dust concerns. Tamiya Home’s rigorous adherence to pre-demolition notifications for neighboring residents and meticulous care during the demolition process shaped not only the property’s image but also its future renovations and the lives of new occupants.
Implementing a Win-Win-Win Strategy with a Skeleton Handover
Initially, the real estate solutions team planned to collaborate closely with the renovation department for a joint proposal aimed at enhancing the property’s value. However, as the team recognized a need from a real estate entity that desired a custom renovation from scratch due to the property's prime location, they swiftly adapted their strategies. The decision was made to offer the property in a “skeleton state” post-demolition, maximizing value for the buyer and ensuring that the property met current market demands.
This strategic pivot resulted in multiple benefits:
- - For the buyer: Acquiring a property in a rare location like Nishi-Shinjuku in a skeleton state saved the buyer the hassle of organizing their own demolition and significantly shortened the project timeline. The renovation department's clever assessments ensured that the buyer would receive a structurally sound base for immediately commencing custom renovation work.
- - For the local community: Tamiya Home’s commitment to expertly managing the demolition process minimized potential disruption and allowed for a swift transition to the next generation of residents, thus maintaining neighborhood security and an overall healthy environment.
- - For Tamiya Home: The company streamlined decision-making and operations, reducing lead times from decision to construction and closing. This allowed the company to minimize inventory risks while utilizing the insights gained from the renovation department to determine optimum exit strategies.

Tamiya Home's One-Stop Solution: Why This Was Possible
How could Tamiya Home close a transaction in just two weeks, a process that typically takes months? The unique advantage lies in being a comprehensive real estate construction company, handling everything from demolition to renovation and real estate sales.
- - Expertly Defined Asset Value: The collaboration during the evaluation phase allowed the team to determine how far demolition should go to maximize resale value. This shared knowledge expedited the transaction and built trust around demolition work.
