Exploring the Future of Condominiums

Daiwa Life Next Inc., a part of the Daiwa House Group, is set to host a significant symposium titled 'How Will Condominiums Change? - Insights into the Future Based on Tokyo's Latest Strategies' on March 5, 2026. This event is organized by the Mansion Future Value Research Institute, which focuses on comprehensive studies related to condominiums, in collaboration with various experts in the field.

Background

As of the end of 2024, Tokyo is projected to have approximately 2.03 million condominiums, serving as vital living spaces for many residents. However, there are pressing concerns affecting these properties, such as insufficient repair reserves, aging buildings, and an increasing elderly population among residents. Additionally, many condominiums have not updated their long-term repair plans or conducted seismic assessments, raising worries about their future management and sustainability.

The upcoming symposium will address the condominium management status reporting system implemented by Tokyo and the future policies outlined in the Tokyo Housing Master Plan. Featured speakers include Daisuke Yamaguchi, head of the Condominium Division at the Tokyo Metropolitan Housing Policy Bureau, and Kiri Kagawa, a prominent attorney at Kagawa General Law Office. They will share insights on the latest trends and practical issues surrounding condominiums from both administrative and legal perspectives.

Moreover, under the guidance of Yoshiko Kubo, the head of the Mansion Future Value Research Institute, there will be a panel discussion diving into the growing challenges in the field and the evolving requirements for condominium management.
