Shimada Asset Partners Nominated for Real Estate Crowdfunding of the Year 2025

Shimada Asset Partners, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently received exciting news regarding their innovative product, Just Fit Ginza. The company has been nominated for the Real Estate Crowdfunding of the Year 2025 award, organized by the Japan Real Estate Crowdfunding Association. This recognition underscores their commitment to excellence in real estate investment.

What is the Real Estate Crowdfunding of the Year 2025?

The Real Estate Crowdfunding of the Year 2025 award is presented by the Japan Real Estate Crowdfunding Association. It aims to recognize outstanding funds that have completed repayments by 2025. Key evaluation criteria include uniqueness, transparency, fundraising capabilities, and operational efficiency. The award will recognize one grand prize winner and several runners-up based on user reviews. The results are set to be announced in March.

About the Nominated Product: Just Fit Ginza

Just Fit Ginza features a high-floor unit in the only tower condominium in Ginza, known as Ginza Tower. Its rarity, combined with a sub-lease agreement and a 30% subordinate investment ratio, offers stability that has attracted significant interest. The product achieved full subscription within just one week and garnered inquiries for waitlisting, ultimately receiving approximately 109% of its fundraising target. Successful operations have concluded with investors receiving the promised dividends and principal refunds.

Celebrating 5 Years of Success

This year also marks the 5th anniversary of the Just Fit initiative. Over these years, all ten of the funds have been fully subscribed, accumulating a total operational value exceeding 2.5 billion yen. Notably, all three funds—including Ginza Tower—completed their refunds without any losses to principal amounts. Looking ahead, Shimada Asset Partners aims to further enhance their offerings and is on track to build larger projects while targeting 10,000 new investors.

Features of Just Fit Real Estate Investment

The Just Fit product line offers two types of investments: the voluntary association type for long-term holdings and the anonymous association type for short-term investments. This structure makes property investment accessible from small amounts, facilitating balanced portfolio development for investors. The group manages a wide range of real estate endeavors, from development and regeneration to hotel operations and elder care facilities, ensuring stable management over the long term.
