Face Recognition Technology Revolutionizes Apartment Living
In an exciting development for residential technology, Migalo Holdings, a leader in integrating digital and real-world experiences, has announced the implementation of their innovative face recognition ID platform, FreeiD, featured in Sunwood's groundbreaking property, Sunwood Terrace Fuchu Hachiman-cho. This marks a significant milestone as it represents the first apartment complex in Japan fully equipped with face recognition access across all units, setting a new standard in convenience and security for residents.
The Sunwood Terrace Fuchu Hachiman-cho is strategically located in Fuchu City, Tokyo, nestled amidst a green and welcoming living environment. This seven-story apartment building is designed to offer a fusion of tranquility and urban convenience, with easy access to public transportation and essential amenities. The integration of the FreeiD platform means that residents will enjoy seamless entry and enhanced security as they navigate their home with just their faces, eliminating the need for traditional keys, wallets, or access cards.
Migalo, through its subsidiary DXYZ, has meticulously deployed the FreeiD system at crucial access points: the entrance, mail and parcel boxes, bicycle parking, and the entrance of each residence. The platform not only grants residents easy access even when their hands are full, but it also significantly raises the security levels through the latest facial recognition technology, meeting the diverse needs of today’s consumers.
The FreeiD platform isn't just about accessibility; it connects living, working, and recreational experiences in a way that advances residents' quality of life. With a single facial registration, residents can utilize various services — from home entry to payments and identity verification — all through their facial recognition. This integration aims to provide an exceptional living experience while enhancing peace of mind for residents regarding their safety.
The face recognition ID system is optimized for various scenarios, ensuring that it can adapt and provide the most effective facial recognition AI based on usage. Designed specifically for apartment living, FreeiD represents Japan’s first completely keyless apartment residences. As of February 2026, over 344 buildings have already been completed with this cutting-edge technology, extending beyond just residential apartments to offices, nurseries, golf courses, and theme parks.
Moreover, the innovative face payment service, FreeiD Pay, is already progressing with real-world applications, allowing users to complete transactions with just their faces. Additionally, collaborations with civic services through My Number regulations are being tested, paving the way for more comprehensive digital services in everyday life.
Looking ahead, both DXYZ and Sunwood are committed to enriching homeowner comfort and enhancing property value. Together, they are poised to drive the continuous creation of new values, leveraging their vision of a sophisticated urban living experience.
