The Future of Living: Inbalance and Mitsubishi Estate's New Smart Home Initiative
In recent news, Inbalance Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has formed a strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Co., another titan in the real estate sector, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Together, they aim to redefine urban living by integrating Mitsubishi's comprehensive smart home service,
HOMETACT, into Inbalance's investment-oriented apartment series,
CREVISTA and
LUXUDEAR. This collaboration will ensure that every unit within these two new development series is equipped with HOMETACT as a standard feature.
This partnership is set to revolutionize the way residents engage with their living spaces, providing them with enhanced convenience and security. Both companies aspire to enrich the living experience for residents by offering advanced capabilities in terms of communication and device management, ultimately contributing to a comfortable and efficient lifestyle.
The Rationale Behind HOMETACT Adoption
Inbalance places a high priority on ensuring that residents feel safe and secure in their homes. By enhancing the overall living environment, the company aims to sustain and potentially increase the long-term asset value of the properties owned by investors. The decision to adopt HOMETACT was due to its advanced smart home technology and its proven reliability and expandability—qualities that align perfectly with Inbalance's standards for excellence.
A New Era of Comfort with HOMETACT Integration
With HOMETACT now integrated into all units of the
CREVISTA and
LUXUDEAR series, residents will enjoy numerous state-of-the-art services designed to foster a seamless smart living experience:
Facial Recognition and Smart Intercom
The implementation of high-precision facial recognition technology provides a significant improvement in security, effectively eradicating the concerns associated with lost keys or unauthorized entry. Residents can now simply gaze at the system to unlock doors, allowing for swift and safe transitions from one area to another within the apartment complex. Furthermore, a dedicated app enables video calls and remote unlocking capabilities, ensuring complete control over visitor access.
Centralized Smart Home Device Management
Every unit will be equipped with IoT-enabled devices, including controlling lights and air conditioning through HOMETACT. The simplifying setup allows immediate use upon moving in, eliminating any preliminary hassle. Moreover, residents have the option to connect their existing devices—such as TVs, Wi-Fi speakers, and smart lights—to create customized environments tailored to their lifestyles. Utilizing features such as 'scenes' allows residents to enhance their living atmosphere simply through app navigation or voice commands.
Future Developments
Starting from October 2025, the
CREVISTA Manseicho project will introduce the new service, embarking on a journey to foster a cohesive smart living community. By collaborating closely with Mitsubishi Estate, Inbalance is committed to managing all stages from installation to ongoing support, ensuring both residents and property owners feel confident in their smart home experience.
Additionally, both companies are focused on revolutionizing the conventional understanding of a home by promoting smart living technologies, setting a new standard for residential infrastructure in the future.
Voices from Leadership
In a statement, Yamada, Executive Officer of Inbalance, expressed excitement about the partnership:
"We are thrilled about this collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate. We firmly believe that HOMETACT will enhance both the asset value for property owners and the day-to-day smart living experience for our residents. Our collaboration with industry leaders like Mitsubishi will surely contribute to the healthy evolution of the real estate market, creating the future standard we all aspire to achieve."
On the other side, Tachibana from Mitsubishi Estate emphasized the importance of this partnership:
"This collaboration came to fruition due to Inbalance's recognition of HOMETACT’s vision and effective service management. We intend to continue enhancing service quality and respond to Inbalance’s ambition of creating next-generation investment assets. Together, we look forward to maximizing asset value and enhancing resident experiences through smart home technology."
