Profits and Alpha Edge Capital Enter Strategic Partnership

In a significant industry move, Profits Inc. and Alpha Edge Capital Inc. have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing their capabilities in the real estate sector. Based in Tokyo’s Chiyoda district, Profits is led by CEO Shinichiro Tanaka, while Alpha Edge is co-directed by Masaki Chiba and Tomofumi Segawa. Together, they have finalized a comprehensive outsourcing agreement for real estate activities, set to take effect by March 2025. This collaboration is crafted to innovate and expand investment opportunities tailored to a diverse range of investor needs, reinforcing a 'strategic property acquisition framework' that spans sourcing, acquisitions, business development, and fund formation support.

Background of the Partnership

This partnership is designed to accelerate 'specialized acquisition' initiatives, focusing on unique investment strategies in specific real estate sectors. Profits has developed a distinct array of investment projects, including the BLOCKS OFFICE shared workspace, FLUFFY, a pet-friendly rental apartment, and their upcoming original hotel brand. These initiatives feature value-added strategies and a social perspective in their investment philosophy.

On the other hand, Alpha Edge, founded by former Goldman Sachs employees, boasts extensive industry networks and a powerful advisory capacity. The synergy of these two organizations opens new avenues to client segments previously hard to reach and enables a streamlined process from project ideation to fund creation and investor engagement.

Unique Investment Strategies

Profits’ investment initiatives are characterized by a keen focus on quality and innovation. Through the partnership, they aim to procure properties that align with their strategic objectives. They are currently evaluating potential acquisitions that include vacant buildings primarily within Tokyo, older properties suitable for conversion, as well as hotels and residential properties in regional towns. With a target acquisition scale of around 3 to 5 billion yen, the company is prepared to be flexible and is encouraging rapid closing on value-added projects.

Future Developments

Following this partnership, Profits is gearing up to initiate property acquisitions, with plans to close deals amounting to over 10 billion yen before the end of the year. They are focusing not only on properties within Tokyo but also maintaining an open dialogue with brokers and sellers to strengthen their acquisition efforts. The partnership emphasizes quick closing times and prioritizes projects that promise tangible value enhancements.

Executive Comments

Shinichiro Tanaka, CEO of Profits, remarked: "Through our collaboration with Alpha Edge, we aim to implement practical and high-quality acquisitions that meet the needs of previously untapped customer segments. We are committed to achieving substantial results through diligent efforts rather than just idealistic visions."

Masaki Chiba and Tomofumi Segawa, both co-CEOs of Alpha Edge, added: "We resonate with Profits’ clear investment philosophy and operational strength. As committed players in this field, we look to explore market anomalies and deliver significant value together."
