Dream Planning Expands Business and Strengthens Branch Network Amid Rising Empty House Inquiries

Dream Planning Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; Representative Director: Tatsuhito Takahashi; hereafter "DP") is rapidly expanding its business by leveraging unique real estate revitalization expertise to address the growing nationwide problem of "unsellable" empty houses.

Following the opening of Tokyo and Saitama branches in 2025, the company has decided to open a Chiba branch in 2026.

Simultaneously, the company has relocated and expanded its headquarters office to strengthen its service structure.

With the number of empty houses in Japan reaching approximately 9 million, a significant portion consists of "negative real estate" (fudosan), such as land in development control areas, properties where reconstruction is prohibited, or cliffside land.

While major real estate companies prioritize high-value properties for efficiency, these difficult properties are left behind, becoming a serious burden for their owners.

■ Why only Dream Planning can solve this?

Since its founding in 2002, the company has specialized for over 20 years in acquiring and revitalizing "niche properties that others refuse."

- Overwhelming professional knowledge: Unique expertise in rights adjustment, resolving legally complex rights (land ownership/leasehold) and physically difficult topography (cliff land, no-rebuild sites).

- Owned media: "URUHOME" and "Fudosan Kaitori Center." Most of the over 300 annual consultations are received through these proprietary media channels (https://uruhome.net/) (https://dream-plan.com/fudosan/).

Disseminating information to bridge the gap in property knowledge acts as a bridge to struggling owners nationwide.

2025 Performance: Achieved over 87 completed transactions, with consultations exceeding 150. The company regularly receives thank-you letters from owners for preventing them from leaving "negative assets" to their children.

■ Message from the Representative: Solving society's "problems," not just chasing short-term profit

"While the real estate industry is digitizing, there is a tendency to discard difficult-to-solve properties. We breathe new life into real estate that everyone has given up on, pursuing the happiness of people. Together with colleagues who share the ambition of being the 'world's best problem-solving company,' we want to fundamentally change Japan's empty house problem." (Tatsuhito Takahashi, Representative Director)
