New Proposal for the Struggling Rental Apartment Market: The 'Green Fold' Wooden Rental Series, with a Concept of Coexisting with Plants, Launches

AMAL FLAG Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Junya Sumiyoshi) has launched 'Green Fold,' an urban wooden rental housing brand featuring an inner terrace as a standard specification, and opened its official brand website (https://amalflag.com/buy/woodcrest/green-fold).

■Why Green Fold Was Created

In recent years, the urban rental apartment market has seen a standardization of equipment and specifications, making it difficult to differentiate from surrounding properties. Many owners face vacancy risks and rent competition without a compelling reason to be chosen.

On the other hand, among tenants, especially the younger generation, there is a growing need for a lifestyle incorporating interior greenery. However, most rental apartments have structures that cannot realize such a lifestyle due to constraints like sunlight and space.

AMAL FLAG developed and launched the 'Green Fold' series as a brand that simultaneously solves these two challenges. In March 2026, the first building of the series, 'WoodCrest Higashi-Koenji Residence' (Nakano-ku, Tokyo), was completed.

■Overview of the First Building

[Name] WoodCrest Higashi-Koenji Residence

[Location] 6-39-4 Honcho, Nakano-ku, Tokyo

[Scale] 3 stories, 6 units

[Site Area] 148.21 square meters

[Total Floor Area] 223.82 square meters

[Floor Plans] 1LDK, 2DK, 2LDK

■Newly Defined Inner Terrace as Standard

At the heart of 'Green Fold' is a new concept for the inner terrace. While common inner terraces are sunroom-type, partitioned by walls or fittings, 'Green Fold' defines the terrace by changing the flooring material without installing walls. This creates a living environment where residents can interact with plants within their daily flow, while maintaining the spaciousness and openness of the living area.

Furthermore, large-opening glass doors that maximize southern sunlight and multiple hanging spots are standard equipment, realizing a living environment where residents can fully enjoy interior greenery.

■Launched as a New Series of the Wooden Rental Brand 'WoodCrest'

'Green Fold' is launched as a new series of 'WoodCrest' (https://amalflag.com/buy/woodcrest), the wooden rental housing brand developed by AMAL FLAG. 'WoodCrest' is a rental housing brand that leverages wooden construction technology to achieve both high design and livability, primarily in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

All units come standard with condominium-level specifications including a two-burner stove, auto bath with reheating function, floor heating, bathroom dryer, delivery box, and security cameras. This design enhances the quality of life for residents, leading to long-term tenancy and stable operation for owners. These specifications are all inherited by 'Green Fold'.

■Future Outlook

The company plans to complete up to the fourth building of the series within 2026, and will continue to expand primarily within Tokyo. Details of the 'Green Fold' concept and architectural examples are available on the official brand website.

Under the 'WoodCrest' brand, AMAL FLAG also plans to develop and launch new series that meet the lifestyles of residents and the investment needs of owners.
