FAITHNETWORK, Creating Sophisticated Urban Spaces, Acquires Custom Kitchen Manufacturer "Madre" as a Subsidiary to Bring New Value and Color to Residences with Original Kitchens

FAITHNETWORK Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Jiro Hachiya, hereinafter "the Company") announces that it has acquired shares of Madre Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Hitomi Yamane, hereinafter "Madre"), making it a subsidiary and welcoming it into the Company's group as of today. **◆Background of the Grouping** The Company has been striving to create spaces that offer diverse experiential value, aiming to improve property value and realize a "Well-Being life" in both its luxury rental residence series "THE GRANDUO" and new built single-building RC mansion series "GranDuo," satisfying residents' desire to "live there" and owners' desire to "keep owning." Since its establishment in 2007, "Madre" has carefully engaged with customers' lifestyles to design and produce ideal kitchens, gaining high support primarily from women. The housing philosophy that "Madre" has adhered to is to design everything from material selection to storage planning, lighting, and the connection with space, providing kitchens that combine design and functionality that ready-made products cannot match. At this time, we have decided to welcome "Madre" into our group with the aim of elevating the grade of the kitchen—one of the most important elements of a home's value—to further improve the experiential value and provide even more satisfying apartments. Starting with "THE GRANDUO FUKASAWA," scheduled for completion at the end of June 2027, Madre's original kitchens and washstands, which are built for long-term use and durability, will be adopted in FAITHNETWORK's luxury rental residence series "THE GRANDUO," and will be sequentially introduced into the "GranDuo" series as well. Aiming to provide a "rich experience" that enhances the quality of life, rather than just a mere "residence," FAITHNETWORK will collaborate with "Madre" from the design and planning stages to add new value and color to everyday living. **Hitomi Yamane, CEO of Madre Co., Ltd.** Established Madre, a custom-made kitchen specialty company, in 2007. Under the philosophy that "the center of living is in the kitchen," she has consistently engaged in creating fully custom-made kitchens without relying on ready-made products. With her strength in design capabilities that align with the user's lifestyle, flow, and aesthetic sense, she has a rich track record of introducing products to residences for the wealthy and luxury rental apartments. Renowned for proposals that elevate the value of the entire living space starting from the kitchen, she continues to create homes that transcend the boundaries of architecture and interior design. **** "When thinking about 'dwelling,' we believe the kitchen is essential to daily life itself and becomes the center of a lifestyle. Until now, we have stayed close to housing professionals such as architects and interior designers, as well as cooking professionals like chefs and culinary researchers, diligently delivering many custom kitchens, washstands, and custom furniture. By joining the FAITHNETWORK Group, we will be involved in the 'dwelling' process comprehensively from the planning stage, consistently handling kitchen design, planning, production, delivery, and installation. We want to realize rich living starting from the kitchen and deliver high value-added, highly tasteful living spaces to even more people." **Jiro Hachiya, CEO of FAITHNETWORK Co., Ltd.** Joined a financial institution in 1988, handling over 5,000 cases as a loan officer for 12 years. Driven by a desire to provide services needed by customers, he established FAITHNETWORK in 2001 to develop investment real estate. Focused on developing properties that people "want to live in" and "want to keep owning" from a "protector of owners" perspective, he established a business model centered on "Jonan 3 Wards," "New Built Single-Building RC Mansions," and "One-Stop Services." Listed on TSE Mothers in 2018, moved to the First Section, and transitioned to the TSE Standard Market in October 2023. Constantly working to support the realization of customers' life plans with a customer-first approach. **** "Up until now, in addition to location and architectural design, we have focused on spaces that enhance the quality of living. The kitchen creation by 'Madre', led by Ms. Yamane, embodies a philosophy deeply aligned with the lives of the residents. Through this grouping, we believe the living spaces of 'GranDuo' and 'THE GRANDUO' will achieve an even higher degree of perfection and evolve into apartments that resonate with the senses." **◆Company Overview of FAITHNETWORK Co., Ltd.** https://faithnetwork.co.jp Develops a real estate investment support business mainly through new built single-building RC mansions, focusing on the Tokyo Jonan 3 Wards area (Setagaya, Meguro, and Shibuya Wards), which are popular as towns to live in.
