Flexible Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazuya Inomata), which develops real estate sales and elderly support businesses, officially launched the "Mahoroba I" project, a rental housing for seniors planned in Fukuroyama, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, with a groundbreaking ceremony held on March 31, 2026.
This project is led by the representative, a real estate agent with 10 years of experience in the real estate industry, and his wife, a qualified nurse. It aims to solve the social issue of elderly individuals being denied rental housing due to their age, by providing solutions from both housing and living support perspectives.
We are working to create an environment where local seniors can continue to live independently, with completion targeted for autumn 2026.
## The Housing Problem for Healthy Seniors Faced in Real Estate Brokerage
Representative Inomata has witnessed numerous cases in real estate brokerage where physically and mentally healthy seniors, capable of independent living, were forced to enter elderly care facilities because they were denied rental housing due to their age or single status.
In facilities, daily life, including meals, bathing, and going out, is subject to certain restrictions, which can limit the freedom of life for those who have lived independently. Recognizing this reality, the need for "housing that balances freedom and security" became the starting point for this project.
## Three Functions Balancing Privacy and Security
- **[Hardware] Monitoring AI:** Wi-Fi sensing is introduced in the living spaces. It confirms safety 24 hours a day while protecting privacy without using cameras.
- **[Software] Monitoring Support:** Regular monthly visits of approximately one hour are conducted to clean water areas and assist with shopping, while also monitoring changes in daily life.
- **[Network] Regional Collaboration:** We are working to build a support system with community comprehensive support centers and welfare professionals.

## Comment from Kazuya Inomata, Representative Director of Flexible Co., Ltd.
"For about 10 years in the real estate industry, I have faced the housing challenges of seniors. While struggling with my first childcare with my wife, who is a nurse, I have realized the reassurance of being able to rely on someone.
We will create a place where seniors can live independently, valuing warm interactions that arise from our professional knowledge and activities with our daughter.
From the perspectives of both real estate and healthcare, we will faithfully fulfill our role as a regional infrastructure."
