GLC GROUP Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director, President, Group CEO: Hayato Takamura; Securities Code: 2970; hereinafter 'GLC GROUP') has commenced tenant recruitment for its latest self-developed investment rental apartment, 'LIBTH,' in Kumamoto Prefecture's Kikuyo area, which is drawing attention due to the entry of the global semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC.
With the industrial concentration triggered by TSMC's entry, Kumamoto Prefecture's Kikuyo area has garnered nationwide attention. While some express cautious views regarding current market changes, a stable expansion of residential demand is expected in the medium to long term, backed by the continued entry of related companies, an increase in the working population, and the development of surrounding infrastructure. Recently, after a rapid supply of properties, residents are moving into a phase where they more strictly assess the 'quality of living.'
This latest property is being developed not merely as a new apartment supply, but as a residence that combines 'high living quality' and 'convenience of life' sought by corporate housing managers and transferees, anticipating such future demand. Leveraging GLC GROUP's unique 'Real Estate SPA Model,' the group provides end-to-end services, from the planning of its self-developed rental apartment 'LIBTH' to brokerage by its directly managed store 'LIBSTORE,' and post-occupancy support by GLC GROUP's rental management division. This establishes a system capable of flexibly and promptly responding to sudden corporate occupancy needs and bulk contracts. Furthermore, it offers high-spec living spaces that satisfy single households to families, meeting diversifying residential needs.
