GLC GROUP Responds to Qualitative Changes in Residential Needs in Kumamoto-Kikuyo Area: Strengthening Corporate Housing Solutions with Latest Self-Developed Rental Apartment 'LIBTH'

GLC GROUP Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director & Group CEO: Hayato Takamura; Securities Code: 2970; hereinafter "GLC GROUP") has commenced tenant recruitment for the latest property of its self-developed investment-grade, new single-building rental apartment series "LIBTH" in the Kumamoto-Kikuyo area, which is attracting attention due to the entry of global semiconductor manufacturer TSMC.

Fueled by industrial agglomeration triggered by TSMC's entry, the Kumamoto-Kikuyo area is garnering nationwide attention. While some express cautious views regarding current market changes, stable expansion of residential demand is anticipated in the mid- to long-term, backed by continued entry of related companies, increased employment, and development of surrounding infrastructure. Recently, after a rapid supply of properties, residents are transitioning to a phase where they are more rigorously scrutinizing the "quality of housing."

Anticipating such future demand, this latest property is not merely a supply of new apartments, but is developed as a residence that combines "high living quality" and "convenience for daily life" sought by corporate housing managers and transferees. Leveraging GLC Group's proprietary "Real Estate SPA Model," the group provides end-to-end support, from the planning of the self-developed rental apartment "LIBTH," to brokerage by directly managed stores "LIBSTORE," and post-move-in support by GLC Group's rental management division. This establishes a system that can flexibly and speedily respond to urgent corporate move-in needs and bulk contracts. Furthermore, by providing high-spec living spaces that satisfy a range of needs from single households to family households, the company is responding to diversifying residential needs.
