[Nexwill Inc.] CEO Tomoyuki Maruoka
Background of the Partnership
This partnership was realized through an introduction by Mr. Yuki Saito, former Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters player, who operates 'SUNNY TERRRACE' at F-Village in Kitahiroshima.
While the city is gathering attention with the opening of 'F-Village', including Es Con Field HOKKAIDO, due to the progression of a declining birthrate and aging population, the natural decrease where the number of deaths exceeds births continues, and the rate of population decline is expanding year by year.

Furthermore, issues related to vacant houses are becoming more serious, such as restrictions on rebuilding due to the Building Standards Act and district plans, Hokkaido's unique problems with falling snow and snow removal, and the polarization of prices.
Through this partnership, we will re-circulate real estate that was previously difficult to distribute back into the market, contributing to the solution of Kitahiroshima City's vacant house problem.
About Nexwill Inc.
Our company purchases vacant houses and problematic real estate that are considered difficult to sell compared to general real estate. We then make modifications, such as organizing legal rights, to eliminate the 'reasons' that make them difficult to handle and sell, and then resell them.
When people hear 'problematic real estate', many think of stigmatized properties (e.g., sites of accidents), but there are actually other factors.
Examples include joint ownership where there are multiple property owners due to inheritance, properties that cannot be rebuilt because they do not meet the conditions of the Building Standards Act, and real estate where inheritance is repeated without registration, eventually leading to unknown owners.
Our company operates the problematic real estate purchasing business 'Wakegai', which purchases such real estate, organizes the legal rights, and puts them into a sellable state.
We are also actively engaging in public-private partnerships with municipalities and sports teams to solve the increasingly serious vacant house problem. We support the resolution of vacant house issues by concluding partnership agreements with multiple municipalities. While collaborating with sports teams, we promote the resolution of the vacant house problem and regional revitalization through a three-party partnership of 'Local Municipality x Sports Team x Nexwill'.
