What is the Solution to the Growing Problem of Aging Apartments? Press Briefing by a Real Estate Appraiser

SA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasuhiro Sakai) will hold an individual press briefing for media representatives on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, concerning the increasingly prevalent social issue of "difficulties in maintaining and selling aging apartments." The briefing will focus on a latest revitalization case study of a "non-rebuildable apartment with 10 tenants" that the company handled. Our representatives, including a certified real estate appraiser, will directly explain our unique problem-solving know-how for overcoming complex ownership structures and physical limitations to transform distressed properties into valuable assets.

■ Overview of the Press Briefing for Media Representatives

Amidst the worsening vacant house problem nationwide, there is a surge in cases where aging buildings, despite their deterioration, cannot be demolished due to the presence of tenants or cannot be rebuilt because they are non-rebuildable. This leaves owners burdened solely by maintenance and repair costs. This briefing will provide information on the reality of complex real estate issues and approaches to their resolution, while responding to individual questions from media representatives.

Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2026, 13:00 - 17:00

Location: SA Corporation Headquarters (Kioicho Honsha Bldg. 6F, 3-12 Kioicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)

Instructor: Yasuhiro Sakai (Real Estate Appraiser, SA Group Representative)

*This event is a press opportunity for media representatives and journalists (consultation available on alternative dates).

■ Case Study Overview: How a "Quadruple Curse" Property, Rejected by Others, Was Revitalized

An apartment building that was old, non-rebuildable, and inhabited by 10 tenants. Leaks occurred with every heavy rain, making repair costs a significant burden for the owner. It suffered from a "quadruple curse": non-rebuildable, occupied by tenants (no interior viewing possible), prone to leaks, and with a history of some incidents. However, through our company's unique investigation and accurate assessment of investment value, we achieved consensus with all tenants while implementing minimal necessary renovations. As a result, the property was successfully sold as an investment property.
