Seiko Estate & Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Representative Director: Masatoshi Takagi), which supports hybrid real estate investment in Kyushu and Fukuoka, aiming for stable returns from new apartment investments and long-term bulk leasing for nursing home investments, announces the establishment of its wholly-owned subsidiary, "Seiko Archiline Co., Ltd.," specializing in architectural design and construction, and the completion of its Specified Construction Business Permit acquisition.
This allows our group to further strengthen its architectural design and construction system, which has been a core strength in new apartment building investments and nursing home investments. It also enables us to respond to a wider range of construction needs, including RC condominium construction for inheritance tax measures, factory/warehouse/office building construction, and commercial/retail/various large-scale facility construction.
This is not merely the "establishment of a new construction company."
The establishment of Seiko Archiline is a strategic move to enhance the group's overall value by more professionally and flexibly connecting the knowledge that the Seiko Estate & Development Group has cultivated in real estate investment support, land utilization, architectural planning, and financing strategies to architectural design and construction, thereby strengthening the group's system.
Why establish a specialized architectural design and construction company now?
Seiko Estate & Development has consistently supported real estate investment from land selection, profitability planning, financing strategies, design, construction, management, to sale, primarily in Fukuoka. Particularly in the fields of new apartment building investments and nursing home investments, we have a track record of supporting customers from both architectural and investment perspectives.
However, in recent years, inquiries to our group have become more diverse and sophisticated.
For example, there has been an increase in requests such as:
* Considering RC condominium construction for inheritance tax measures.
* Comparing RC structures and large-scale buildings as land utilization options, not just apartments.
* Consulting on factory/warehouse/office building construction for corporations, in addition to nursing home investments.
* Entrusting us with integrated architectural planning that emphasizes business viability, such as commercial facilities and tenant buildings.
* Proposing not just construction, but also considering subsequent profitability and operational efficiency.
One of the underlying factors is the increasing need for inheritance tax measures.
According to the National Tax Agency's report on inheritance tax declarations for Reiwa 5 (2023), the number of deceased persons subject to inheritance tax declarations was 155,740, the total taxable value was 21,633.5 billion yen, and the total declared tax amount was 3,053 billion yen, all exceeding the previous year. We believe that real estate utilization and construction consultations based on inheritance tax measures and asset succession will continue to grow in importance.
Furthermore, the reorganization and reinvestment of corporate construction needs cannot be overlooked.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Report on Statistics of Building Starts (Reiwa 7 total), private non-residential buildings, stores, and warehouses increased compared to the previous year. Even in a year with an overall downward trend, it is clear that investment and construction demand are moving in specific categories such as logistics, business bases, and commercial uses.
Moreover, urban redevelopment, including the Tenjin Big Bang, is steadily progressing in Fukuoka City. As of the end of March 2025, the number of building permit applications reached 93, and the number of completed buildings was 74. The advancement of Fukuoka's urban functions and business concentration creates an environment conducive to consultations not only for residential properties but also for commercial real estate and large-scale construction.
In response to these trends, our group has decided that it is necessary to further deepen our existing construction support for investors while also establishing an architectural design and construction system that encompasses inheritance, asset succession, corporate construction, and large-scale construction.
The answer to this is the establishment of Seiko Archiline, which specializes in architectural design and construction functions.
What changes for the group with the establishment of Seiko Archiline?
Seiko Archiline is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seiko Estate & Development, specializing in architectural design and construction.
Previously, our group, as a real estate investment support company, provided end-to-end support for land, financing, profitability, construction, management, and sale. By making the construction function independent and strengthening it as Seiko Archiline, the group can achieve the following systemic evolution:
1. More specialized and strengthened construction support for new apartment and nursing home investments.
Seiko Estate & Development Group's traditional strength in architectural design and construction for new apartment building investments and nursing home investments can now be handled with even greater specialization.
Construction that considers not just building, but also profitability, financing strategy, location, and operation.
