Share 180 Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Masaki Ito, hereinafter "Share 180"), which plans, operates, and consults on share houses in 11 prefectures based in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, will newly open the "Fukuoka Office" in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture in April 2026.
The opening of this base will contribute to strengthening the share house business in the Kyushu area, supporting the utilization of idle real estate, and creating diverse communities that transcend nationality and occupation.
In recent years, inquiries to our company have been increasing in Kyushu due to the rapid increase in employment for young people and foreigners driven by the growth of the tech industry. Share houses have high affinity with Fukuoka City's digital nomad attraction policy, and the demand for shared housing is expected to expand further in the future.
Furthermore, the utilization of numerous idle properties lying dormant in urban areas is also an issue in Kyushu. By regenerating these into share houses, we believe we can simultaneously solve the vacant house problem and provide high-quality housing for diverse demographics. To meet such latent needs and expand places where exchanges transcend nationality and occupation can be born to Kyushu, we have decided to advance at this timing.
## 1. Background of Fukuoka Office Opening
Fukuoka City in recent years has focused on the growth of the tech industry, including implementing measures to attract digital nomads, resulting in a high population growth rate and making it an active city for the influx of young people, international students, and IT engineers. Inquiries to Share 180's official website have also increased in recent years, with a high inquiry rate from foreigners, indicating a demand for shared housing.
On the other hand, the effective utilization of idle real estate such as vacant houses, aging buildings, student dormitories, and company dormitories is also an issue in urban areas of Kyushu. Among the owners of such idle real estate, there are cases where they cannot bear the large reconstruction costs or renovation costs, and many properties remain vacant without being utilized.
Share 180 offers plans that allow renovation with 0 yen investment from owners, making it possible to propose optimal plans for owners. We are confident that by deploying the know-how we have cultivated, we can provide housing that is not just a residence, but an opportunity for "180-degree life change" through international exchange and hobbies, originating from Kyushu.
