Based in Osaka with a branch in the Kyushu region in Japan, SINSEI PROPERTY is a specialized real estate firm focusing on the sale, leasing, and brokerage of investment real estate, as well as providing end-to-end property and asset management consulting services.

・Establishing a nationwide response system spanning the Tokyo metropolitan area, Kansai, and Kyushu regions through enhanced joint purchasing and sales system
・Enhancing customer retention strategies by leveraging integrated customer data infrastructure
・Increasing operational efficiency and strengthening multilingual support services through the adoption of digital transformation (DX) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies

Management Commentary
“Following a thorough review of operational economics and the strong business synergies, it became clear that SINSEI PROPERTY is the ideal partner to integrate into our operations,” said GATES CEO Yuji Sekino. “This move represents both a geographical and operational expansion, incorporating the Kansai and Kyushu regions into a business foundation that has, until now, been centered in the Tokyo metropolitan area. SINSEI PROPERTY’s on-site capabilities, local networks, and agile decision-making are critical to realizing GATES’ vision of a real estate investment model that grows in tandem with local communities.
“SINSEI PROPERTY’s consistent, growing, and profitable financial performance over the years will provide incremental support to our balance sheet, further strengthening GATES’ financial position and growth opportunities as we continue to prepare for a future listing on a major U.S. exchange. By establishing a group structure that integrates regional reach, human capital diversity, and advanced digital technologies, together we aim to deliver a real estate investment platform that meets global standards of transparency, reliability, and investor confidence.”
