What Ascot does
Ascot Corp. (株式会社アスコット, founded 1999, headquartered in Tokyo) is a Japanese for-profit real estate developer operating six business lines: rental apartment development (flagship brands ASTILE, ASTILE studio, OZIO, TIPETTO), condominium development (FARE, ASCOT PARK GRAN, AMAZE), office and commercial facility development (AUSPICE, MISTO share offices), logistics facility development (Apls / Ascot Prime Logistics), property value-adding renovation (R.core, aLATO, PRACTICAL), and property management / real estate fund management. The company has developed 70+ properties across Tokyo, Kansai, Chubu, Kyushu, and Tohoku, and operates two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — Ascot Asset Consulting (property management) and Ascot Investment Management (fund management). Ascot was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market (ticker 3264) from August 2008 until its delisting on April 25, 2025; the company continues to operate as a going concern post-delisting.
The company's core competency is design-led, sustainability-certified property development, evidenced by 19 Good Design Awards over 7 consecutive years, the first ZEH-M Oriented residential certifications in fiscal 2025, and a 4-star DBJ Green Building certification for AUSPICE Fukuoka Tenjin (December 2024). Ascot monetizes through one-time property sales to institutional investors and end-users, recurring property management fees via Ascot Asset Consulting, fund management fees via Ascot Investment Management's private real estate funds, and crowdfunding transaction fees through the Funds platform (cumulative ¥4B+). Its go-to-market combines direct sales through its website and sales contact system, sales-led outreach to institutional investors and corporate tenants for logistics/office assets, and channel distribution via crowdfunding. Major shareholders include Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd. (parent) and SBI Holdings, with prior board representation from AI CROSS leadership for DX and international expertise.
