Business Airport

What Business Airport does

Business Airport is a Tokyo-based, membership-based shared office and coworking brand operated by Life & Work Design Co., Ltd. (ライフ＆ワークデザイン株式会社), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyu Fudosan Co., Ltd. (東急不動産株式会社). Founded in 2018 and headquartered at Shibuya Solasta in Tokyo with 127 employees as of April 2026, the company operates 19+ locations concentrated in Tokyo's premium central business districts — including Marunouchi, Hibiya, Kudanshita, Kanda, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Shimbashi, Takeshiba, Tamachi, Shinagawa, Aoyama, four Shibuya-area sites (Shibuya Sakura Stage, Shibuya Fukuras, Shibuya Nanpeidai, Daikanyama), Ebisu, and Shinjuku 3-chome — plus a Yokohama location and a partner-operated Nishiumeda (Osaka) site. Its target customers span SMBs using dedicated offices as primary or satellite space, project-based teams needing short-term (minimum 2-month) workspace, early-stage entrepreneurs and startups, individual professionals, and enterprises sourcing meeting space in transit-adjacent Grade-A buildings.

The product portfolio is a tiered workspace ladder: dedicated private offices (Service Office from 132,000 JPY/month, Booth from 110,000 JPY/month, Desk from 104,500 JPY/month) with 24-hour access, address registration, cleaning, and waste collection included; a co-working "Share Workplace" offering four membership tiers (Address Member from 71,500 JPY/month with corporate registration rights, Master Member at 38,500 JPY/month with unlimited access, Private Member at 14,300 JPY/month for weekday-focused use, and Flex Member at 550 JPY per 30 minutes on pay-as-you-go); reservable meeting rooms across all sites; event spaces; and staffed reception with dedicated Community Managers providing member business support. The underlying technology stack is light — a web-based My Page member portal handles enrollment, reservations, guest applications, and contract management — with no proprietary AI/ML or differentiated software platform disclosed. Revenue is generated almost entirely through predictable monthly subscription recurring fees with no long-term lease commitment, supplemented by meeting room bookings and event programming (startup networking, Marketing Night, AI seminars, wellness events). Financials are not publicly disclosed; as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyu Fudosan, the business operates inside a major Japanese real estate conglomerate and is not independently funded through capital markets.
