The company manages approximately 600 condominium management associations covering around 53,000 residential units across Japan, supported by an 11-office nationwide branch network spanning Hokkaido to Kyushu.

The company operates four integrated business domains: condominium management, real estate intermediation (sale, purchase, rental of managed properties including the LIVIO branded condo series), engineering (long-term repair planning, large-scale renovation, and the proprietary RESURGE18 long-cycle renovation program extending cycles from 12 to 18 years), and facility management (corporate dormitories, employee housing, and office buildings, including Nippon Steel group accounts).

The revenue model is dominated by recurring monthly management fees from condominium associations (subscription/managed services), supplemented by project-based engineering revenue, transaction fees from real estate intermediation, and managed services contracts from corporate facility management clients. The company sells primarily through direct sales teams organized by geographic branch (North Japan, East Japan, Nagoya, West Japan, Kyushu), with phone hotlines and web inquiry forms serving both B2B management associations and B2C residents. The company holds a comprehensive stack of government licenses covering condominium management, real estate transaction, rental housing management, special/general building construction, architecture office, and security business operations. As of December 2025, headcount stands at 1,264 employees and registered capital at ¥1 billion.
