Core offering

Toshi Techno is a Tokyo-based demolition and urban regeneration company providing building demolition, construction waste recycling, real estate brokerage, and renovation services. The firm bundles community-focused urban planning concepts into its deconstruction and redevelopment projects, operating dedicated sub-brands for coin parking (Tometeke), community spaces (Ne-zukuri-ya / ねづくりや), and renovation work (LANCE), and acts as a sales agent for KooNe high-resolution spatial audio products.

Product overview

Toshi Techno operates a unified multi-service urban regeneration platform organized into three interconnected divisions: (1) Demolition & Deconstruction Services, providing building surveys, asbestos removal, soil remediation, and resource recovery; (2) Urban Development & Community Services, operating neighborhood spaces and community events including the Ne-zukuri-ya restaurant/event venue and the Demolition Festival and Demolition University programs; and (3) Real Estate & Renovation Services, offering brokerage and renovation under the LANCE brand and coin parking management under the Tometeke brand. Toshi Techno also serves as an authorized sales agent for KooNe high-resolution spatial audio systems from JVC Kenwood. The three divisions work in concert — demolition creates opportunities for real estate development, and urban development activities build community support for regeneration projects.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Taisei Corporation: Large Japanese general contractor with established demolition engineering and urban redevelopment projects. Comparable on demolition services for aging commercial/residential stock in Tokyo, but with much broader capabilities across civil engineering and construction.
• Tokyu Land Corporation: Diversified Japanese real estate developer active in urban renewal and redevelopment in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Comparable as a counterparty for redevelopment-driven demolition projects and as a partner in community-engagement initiatives, but at much larger scale across multiple asset classes.
• Kajima Corporation: One of Japan's 'Big Five' super-general contractors with a major demolition and urban redevelopment division. Comparable because it handles large-scale building demolition, sponsors Kaitaisai events, and operates in the same Tokyo redevelopment market, but at vastly greater scale and with broader construction services.
• Shimizu Corporation: Major Japanese general contractor with extensive demolition and urban renewal capabilities. Operates in the same Tokyo metropolitan market and competes for large redevelopment contracts, though its demolition services sit inside a much larger engineering and construction portfolio.
• Obayashi Corporation: Major Japanese construction group with demolition and redevelopment divisions active in the Tokyo market. Competes for the same redevelopment-driven demolition work but does not differentiate on community engagement.
• Takenaka Corporation: Top-tier Japanese general contractor with significant demolition, renovation, and urban regeneration activity. Directly comparable on demolition execution for aging Tokyo buildings but is far larger and offers construction as its primary business rather than community-focused urban regeneration.
• Mori Building Co., Ltd. Leading Tokyo-based urban redevelopment developer (e.g., Toranomon Hills, Roppongi Hills). Comparable on the urban regeneration side of Toshi Techno's business — integrated community-driven redevelopment of aging districts — but operates as a developer/asset owner rather than a demolition-led specialist.

Direct peers

• Daiseki Eco Solutions Co., Ltd. Japan-focused environmental services company specializing in industrial waste processing, demolition waste recycling, and resource recovery. Direct comparable on the construction-waste recycling and circular-economy elements of Toshi Techno's business, with overlapping expertise in recycled aggregate and material upcycling.
