M&A Research Institute Relocates and Expands Sapporo Office in Response to Rapid Growth

On June 26, 2025, M&A Research Institute Inc, a leading M&A advisory firm, relocated and expanded its Sapporo office to the Takesato Building in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. The move comes just eight months after opening its original Sapporo location in October 2024, underscoring the firm's rapid growth driven by its AI-powered “M&A×TECH” platform. The new office is intended to enhance both operational efficiency and employee work environments.M&A Research Institute Inc.

The Takesato Building is an 8-story mid-size office property with a gross floor area of approximately 998 tsubo (approx. 33,000 sq. ft.), located a 3-minute walk from Exit 13 of Sapporo Subway Station (Namboku and Toho Lines) and 7 minutes from JR Sapporo Station. Despite being completed in 1978, the building’s prominent location along the street in front of station thoroughfare ensures strong tenant demand in central Sapporo.

M&A Research Institute Inc has been aggressively expanding its regional footprint, both by opening new offices and enlarging existing ones. On July 30, 2024, the company simultaneously launched its fifth and sixth offices in Okinawa and Sapporo, respectively. More recently, on June 23, 2025, it relocated and expanded its Osaka office to the 13th floor of Grand Front Osaka Tower B, aiming to strengthen client support across western Japan.
