Starts Proceeds REIT Reacquires Two Previously Disposed Properties, Also Acquires Two Newly Built Sponsor Properties

Starts Proceeds Investment Corporation will acquire four rental residential properties in the Tokyo metropolitan area from its sponsor, Starts Development, on March 31 and April 24, 2026. The combined acquisition price is approximately JPY 2,854 million. Most notably, two of the four assets are properties the REIT had previously sold in April 2023 and is now reacquiring.

The two reacquired assets are Proceed Koenji Minami in Suginami Ward, acquired for JPY 251 million, and Proceed Kashiwa Trois in Kashiwa City, acquired for JPY 688 million. Koenji Minami had originally been sold in April 2023 because the property was more than 30 years old and was expected to entail a growing maintenance burden. Kashiwa Trois had also been sold at that time, with the REIT booking a reserve related to tax deferral on asset replacement while also anticipating future excess profit distributions. However, both properties continued to post stable occupancy after disposition, and the REIT confirmed upside potential for rent growth. It therefore decided to reacquire them as assets offering a balance of profitability, growth potential and stability.

The two newly built assets are Proceed Kasai 3 in Edogawa Ward, acquired for JPY 980 million and completed in January 2025, and Proceed Fuchu Miyanishi in Fuchu City, acquired for JPY 935 million and completed in July 2025. Proceed Kasai 3 is an eight-minute walk from Kasai Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, while Proceed Fuchu Miyanishi is an eight-minute walk from Bubaigawara Station on the JR Nambu Line and Keio Line. Both offer convenient access to central Tokyo. Occupancy at the two properties stands at 99.7% to 100.0%, underscoring the REIT’s stable external growth through its sponsor pipeline.
