"L-Place Series" Corporate Rental Dormitories Supporting Corporate Human Resource Strategies

In recent years, against a backdrop of deepening labor shortages and intensifying recruitment competition, companies are increasingly re-evaluating the role of employee dormitories. Especially in urban areas, rising housing costs mean that providing a living environment where new employees and those on temporary assignments can live with peace of mind is becoming a crucial factor in supporting a company's recruitment capabilities and retention rates.

Against this backdrop, Daiwa Life Next is developing the "L-Place Series" of corporate rental dormitories, and with the opening of "L-Place Sakaisuji-Honmachi," the series will comprise 77 buildings nationwide. This series incorporates systems to support daily life, including private rooms with independent water facilities, common spaces to encourage interaction, and weekday meal services. Furthermore, by promoting initiatives that consider maintaining daily rhythms and physical and mental well-being, we are fostering an environment where residents can live healthily.

Going forward, Daiwa Life Next will continue to promote the development of employee dormitories that contribute to corporate human resource strategies, while also striving to provide living environments that support the lives of individual employees.
