Renoveru Achieves #1 Nationwide and in the Capital Region for Sixth Consecutive Year Among Contractor-Type Firms — Ranking of 'Certified R Housing' Issuance —

Renoveru Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomohiro Yamashita; hereinafter “Renoveru”), which operates a renovation platform promoting the circulation and utilization of existing real estate stock, has achieved the highest number of 410 certifications in the 2025 fiscal year ranking of companies issuing Certified Renovation Housing (hereinafter “Certified R Housing”)—homes meeting quality standards for high-quality renovations—announced in June 2026 by the General Incorporated Association Renovation Council. As a contractor-type business, Renoveru ranked first both nationwide and in the capital region, and second in the Kansai region. This marks the sixth consecutive year of top ranking in both nationwide and capital region categories.

With declining supply and rising prices of new condominiums, demand for existing homes and renovation services is increasing. As second-hand housing and renovation become more common, it is essential to cultivate a market where consumers can make safe and informed choices. Since 2009, Renoveru has standardized the issuance of “R1 Housing” (Certified R Housing meeting quality standards for individually owned units in condominiums) as a standard practice when fully renovating strata-titled condominiums. Renoveru will continue to work with the Renovation Council to promote the provision of renovation homes that consumers can confidently select.

【Key Announcement Points】Sixth consecutive year as top contractor-type firm: Ranked 1st nationwide and in the capital region, 2nd in Kansai.

【What are 'Certified R Housing' and 'R1 Housing'? (※2)】

'Certified R Housing' is a unified standard established by the General Incorporated Association Renovation Council for high-quality renovations. After inspection and necessary repairs, records are stored as housing history information. Having housing history makes maintenance and inspections easier and is beneficial when selling in the future. Additionally, post-renovation service warranties are provided, making Certified R Housing a trustworthy choice for consumers. Standards are set by building type, and 'R1 Housing' refers specifically to units in strata-titled condominiums that meet quality standards for exclusive parts. Inspection criteria are defined for 13 'critical infrastructure' items (e.g., water supply pipes, drainage pipes, gas piping, electrical wiring, bathroom waterproofing).

【Types of Renovation Businesses: 'Buy-and-Renovate' vs. 'Contractor-Type'】

'Buy-and-renovate' refers to a business model where a company purchases used real estate, renovates it, and sells it as a 'renovated property.' Customers can view completed units before purchasing. In contrast, 'contractor-type' renovation involves individual consumers acting as clients who commission a company to carry out renovations. The company works with clients to deliver custom or selected-type renovations, creating homes tailored to their lifestyles.

【Company Overview: Renoveru Co., Ltd.】

Renoveru aims to realize its mission of 'Making Japanese living the smartest and most beautiful in the world' by building an integrated renovation platform that promotes the circulation and utilization of real estate stock owned by individuals and corporations while matching them with suppliers. Collaborating with 500 partner companies nationwide, Renoveru offers 'Renoveru.'—a one-stop service for finding and renovating used condominiums with the top domestic track record (※3) for individual customers—and 'City Creation Business,' a one-stop solution for corporate clients to advance CRE strategies (※4) and effective utilization. The company also provides business, operational, and DX support optimized for suppliers in the renovation industry.

Renovation that utilizes existing real estate stock is a sustainable option that reduces CO² emissions compared to new construction. Furthermore, performance-enhancing renovations that improve energy efficiency and insulation can further reduce energy-related CO² emissions (※5). In November 2023, Renoveru received investment from the government-backed 'Decarbonization Support Organization,' becoming the first investment case in the housing, real estate, and construction sectors.

Renoveru connects individuals, corporations, and suppliers through three platforms, transforming challenges into value, accelerating growth, and aiming to realize a circular and carbon-neutral society.
