Renoveru

Renoveru (リノベる株式会社) is a Tokyo-based real estate and renovation company that builds what it calls an integrated renovation platform, organized into three connected businesses: a housing renovation platform for individual consumers, a CRE (corporate real estate) renovation and asset-utilization platform for corporate clients, and an industry-support platform that provides management, operations and DX support to other renovation businesses. Its stated aim is to circulate and re-use existing building stock by matching individual and corporate owners with suppliers while supporting those suppliers.

For consumers, the company helps buyers select and purchase existing homes or second-hand apartments while proposing renovation plans both online and offline, delivered through its one-stop service brand "リノベる。" that combines used-condominium purchase with renovation. It also provides an online tool that lets homebuilders share renovation plans and photographs with carpenters, construction supervisors and architects, and distributes construction materials and equipment through a subsidiary. For corporate clients it undertakes whole-building renovation projects, such as the conversion of a former company dormitory into a rental residence with Tokyu Land Corporation.

Sustainability is positioned as a core theme, with the company citing work on reducing environmental load and responding to climate change, shifting toward a stock-utilization society, area/neighborhood attractiveness, and workforce diversity. It reports visualizing the environmental effects of renovation and promoting ZEH-standard renovation in collaboration with Sekisui Chemical.

Founding story

Renoveru began operating in April 2010 as a real estate startup addressing Japan's existing-home market, offering consumers combined property search, purchase support and renovation planning across online and offline channels.

Business model

Renoveru sells renovation services and related brokerage/design work directly to individual homebuyers and to corporate property owners, and additionally monetizes the wider industry through a support platform for renovation operators (management, operations and digitalization support) and a franchise program. It also distributes construction materials and equipment via a subsidiary and recruits construction firms,工務店, designers and franchisees as partners.

Revenue derives from consumer renovation and used-home purchase projects, corporate whole-building and CRE renovation contracts, franchise/partner programs for renovation operators, and distribution of construction materials and equipment through a subsidiary.

Traction

Renoveru reports six consecutive years as the top contract-type operator nationally and in the Tokyo metropolitan area by "適合R住宅" issuance, publishes a recurring "リノベる。ユーザーレポート", and has completed corporate projects such as "Comforia Liv Shonan Kugenuma", a whole-building renovation of a former company dormitory into rental residences with Tokyu Land Corporation. It has raised funding from a range of Japanese corporate and venture investors, including a 1.3 billion yen (about $11.8 million) investment from Mitsui & Co. in 2017.

Latest developments

In August 2026 the company launched "RROOM", a renovation brand aimed at restoring the value of used condominiums in Asia, and opened its brand site. It also announced an Asia expansion with new subsidiaries in Singapore and Thailand and the start of construction on a first resale project in Bangkok, completed the "Comforia Liv Shonan Kugenuma" whole-building conversion of a former company dormitory into rental residences with Tokyu Land Corporation, reported a sixth consecutive year at the top of the "適合R住宅" issuance ranking among contract-type operators, and received media coverage of a first regeneration project commissioned under Literam.
