Data firms TRUSTART and Nowcast launched a 'company-first' database of property holdings covering ~240,000 firms, including unlisted ones. Previously, mapping which company owns which property was scattered and opaque—unlisted firms nearly a black box. This flips the view from 'property' to 'company': pick a firm, then reveal its real-estate holdings.
The value is visibility. Corporate property often hides value or risk—undervalued assets or idle sites awaiting activation. Systematically mapping this, especially for unlisted firms, fills the biggest information blind spot for property deals, M&A and investment analysis. For Taiwan readers it signals Japan's property market going data-driven: such databases narrow information gaps and make 'who holds worthy assets' more transparent—more transparency means more efficient deals and pricing, a concrete sign of the industry maturing.
TRUSTART and Nowcast have built a 'company-first' database of corporate property holdings covering approximately 240,000 firms, including unlisted companies.
The database's distinguishing feature is inventorying each company's real-estate holdings starting from the company itself, including unlisted firms whose information was previously hard to obtain. By systematically organizing the relationship between firms and their properties, it is expected to serve real-estate transactions, corporate analysis and investment decisions, filling blind spots in existing market information.
