ActPro Co., Ltd. is transferring its real estate business, Retreat NAVI, to NDP Marketing Co., Ltd. on January 20, 2025, to ensure the platform's continued operation and improvement amid strategic changes in ActPro's business direction.

Target Information

ActPro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Manabu Shintani) is set to transfer its real estate business, "Retreat NAVI (Navi)," to NDP Marketing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo City, Hokkaido; Representative Director: Kotaki Nakamura) on January 20, 2025. "Retreat NAVI (Navi)" was developed to systematize the company's real estate operations, serving as a platform that enables real estate transactions prior to tenant move-out notifications. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a notable increase in properties available for lease, particularly from restaurants wishing to vacate. The platform successfully provided a new framework for real estate transactions, benefiting both tenants looking to vacate properties and prospective renters.

In light of a strategic shift in the company’s business direction, ActPro temporarily suspended this service in June 2024. The upcoming transfer of the business to NDP Marketing is anticipated to facilitate a re-launch and enhancement of the service. ActPro is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for customers and is dedicated to avoiding any disruptions in service during this period.
