Redevelopment hotspots in Tokyo saw land values rise 16–33% in 2024. Most investors miss these zones until prices are already inflated. We don’t. Our networks and pattern recognition reveal opportunities before the market does. That gap — between what a property is and what it could be — is where multiples are made.
