Partnership combines Japan's largest rental housing management platform with Anyplace's remote-work-focused living experience for global professionals
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Anyplace, a U.S.-based platform specializing in furnished apartments designed for remote professionals, today announced a strategic collaboration with Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd., one of Japan's largest real estate and construction companies with the nation's largest number of managed rental housing units.
The collaboration aims to accelerate the development of remote-work-optimized housing in Japan for international business professionals, digital nomads, and long-term remote workers.
Addressing Japan's Growing Demand for Work-Friendly Housing
As remote and hybrid work continue to reshape global mobility, Japan is seeing increasing demand from international professionals seeking medium- to long-term stays.
Tokyo continues to see growing demand from international professionals seeking flexible monthly housing with reliable work setups and simplified move-in processes.
However, housing options in Japan that meet the needs of modern remote workers remain limited. Many existing accommodations lack one or more of the following:
- Flexible lease structures for medium-term stays
- Professional-grade remote work environments
- Move-in-ready setups for international residents
- English-friendly support
Founded in Silicon Valley, Anyplace operates furnished apartments purpose-built for remote work across major U.S. cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.
Through this collaboration, Anyplace will combine its operational expertise in remote-work-focused housing with Daito Trust Construction's extensive residential portfolio to help expand access to housing better suited for modern remote work and international mobility.
First Pilot Launch in Tokyo's Minato Ward
As the first phase of the collaboration, the companies have launched remote-work-ready furnished apartments at a high-end residential property managed by Daito Trust Construction in Tokyo's Minato Ward.
Each unit will feature:
- Professionally designed in-unit workspaces
- High-speed internet infrastructure
- Fully furnished living environments
- Housing optimized for international business travelers and digital nomads
- Ready-to-work setup from move-in
The project will allow both companies to evaluate customer demand, operational performance, and future scalability for remote-work-focused housing in Japan.
Strategic Expansion Across Japan
Anyplace plans to use this collaboration as a foundation for broader expansion across Japan.
The company currently operates remote-work-ready furnished apartments across key areas in Tokyo, including Ebisu in Shibuya Ward, Shiba in Minato Ward, Nihonbashi in Chuo Ward, Yotsuya in Shinjuku Ward, and Hongo in Bunkyo Ward. Each property is designed for medium- to long-term stays, purpose-built for remote professionals.
Future initiatives may include:
- Utilizing Daito Trust Construction's nationwide rental housing network
- Expanding into additional cities and residential properties
- Enhancing operational systems and hospitality standards for international residents
By leveraging its existing customer base and global network, primarily in the United States, Anyplace also aims to strengthen inbound business travel demand into Japan.
CEO Commentary
"Partnering with Daito Trust Construction, which manages the largest number of rental housing units in Japan, is a major milestone for Anyplace's expansion in Japan," said Steve Satoru Naito, Founder & CEO of Anyplace.
"Globally, we are seeing rapid adoption of housing that seamlessly integrates living and working environments. Japan has world-class residential quality, yet work-ready housing for international professionals remains scarce.
Through this collaboration, we hope to help modernize Japan's rental housing experience while creating a more attractive and productive environment for global talent coming to Japan."
