Adval

Adval Inc. operates as a diversified real estate and space-sharing enterprise, primarily targeting the flexible office and restaurant property markets in Japan. The company was founded in July 2008 by its Representative Director, Kunihito Nakano, and was formally established as a stock company (kabushiki gaisha) in June 2016. Mr. Nakano launched the business with a model centered on the intersection of real estate and food service, initially acquiring and subleasing desirable restaurant properties. This evolved into creating a real estate information platform for restaurant operators, which became a foundational element of the company's portfolio.

Adval's business is structured around several key services. The core is its space-sharing division, which manages over 300 rental spaces in the Tokyo metropolitan area under brands like "TIME SHARING" and the high-grade "Grade Park". These venues cater to a wide range of uses including corporate meetings, seminars, exhibitions, and private parties. To monetize vacant commercial real estate, Adval offers "Skima Rental," a service where it converts empty tenant spaces into temporary meeting rooms, sharing the revenue with property owners at no upfront cost to them. For recurring clients, the company provides "OfficeTicket," a subscription-based service for meeting rooms across more than 100 locations.

Expanding on its initial focus, Adval serves the restaurant industry through several specialized web portals. These include "Bukenavi," a site listing over 10,000 vacant restaurant properties, and "Inshokuten Kaitori.jp," which facilitates the sale and transfer of existing restaurant businesses. The firm also provides support for launching cloud kitchens to meet the demand for delivery services and operates a catering business to complement its event spaces. Additionally, Adval runs a service office business, offering fully-managed, high-grade office facilities for companies ranging from startups to established enterprises. The company is a subsidiary of the publicly traded Vision Inc.
