The latest update is out from Ichigo Office REIT Investment Corporation ( (JP:8975) ).

Ichigo Office REIT reported a modest improvement in portfolio occupancy in April 2026, with overall occupancy rising to 97.3% from 96.9% the previous month, driven by gains in Central Tokyo and the four major regional cities. While departures in properties in Tachikawa and Kawasaki weighed on the wider Tokyo metropolitan area, the addition of new tenants at assets such as Ichigo Sakurabashi and Ichigo Gotanda supported the portfolio, alongside a slight increase in tenant count to 1,036.

The REIT is also pushing value-add initiatives to boost tenant satisfaction and earnings, highlighted by the renovation of the fifth floor of the Ichigo Otemachi North Building into an Ichigo-designed Ready to Move In office with modern amenities and flexible workspace features. By targeting a rapid lease-up of this upgraded space and aiming for about a 30% rent increase, Ichigo Office is seeking to strengthen asset competitiveness and drive higher returns for investors through enhanced functionality and immediate usability for incoming tenants.
