What Leopalace21 does

Japanese builder-landlord that constructs and manages rental apartments nationwide, plus resort hotels in Guam.

Leases whole buildings from the landlords it built them for, guaranteeing the rent, then sublets rooms to tenants, so profit is the gap between rent collected and rent paid and depends on occupancy. A 2018 disclosure of faulty construction in some buildings led to remediation work and a restructuring that has reshaped the business.

In one line: A cross between a homebuilder and a landlord's property manager.
