This study focused on the Agricultural-Housing Management Company, the management entity of Agricultural-Housing buildings constructed by the Agricultural Housing City concept. Agricultural-Housing management Company is a management company by Agricultural-Housing building owners. Most Agricultural-Housing management Companies have been dissolved, but the dissolution process is not straight forward. In this study, we focused on Corporas Harima Agricultural Housing Management Company. We identify the dissolution process of the company and the management status of 17 buildings after the dissolution to clarify the continuity of management due to differences in management methods. We clarified whether it could be considered the housing stock.
After the dissolution of the Agricultural-Housing management Company, 11 buildings continued to housing rental operations, and six buildings were redeveloped. The six buildings that chose to redevelop had relatively low occupancy rates. Of the 11 buildings that continued to be managed for housing rental operation, ten were outsourced to real estate companies, but 4 of them had already stopped accepting residents and were not functioning as housing stock due to poor management conditions. One of the 11 buildings was self-managed, the vacant rooms were renovated into community space, and community development was implemented. Adding community space, stores, and other non-housing uses to one of the buildings has become a place where people other than residents can visit and is being adequately maintained. However, it was difficult to implement in other buildings because it required active involvement of the owner. There have been cases of outsourced management, but four of them have stopped offering new residents. There were two ways to keep the building functioning as housing stock for the future, redevelopment or active utilization like self-management building. Therefore it is necessary to provide professional advice to building owners.
