SQUEEZE Inc. (TSE Growth: 558A; Headquarters: Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido; CEO: Shinichi Tatebayashi; the “Company”), which is driving AI Transformation (AX) in the hospitality and tourism industry, hereby announces that Minn Ryogoku, an apartment hotel arranged by RS Investment Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kaname Wakabayashi), is scheduled to open in Sumida-ku, Tokyo in December 2026. The property will be the Company’s first operating base in Sumida Ward.

Minn Ryogoku is a new project based on the comprehensive business alliance concluded with RS Investment Management in August 2026. The property comprises 24 rooms with a maximum capacity of 172 guests, each accommodating six to eight guests, and will serve family and group demand in the Ryogoku area, a district known for sumo and Edo culture.

■ Deepening the Partnership with RS Investment Management and Advancing the “Real × Tech” Model

The Company and RS Investment Management have previously collaborated on hotel projects including Minn Nihonbashi Suitengumae and Minn Kawaramachi Gojo Riverside. Building on this track record, the two companies entered into a comprehensive business alliance agreement concerning the acquisition and operation of lodging facilities in August 2026, strengthening their collaboration to create a continuous pipeline of hotel projects.

Under the alliance, the two companies are advancing a “Real × Tech” collaboration model that combines RS Investment Management’s real estate investment arrangement and asset management functions (Real) with the hotel operations and AX capabilities the Company provides through suitebook, its proprietary next-generation operations platform (Tech). By linking development by real estate developers, sales and investment arrangement by RS Investment Management, and operations by the Company, the framework integrates the entire process from the planning and development of lodging facilities through to their operation.

Minn Ryogoku is one of the projects that give concrete form to the alliance concluded in August 2026. Leveraging their collaboration track record, the two companies will further advance the “Real × Tech” model for the development and operation of next-generation lodging facilities.

■ Outlook

Through the opening of Minn Ryogoku, the Company and RS Investment Management will further strengthen the integration of real estate investment arrangement capabilities with technology-driven hotel operations.
Going forward, the two companies aim to develop and operate approximately 20 next-generation lodging facilities in major cities across Japan over the next several years. By also extending this model, which separates the “arrangement” and “operation” functions of real estate, to other partner companies, they will advance an asset-light strategy across the industry.
