URBAN LiKE INC.

URBAN LiKE INC. (株式会社アーバンライク) is a Japanese company headquartered in Arao, Kumamoto Prefecture, with a second head office in Fukuoka City. It was founded in February 2008 in Omuta, Fukuoka, under the name URBAN HOME (アーバンホーム), and renamed URBAN LiKE in 2019. The company describes itself as a QOL (quality of life) creation enterprise that goes beyond the conventional housing company, providing real value in fields related to living through architecture and real estate. The company operates across three broad business fields: RESORT & ASSET (resort and asset development), SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE (social infrastructure such as welfare facilities), and LIFE CREATE (housing and lifestyle creation). Its housing brand URBAN HOME remains in use, while subsidiary CENO focuses on exterior works and Livment is associated with real estate. The corporate philosophy is 'to create wonderful dramas in people's lives on the stage of a life beyond the ideal' (理想以上の暮らしを舞台に人々の素敵なドラマをつくる). The 'LiKE' in the company name is said to mean 'likeness' or 'one's own style' (らしさ) rather than 'like' as in preference, expressing a wish to provide services and products in the company's own style. URBAN LiKE has expanded across Kyushu and Okinawa, with offices in Kumamoto (four bases), Fukuoka (two bases), Saga (one base) and Okinawa (one base). Its registered head office is in Manda, Arao City, Kumamoto, while its Fukuoka head office is in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. As of the fiscal year ended October 2025, the company reported revenue of 5,141 million yen and 74 employees (including part-time and contract staff). Capital is 90 million yen. Representative Director and President is Satoru Yoshino. In 2021 the company listed on the TOKYO PRO Market. Its business lines include housing, exteriors, real estate, GH (group home) operations, container house operations and office renovation. Through its welfare facility business 'Rashiku' and other activities, URBAN LiKE positions itself as contributing to local communities and addressing social issues.

URBAN LiKE INC. was established on February 13, 2008, in Sakura-machi, Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture, under the name 'URBAN HOME' (アーバンホーム). The founding spirit was to 'change the common sense of housing companies.' In 2011, the registered head office was relocated to Manda, Arao City, Kumamoto Prefecture. In 2013, a Tamana store was opened in Tamana City, Kumamoto. In 2015, a Yanagawa store was opened in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka. In 2016, a subsidiary specializing in exteriors, 'CENO Inc.' (株式会社CENO), was established. In 2017, a Kumamoto Heisei store was opened in Kumamoto City, Kumamoto. In 2018, Ryukyu Urban Home was opened in Ginowan City, Okinawa. In March 2019, the company changed its name to 'URBAN LiKE' (株式会社アーバンライク), keeping URBAN HOME as the housing business brand. In 2020, a Saga store was opened in Saga City, Saga. In 2021, a Kumamoto Hokubu store was opened in Kumamoto City and a Fukuoka head office was opened in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City; in the same year, the company listed on the TOKYO PRO Market. The company has since continued to operate in three broad fields: RESORT & ASSET, SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, and LIFE CREATE, and has pursued welfare facility business 'Rashiku' and other social contribution activities.
