Japan's Daikyo to reverse decades-old policy with more borrowing

Real estate firm eyes faster growth via increased condo purchases, development

Daikyo will develop new condos and also buy existing ones to boost its inventory.

TOKYO -- Daikyo is reversing its long-standing policy of cutting interest-bearing debt in an effort to boost real estate purchases that promote faster growth.

The Japanese apartment developer plans to increase debt by 240% from the level on March 31 to around 100 billion yen ($871 million), the equivalent of roughly half of its shareholders' equity, by the end of fiscal 2020.
