SynapSpark

SynapSpark is a Japanese joint venture established by SoftBank and Nikken Sekkei to help develop smart buildings that use connected data to improve building value over time. Bringing together the partners’ expertise in technology, architecture, and information systems, the company supports responses to challenges such as decarbonization, labor shortages, and increasingly severe natural disasters.

Its services include smart-building consulting, design support, and recommendations for systems and applications, with assistance extending from planning and design through operations. SynapSpark also offers products that connect information about people and buildings and enable data use through applications. Its building operating system, synapsmart, uses equipment and environmental data to help optimize building operations.

The company’s projects include digital transformation consulting for the Tomakomai AI Data Center, smart-building initiatives at Shibuya Solasta and Shibuya Fukuras, and support for the development of the 16FG Office & Park headquarters building. Across these projects, SynapSpark aims to create adaptive spaces and advance building management through practical digital solutions.
