Abstract: Despite the influence of real estate companies on the production of the built environment, their role of in smart city initiatives has been overlooked. As part of a smart city demonstrator program implemented by the national government, Japan has witnessed the large-scale adoption of smart grid technology by condominium developers. The article shows how the practical implementation of this government initiative was determined by the strategic motivations of the developers, the latter having equipped their mid-range condominiums with smart grids in order to attract buyers with ‘‘club'' services. The analysis is based on a corpus of 137 condominiums equipped with this technology and a case study analysis of a residential complex.
