Joint Files For Bankruptcy Protection

Japanese apartment developer Joint Corp filed for bankruptcy protection with about a $1.5 billion debt. Joint, which received a capital infusion from Orix Corp last year, seemed to have weathered the sluggish state of the property market.

Before the announcement, shares of Joint were traded at around 215 yen. It was a surprise to players of both equity and real estate markets.
