Investment Strategy
Focus on MFLP and IMP facilities
Among the logistics facilities that MFLP-REIT primarily invests in, it has a particular focus on MFLP facilities (leading-edge logistics facilities developed by Mitsui Fudosan that meet the prescribed standard specifications) and IMP facilities (logistics facilities developed by ITOCHU Corporation and ITOCHU Property Development that meet the prescribed standard specifications). This focus has been chosen in light of MFLP-REIT's goal of establishing a portfolio that emphasizes location, quality and balance.
Emphasis onlocation
Investing in locations suitable for logistics facilities by focusing on MFLP and IMP facilities
MFLP-REIT acquires its logistics facilities which Mitsui Fudosan, as well as ITOCHU Corporation and ITOCHU Property Development develop, taking into consideration the following matters: access to transport nodes such as major roads and ports; broad-based location conditions; travel time to population centers; surrounding population; potential future environmental changes; and the supply-demand balance.

Emphasis onbalance
Ensuring balance by acquiring a wide variety of leading-edge logistics facilities operated by Mitsui Fudosan and ITOCHU Group
We will establish a balanced portfolio by acquiring a wide variety of leading-edge logistics facilities developed for various logistics needs, tenant types and land sizes.
Rampway type
This type of logistics facility allows freight trucks direct access to truck berths located on each floor above ground level via a rampway.
Characteristics of a Rampway type
Since a rampway requires a certain minimum site area, this type of facility is limited to large sites. On the other hand, since freight trucks can access each floor directly, these facilities, as well as accommodating tenants that require multiple floors, can also house tenants that only require a portion of a floor. Therefore, Rampway MFLP facilities are expected to serve as multi-tenante logistics facilities. Furthermore, due to the relatively large area of each floor, the ease of securing space for conveying or storing cargo horizontally, and the direct access of freight trucks to each floor, high efficiency can be expected in cargo unloading and shipping processes.
Slope type
This type of logistics facility allows freight trucks direct access to truck berths located on some of the floors above ground level via a slope.
Characteristics of a Slope type
Since a slope requires a certain amount of site area, this type of facility is considered suitable for medium-sized sites. Because freight trucks can access some of the upper floors directly, the facility can be divided into use for multiple tenants. Moreover, as the floor area required for each floor can be easily secured and freight trucks can directly access multiple floors, high efficiency can be expected in cargo unloading and shipping processes.
Box type
In this type of logistics facility, freight trucks access truck berths located on the first floor. Cargo is conveyed by vertical conveyors to the upper floors.
Characteristics of a Box type
Since it has no rampway or slope, this type of facility is considered suitable for small sites. Because freight trucks access truck berths on the first floor and cargo is conveyed to the upper floors by vertical conveyors, it is also suitable for tenants with wholesale lease needs. Truck berths are often located on both sides or in an L-shape on the first floor, allowing for high efficiency in cargo unloading and shipping processes.
| Note: | A dock leveler is a piece of equipment that eliminates the difference in levels between the platform and truck bed in order to provide ready access to the truck bed for forklifts and carts. |
