Characteristics of the Property

■In terms of the basic specifications, the effective ceiling height is 5.5 m on the first to third floors and 6.5 m on the fourth floor, while the floor load on all floors is 1.5 t/m2 and the column spacing 11.9 m × 10.0 m. This ensures general functionality and adaptability to tenants from a wide range of industries.
■As the effective ceiling height on the fourth floor is higher than the standard and the fire safety zone is a pillar free space, the installation of large scale material handling machinery (*1) and a highly flexible layout are possible.
■Regarding on site conveyor facilities, the first and second floors offer space for five (5) cargo elevators and four (4) vertical conveyors to adapt to future needs, while the third and fourth floors have two (2) cargo elevators installed and space for an additional three (3) to adapt to future needs. There are additionally two (2) vertical conveyors installed and space for an additional two (2) to adapt to future needs.
■For efficient cargo handling, the layout is highly convenient, with ramps giving direct truck access to truck berths on the first to third floors (berths for 34 vehicles on the standard floor), while the provision of two (2) entrance exit points each for trucks and passenger cars contributes further to efficient operation.
■Meanwhile, a dedicated entrance exit point for pedestrians and bicycles and the complete separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the site through separate lines of movement promotes staff safety and efficient logistics operations.
■Parking provision consists of spaces for 120 passenger cars and a truck standby area for five (5) vehicles.
■As a measure to reduce environmental burden, the roof is fitted with solar panels (*2).
■In terms of business continuity, the facility adopts a quake damping structure using unbonded braces (*3), thus ensuring employee safety.

*1 Material handling machinery is specialist machinery for stacking, de stacking, conveying, etc., of goods.
*2 The solar power generation facility is not owned by MFLP-REIT.
*3 Unbonded brace is a registered trademark of Nippon Steel & Sumikin Engineering Co., Ltd. It consists of a steel core plate surrounded bygrout and enclosed in a steel tube, giving it a superior plastic deformability to absorb impacts without buckling.

Access

■The property is located in Noda City in the northwest of Chiba Prefecture approximately 30 km from central Tokyo. There is a large concentration of industrial facilities along National Route 16, which runs through the central area of the city, and the area serves as a distribution and manufacturing base for the Greater Tokyo area and surroundings.
■The property has convenient access to National Route 16, a major orbital route serving the Greater Tokyo area (approximately 0.8 km), and National Route 4 (approximately 8.0 km), allowing it to serve delivery routes in all directions including not only Chiba Prefecture but also Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo.
■As connections onto the Tokyo Gaikan Expressway and Metropolitan Expressway are available from Kashiwa Interchange (approximately 10.4 km) via the Joban Expressway and Misato Junction, the facility is positioned as a potential wide area base serving the whole of the Greater Tokyo area.
■It can also serve as a relay station for the Tohoku region through its access onto the Tohoku Expressway via Iwatsuki Interchange (approximately 21 km).
■As the property is surrounded by a concentration of large scale logistics facilities, the risk of complaints or other frictions with the local community is low and 24 hour operation is an option.
■Additionally, the facility is on land elevated above the surroundings, and most of the site lies outside the flood risk zone shown on the hazard map of Noda City.
■In terms of recruitment, the closest bus stop is within walking distance and there are residential concentrations in the surroundings, which should make it easy to attract staff.
