TOKYO, Japan - August 11, 2014 - ORIX Corporation (TSE: 8591; NYSE: IX), a leading integrated financial services group, today announced that it has decided to develop a BTS*1 logistics facility in Hirakata, Osaka Prefecture.
The development area for this project is in an industrial park located approximately 3 km from the Hirakata-higashi and Hirakata Gakken interchanges on the Second Keihan Highway, and approximately 1.5 km from Nagao Station on the JR Katamachi Line. The location is suitable for deliveries to the Osaka and Kyoto areas, being located approximately 3 km from National Route 1, a major highway connecting Kyoto and Osaka. Moreover, from the business continuity planning perspective, the Kansai inland area is highly sought-after and considered scarce land resources suitable for logistics facility development.
The project includes a whole-building lease to OTT Logistics Co., Ltd. The five-story building (four stories in the warehouse section) will have a gross area of 20,398.12 m2 on a site of 10,629.36 m2. Construction will commence in September 2014, and is scheduled for completion in July 2015.
The ORIX Group's logistics investment business started in 2003, initially focused in the development of BTS facilities. From around 2008, utilizing its accumulated expertise, ORIX began shifting the business' primary focus to the development of multi-tenanted facilities*2. To date, ORIX has developed around 990,000 m2 of logistics facilities.
Going forward, ORIX will provide value added services that leverage its unique group network to differentiate itself, as it continues to operate logistics facility development projects that contribute to meeting market demand.
