It offers efficient loading and unloading with double-sided berths*1 on the first floor that can simultaneously accommodate a total of 44 large trucks. Vertical conveyors and office space can be added to meet the diverse needs of tenant companies.
The facility will be 100% powered by electricity derived from renewable energy sources as an environmentally friendly logistics facility. A solar power system is installed on the roof under a power purchase agreement (PPA) model*2, and the power generated will be consumed on-site, and in the event of power shortages at night or due to weather conditions, ORIX Corporation will supply power with Non-Fossil Certificates (with tracking certification). Furthermore, ORIX Real Estate is committed to being environmentally friendly by acquiring CASBEE Certification for Buildings (New Construction) A and adopting LED lighting.
To date, ORIX Group has invested in and developed 45 logistics facilities, mainly in the Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka areas. The Group will continue to pursue an evolving supply chain strategy and the development of environmentally friendly logistics facilities.
