Daibiru Corporation, a leading real estate development firm headquartered in Kita-ku, Osaka, has officially announced its participation in an innovative logistics real estate project. The company has entered into a contract to invest in a specified purpose company managed by Kasumigaseki Capital Co., Ltd. This strategic partnership marks Daibiru’s entry into the development of an automated frozen warehouse located in Minato-ku, Nagoya.
Strategic Location and Infrastructure Advantages
The proposed site for the warehouse is strategically situated approximately 3.3 km from the Meiko-chuo I.C. on the Isewangan Expressway and 4.7 km from the Tsukijiguchi I.C. on the Meishi Bypass. This prime location offers excellent accessibility for logistics operations across the greater Nagoya area. The area is already a hub for refrigerated and frozen storage facilities, making it an ideal location for this development. Additionally, the site’s proximity to Noseki Station on the Aonami Line enhances its appeal by providing easy access to labor resources.
Meeting Rising Demand for Frozen Storage Solutions
The development of this automated frozen warehouse comes in response to the growing demand for frozen food storage, driven by increasing consumer consumption and upcoming regulatory changes related to Japan’s fluorocarbon restrictions, set to take effect in 2030. The warehouse will feature state-of-the-art automated equipment designed to optimize space utilization, improve work efficiency, and reduce labor requirements.
Environmental Considerations and Technological Integration
Daibiru Corporation is committed to sustainability, and this project reflects that commitment. The warehouse will utilize natural refrigerants in its cooling systems, minimizing its environmental impact. The inclusion of automated systems not only enhances operational efficiency but also aligns with the company’s focus on developing environmentally friendly infrastructure.
Alignment with Daibiru’s Long-Term Strategic Vision
This project is a key component of Daibiru’s domestic business strategy focused on asset-type expansion, as outlined in the Daibiru Group Medium- to Long-Term Management Plan 2035, known as “BUILD NEXT.” The investment in this cold-chain logistics hub is expected to generate synergies with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Group, which specializes in logistics, particularly marine transportation.
As Daibiru continues to implement its “BUILD NEXT” strategy, the company remains dedicated to acquiring and developing high-grade real estate that meets the evolving needs of society and contributes to its long-term growth objectives.
