Accessibility

LF Kazo is located approximately 5.1 km from the Hanyu interchange and 5.8 km from the Kazo interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. This strategic location on the expressway offers excellent access the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, providing convenient transportation links for wide-area deliveries. In addition, its proximity to  the Kazo Otone Industrial Park allows for 24-hour operations. From an employment perspective, there are approximately 290,000 workers within a 30-minute radius of LF Kazo.

Features of the Facility

LF Kazo is a two story, box-type logistics facility with a total floor area of 27,000 sqm. It has a pillar span of 11 m (frontage) x 10.5 m (depth), an effective height of 5.5 m under the warehouse beams, a floor load capacity of 1.5 t/m sqm and is equipped with four cargo lifts and vertical conveyors. 

Tenants can lease the entire building or as two units, with the structure designed without bracing to allow for a high degree of flexibility in tenant layout. Taking advantage of the generous building-to-land ratio throughout the project, a highly circuitous track flow around the perimeter of the facility was created. There are 107 parking spaces, with 14 large vehicle waiting spaces that can be expanded. The facility has sufficient electrical capacity to accommodate the installation of air-conditioning throughout the warehouse.
