Purpose
The site with a land area of approx. 36,000 sqm will be developed into a multi-tenant logistics facility with a single rampway. This project, which is tentatively named "LF Yatabe Project", is targeted for completion in January 2025.
Located at the junction of the Joban Expressway and the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway (Ken-O Expressway), Tsukuba City is an ideal spot both as a wide-area distribution center serving the entire metropolitan area as well as a regional distribution center for Ibaraki Prefecture. The city's steady population growth also provides a sustained and favourable employment environment while its low risk of flooding, liquefaction, and landslides make it an excellent location from a business continuity standpoint. These favourable conditions reinforce Cushman & Wakefield’s commitment to develop another large-scale, advanced facility following its "LF Tsukuba Development Project (tentative name)," which is currently under development.
Development Site Features
The subject property is located approx. 2 km from Midorino Station on the Tsukuba Express, offering excellent commuting convenience. It is also approx. 6 km and 10 km from the Yatabe and Yawara interchanges on the Joban Expressway, respectively, and approx. 7 km from the Tsukuba Chuo interchange on the Ken-O Expressway. The accessible transportation network facilitates convenient deliveries within Ibaraki Prefecture as well as to central Tokyo and the entire Kanto region. This accessibility is expected to be further improved in the near future, with the establishment of the "Tsukubamirai" smart interchange (tentative name) on Joban Expressway and the "Tsukuba" smart interchange (tentative name) on Ken-O Expressway.
Yoshiyuki Tanaka, Senior Executive Director, Cushman & Wakefield Asset Management said,
“Cushman & Wakefield Asset Management is delighted to have the opportunity to develop its second logistics facility in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture. The Tsukuba area is located at the nexus of the Joban and Ken-O Expressways, and has been attracting an increasing number of logistics companies in recent years. We are proud to be able to contribute to the diverse logistics needs in the area and will continue to seek out opportunities in the broader Ibaraki Prefecture and across Japan. Furthermore, with the growing focus on Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) initiatives, we have embedded core ESG principles in the investment and development of our high-quality facilities.”
