GIC acquires premier logistics facility in Yokohama, Japan
Global investment firm GIC has further strengthened its portfolio with the acquisition of a high-quality logistics facility in Yokohama, Japan. Situated in the Kanagawa Prefecture within the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area, the asset boasts an advantageous location that provides seamless access to the entire region.
This acquisition encompasses a flagship logistics facility developed by Daiwa House Industry, a leading Japanese real estate developer. The four-floor property, completed in 2022, spans over 126,000 square meters and stands as one of Daiwa House’s largest developments. Fully occupied, the facility features modern specifications suited for various tenants, including seismic-base isolation for enhanced earthquake resistance.
Designed with community engagement in mind, the facility includes amenities such as an open deck space, a convenience store, and a café. These features are available to both the facility’s workers and nearby residents, reflecting Daiwa House’s commitment to integrating social aspects into its developments.
This recent purchase follows GIC’s 2023 acquisition spree of Daiwa House-developed logistics facilities throughout Japan. In the previous year, GIC acquired a portfolio of six warehouses in various Japanese cities, including Yatomi (Greater Nagoya), Takatsuki (Greater Osaka), and Tosu (Greater Fukuoka).
GIC’s continued investment in Japan underscores its strong commitment to the country’s real estate sector. With a focus on logistics, GIC anticipates sustained demand for modern logistics spaces, driven by trends in e-commerce and supply chain optimization. Operating in Japan for over 30 years, GIC remains dedicated to seeking out investment opportunities across diverse sectors in both public and private markets.
