2. Reason for Acquisition

As there have been constant changes to the operating environment surrounding real estate, such as widespread e-commerce and remote working due to the rapid advancement in information technologies, and the trend of mixed-use by area and by property, JMF aims to optimize its portfolio in response to such changes. To this end, JMF will continue to secure stable earnings on a medium to long term basis and ensure steady growth of operating assets by promoting carefully-screened investment in retail facilities, office buildings, residences, hotels, and mixed-use properties used for a combination of those purposes, located mainly in urban areas.

The Property of this acquisition is an urban mixed-use (retail and office) in accordance with the investment policy set forth by JMF, and is also part of the short to medium term asset replacement strategy.

The decision to acquire the Property has been made as it is a newly-built property close to Funabashi Station in Chiba Prefecture, attracting many inquiries from a variety of sectors, and thus highly competitive in terms of both the location and property specifications.

Also, while the acquisition environment for income-producing real estate has recently been becoming even more severe, acquisition by an arm's-length transaction has been realized as a result of building a relationship with the seller by leveraging the Asset Manager's own networks.

Highlight of acquisition

Acquisition by an arm's-length transaction of a newly-builtmixed-use property close to Funabashi Station, which is used by a large number of passengers

Location

  • Increased population is anticipated until 2030 in Funabashi City where the Property is located, and three redevelopment projects have been confirmed in the area surrounding the station. Accordingly, expansion in the scale of the market can be expected in the area.
  • The Property is located in front of Keisei Electric Railway's Keisei Funabashi Station and is also close to Funabashi Station on the JR and Tobu lines, with a two-minute walk. Passengers using these three stations total approximately 480,000 per day, which is one of the largest usage numbers in Chiba Prefecture. The Property also has good access to the center of Tokyo with an approximately 24- minute ride to Tokyo Station using the JR Sobu line rapid service.

  • The Property is located on the Station Road (Prefectural Road No. 39), which has an especially large flow of people among the areas around the South Exit of Funabashi Station where a flourishing livelihood market has been formed with a large number of commuters and students using the station. Therefore, there are high needs for increasing sales space and opening new stores from the surrounding areas.

Facility

  • It is a newly-built property completed in September 2021 with 10 floors above ground and one basement floor. Its appealing glass curtain wall design contributes to good visibility.
  • A total of nine floors, from the first to ninth floor, are available for tenants, ranging from drug stores to restaurants and service businesses. Due to its scale, specifications, and versatility, the Property can accommodate not only store tenants but also tenants with office needs.

Profitability

    • Due to acquisition by an arm's-length transaction, the Property has profitability that exceeds the portfolio average, with an NOI yield after depreciation of 3.6%.
