  1. Reasons for Acquisition

1. Location

The Asset to be Acquired (the "Property") is located in the Shiroishi area of Sapporo City. It is approximately 0.3km to the Sapporo Interchange on Do-O Expressway and approximately 7.0km to the center of the City. Do-O Expressway is a major transportation artery that connects Hokkaido's major cities from north to south via Sapporo City, namely a Hokkaido's largest city, New Chitose Airport, a gateway to Hokkaido by air and sea, and Tomakomai Port.

The Shiroishi area facilitates broad distributions to the Sapporo metropolitan area (Otaru City, Tomakomai City, etc.) via the Sapporo Interchange. Also, owing to its excellent convenience for local deliveries to the surrounding area of the Property, including the center of Sapporo City, the area has become a hub of logistics facilities.

The Property is suitable for a 24/7 operation. Moreover, as commuting by car is common in Sapporo City and it provides an easy car access for commuters, the Property is advantageous to secure a labor force.

2. Building, etc.

The Property is a logistics facility completed in September 1998 with 4 floors above ground (3 stories with raised floor for warehouse areas). The total leasable area is about 7,400m2, which is relatively large for the Shiroishi area. With an effective ceiling height of 6.8m, a floor load of approximately 0.6t/m2 to 1.4t/m2, a standard column span of 8.75m x 9m and 13 truck berths installed, it has highly versatile specifications. In addition, there are 3 elevators for freight (for maximum load capacity of 1t: 1 unit, 3t: 2 units) and 1 vertical transfer machine. The specifications are highly appealing to both multi-tenants and single tenants. There are 16 parking spaces for cars and 1 parking space for people with disabilities, all of which are available for employees.

3. Tenants, etc.

The current tenant who is engaged in logistics business, etc. has been renting the entire building. Demand from logistics tenants is robust in the Shiroishi area which includes the Property. Considering the Property's competitive advantage, a wide range of tenants' needs including shippers and 3PL operators are expected for the Property and its stable operation is expected over the years to come.
