Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation Acquires Two Logistics Properties from the Yamato Group

Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation Acquires Two Logistics Properties from the Yamato Group

On March 19, 2026, Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation acquired two logistics properties from YAMATO TRANSPORT CO., LTD. and Yamato Auto Works Co.,Ltd. The total acquisition price was JPY 3.1 billion. This marks the first CRE transaction between the investment corporation and the Yamato Group, one of Japan’s leading logistics groups.

The acquired assets are IIF Nagoya Logistics Center II in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, acquired for JPY 1.5 billion, and IIF Shizuoka Susono Logistics Center in Susono, Shizuoka Prefecture, acquired for JPY 1.6 billion. Both properties were acquired on the premise that the existing tenants would vacate as part of the Yamato Group’s consolidation of operational bases. Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation plans to carry out renovation work and attract new tenants. After the renovations, the expected NOI yields are 5.6% for the Nagoya property and 6.6% for the Susono property.

In March 2025, the Yamato Group also transferred four properties, including its headquarters building, through sale-and-leaseback transactions. The sale of these logistics facilities is therefore seen as part of its asset-light strategy aimed at improving capital efficiency. As major operating companies such as Nissan, Sapporo Holdings, and Honda continue to sell real estate, acquisition opportunities for high-quality assets are increasing for J-REITs. Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation intends to use this acquisition as an opportunity to build a network with the Yamato Group and expand future CRE transactions.
