Hankyu Hanshin Begins Construction on Urban Logistics Hub in Kyoto’s Fushimi Ward
In May 2025, Hankyu Hanshin Properties commenced construction on “Logista Kyoto Fushimi,” a new logistics facility located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City. The four-story, box-type building will span a total floor area of approximately 3,400 tsubo (approx. 112,200 sq. ft.) and is slated for completion at the end of July 2026. Positioned close to Kyoto’s urban core, the facility is being developed as a last-mile delivery hub optimized for dense city logistics.
The site offers excellent connectivity, situated about 5.9 km from the Kyoto-Minami Interchange on the Meishin Expressway and 6.4 km from the Fushimi Interchange on the Daini Keihan Expressway. In addition to serving the broader Kansai region, the facility is expected to provide highly efficient access for last-mile distribution into central Kyoto. Development-ready plots of this scale—approximately 1,500 tsubo (approx. 49,600 sq. ft.)—are scarce in urban areas, enhancing the strategic value of the project.
The facility features a box-type design with ground-level berths and vertical conveyors. Warehouse specifications include a floor load capacity of 1.5 tons/sq. meter, a ceiling height of 5.5 meters, and column spacing of 11.6m by 11.3m, enabling flexible tenant operations. The building will also be outfitted with dedicated driver rest areas and employee lounges to support a comfortable working environment.
Hankyu Hanshin Properties has a track record of logistics development in the Kansai area, including projects such as Logista Kyoto Kamitoba and Logista Toyonaka. Located just 12 km from Kyoto’s city center, the Logista Kyoto Fushimi site offers a strong competitive edge for e-commerce and small-lot delivery operators.
The site, in the Kuga neighborhood of Fushimi Ward, is a mixed-use zone with both residential and quasi-industrial areas. With access to major roads such as the Meishin and Daini Keihan expressways, the area has already seen multiple mid-scale logistics developments and is regarded as having future potential for further expansion. The property is also in proximity to arterial roads including Kuga-bashi-dori and National Route 171, offering a transportation network well-suited to freight and trucking operations—an advantage likely to support tenant leasing.
