GLP J-REIT to Acquire Three Logistics Facilities for JPY 40.7 Billion
GLP J-REIT announced on July 15, 2026, that it will acquire three logistics facilities located in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture; Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture; and Hiroshima City. The properties are "Marq Joso 2," "ALFALINK Ibaraki 2," and "Marq Hiroshima 2," with a total planned acquisition price of JPY 40.722 billion. All three were developed by the sponsor group, and the acquisition is scheduled for August 3.
"Marq Joso 2," completed in 2022, is a two-story build-to-suit logistics facility leased in its entirety by Muroo Co., Ltd. Located near the Joso Interchange on the Ken-O Expressway, the facility supports three temperature zones—frozen, chilled, and ambient—and is equipped with automated racking warehouses and material-handling equipment, serving as a wide-area distribution hub for food logistics.
"ALFALINK Ibaraki 2," completed in 2024, rises four stories above ground and is located approximately 6 km from the Suita Junction. It is currently leased in its entirety by Trancom Co., Ltd. as a logistics hub for the Kansai region, but features ramps connecting to the 1st and 2nd floors, allowing it to be used as a multi-tenant facility in the future.
"Marq Hiroshima 2," completed in 2023, is a five-story multi-tenant logistics facility that can be divided into four units of approximately 3,000 tsubo (approx. 106,700 sq. ft.) each. It is located approximately 2 km from both the Kannon and Yoshijima Interchanges on the Hiroshima Expressway Route 3. Two tenants, including Futaba Unyu Co., Ltd., occupy the building, which has a 100% occupancy rate. The facility features ramps connecting to the 1st and 3rd floors and drop-off berths that streamline loading and unloading.
The combined appraisal value of the three properties is JPY 44.1 billion, with the planned acquisition price approximately 7.7% below that figure. GLP J-REIT exercised a right of first negotiation obtained through a bridge scheme. Each property incorporates a CPI-linked rent clause, and the REIT expects to see revenue growth from rising rents. Following the acquisition, the portfolio will total approximately JPY 912.3 billion on an acquisition price basis, with the three properties accounting for approximately 4.5% of the total.
