CRE’s Large-Scale Logistics Facility “LogiSquare Nagoya Minato” Completed, Reaching 75% Pre-Leasing
CRE, Inc. has completed its large-scale logistics facility “LogiSquare Nagoya Minato” on December 31, 2025. The property is located in Oe-cho, Minato Ward, Nagoya City, and is a four-story, multi-tenant logistics facility with a gross floor area of approximately 15,121 tsubo (approx. 541,000 sq. ft.). Prior to completion, CRE secured lease agreements with multiple tenants, achieving a pre-leasing rate of approximately 75%.
The facility is situated about 1.8 km from the Kiba Interchange on the Nagoya Expressway Route 4 (Tokai Line). From the interchange, it is approximately 6 km to the Tokai Junction, which connects to the Shin-Tomei and Shin-Meishin Expressways, providing strong access not only within the Chubu region but also to eastern and western Japan, making it well suited as a wide-area distribution hub. The property is also located about 16 km from the Nagoya Port Tobishima Pier North Container Terminal and approximately 32 km from Chubu Centrair International Airport, offering favorable conditions for import and export cargo logistics.
The surrounding area is zoned as an industrial-only district that allows 24-hour operations. In addition, Minato Ward and Minami Ward together have a population of approximately 270,000, providing a solid labor pool and supporting workforce availability.
The facility offers strong logistics specifications, including a floor load capacity of 1.5 tons per square meter (capable of supporting 2.5-ton forklifts), effective ceiling heights of 5.5 meters or more, and average lighting levels of at least 250 lux. Truck loading bays are provided on the first and third floors, with a ramp allowing large vehicles to directly access the third floor. The building is equipped with cargo elevators (rated load 4.1 tons), with four units serving floors 1–2 and four units serving floors 3–4, enabling subdivision for up to four tenants. From an environmental perspective, the property has obtained BELS 6-Star certification, CASBEE (New Construction) Rank A, and ZEB Ready certification.
In Aichi Prefecture, several large-scale logistics facilities were completed in 2025, including “MFLP Ichinomiya” (Mitsui Fudosan, approx. 20,000 tsubo), “Landport Tokai Obu I” (Nomura Real Estate Development, approx. 75,000 tsubo), and “LOGIFRONT Nagoya Minato” (Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate and Toyota Home). LogiSquare Nagoya Minato represents another addition to this wave of new supply. The 75% pre-leasing rate prior to completion highlights the resilient tenant demand for newly built logistics facilities in prime locations.
