With these new projects, Mitsui Fudosan’s logistics business has a total of 40 properties under development or in operation, with 26 completed properties in operation, occupying a total floor area of approx. 2.2 million m2, 12 under development, including the above-mentioned 5 properties, and 2 overseas, for an overall total floor area of 3.6 million m2. From the start of the business in April 2012, cumulative investment is projected to reach approx. ¥570 billion.

MFLP Funabashi II and the adjoining facility MFLP Funabashi &GATE were completed in October 2019, having been developed as the phase II plan for a town creation-type logistic park in the Funabashi area. MFLP Funabashi II has an exterior design with a “sea” motif, giving it an affinity with the exterior of MFLP Funabashi I, which was designed around the concept of “sky.” Measures to increase the satisfaction of facility employees include enhanced common spaces such as the MINAMO Lounge and the Sky Deck, which have ocean views, as well as air conditioning for the inside of the warehouse. Inside the facility, high level internal security uses security gates and a facial recognition system. The logistics facility is also equipped with top level BCP facilities, such as a seismic resistant structure to reduce damage from earthquakes and emergency power generators to continue supplying electricity for 72 hours.

Inside MFLP Funabashi &GATE, a logistics ICT showroom, MFLP ICT LABO 2.0, is scheduled to start operations in February 2020, exhibiting fully automated logistics models with automated logistics operations flows for everything from receiving to shipping. MFLP ICT LABO 2.0 has around 10 times the floor area of the MFLP ICT LABO that operated previously in MFLP Funabashi I, and the number of logistics equipment units on display is planned to be more than double. For the fully automated logistics model in the exhibition, state-of-the-art ICT equipment has been selected in every field and a warehouse management system (WMS) will be built from scratch to control the warehouse and adjust the processing capability and start-up speed of all each piece of equipment. The flow of cargo unaided by human hands can be viewed from the point at which the truck container products are carried out to the point at which they are loaded. This fully-automated logistics model is designed to attract customers and strengthen the Company’s ability to propose solutions that are tailored more closely to their needs.

Furthermore, under the town creation-type logistics park phase III plan for the Funabashi area, the Company has started development of MLFP Funabashi III and Green Space. MFLP Funabashi III is the largest development in the Company’s history, with a total floor area of 268,400 m2, with construction starting in September 2019 and scheduled for completion in June 2021. The green space that is planned for completion at the same time as MFLP Funabashi III will cover approx. 20,000 m2 and serve as a new symbol of the town and an interaction space for the community. This will complete MFLP Funabashi, a town creation-type project with a total area of 700,000 m2.

The Company has decided to invite a skating rink operator into Green Space. A double skating rink will be installed, comprising an International Skating Union standard 60 m × 30 m A rink and a B rink to serve as a practice area, thereby providing a skating rink with an enhanced practice environment. The Company is also examining tie-ups with its facilities in the surrounding area, aiming to further vitalize the Funabashi area. and achieve neighborhood creation that will get better and better with age. Details of this skating rink will be disclosed in a news release planned for a later date.
