New Logistics Facility on the Horizon: LOGIFRONT Nagoya Moriyama

Nippon Steel Kowa Realty Corporation, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has officially started construction on the (tentative) LOGIFRONT Nagoya Moriyama, marking the second project in the LOGIFRONT series for the Chubu region. Scheduled for completion by the end of January 2027, this logistics facility is set to revolutionize the transport landscape in Nagoya.

Prime Location for Business

The LOGIFRONT Nagoya Moriyama is strategically located in Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, approximately 5 km from the Kachigawa interchange on the Nagoya Second Ring Expressway. With a population of over two million, Nagoya provides a bustling urban environment, ensuring convenient access for businesses. Commuting is made easier as it takes only 16 minutes by train from Nagoya Station to Shin Moriyama Station, followed by a 14-minute walk to the facility.

Facility Design and Features

Emphasizing safety and efficiency, the facility's design incorporates separate entry points for large vehicles, standard vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. The structure will be a four-story box-type building featuring dual-sided loading bays on the first floor, optimized for versatility allowing for use in up to four sections. Moreover, the exterior will utilize metal insulated sandwich panels that boast excellent insulation, seismic resistance, and aesthetic appeal, all in a monochromatic design.

The facility will include four elevators and vertical conveyors dedicated to goods, ensuring ample capacity for transporting items between floors, catering to the demands of modern logistics operations.

Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

As part of its pledge to environmental stewardship, the LOGIFRONT Nagoya Moriyama will integrate NSCarbolex(R) Neutral—a green steel product from Nippon Steel Corporation—utilizing a mass balance approach. This innovative solution will minimize CO2 emissions during the steel production and construction phases. The facility will also employ the NSCarbolex(R) Solution, an architectural solution that incorporates high-functionality materials designed for efficient construction.

In addition, Nippon Steel Kowa Realty has previously embraced sustainability initiatives, including the installation of solar power systems and the use of LED lighting throughout its logistics facilities. Its commitment has led to achievements such as obtaining the CASBEE New Construction (A rank) certification, indicating a strong focus on eco-friendly development. As demand for environmentally conscious facilities continues to rise, Nippon Steel Kowa Realty remains committed to exploring new strategies that align with its sustainability goals.

Broader Logistics and Industrial Development

The establishment of the LOGIFRONT Nagoya Moriyama reflects Nippon Steel Kowa Realty’s broader strategy, initiated in April 2018, to develop logistics facilities as a core business alongside building and housing projects. With flagship sites such as LOGIFRONT Koshigaya I and LOGIFRONT Amagasaki II, the company aims to meet the evolving needs of its clientele by creating state-of-the-art logistics solutions in the Tokyo, Chubu, and Kinki regions.

Future endeavors aim to cover various industrial real estate requirements, ranging from cold storage warehouses to R&D facilities, data centers, and industrial apartments, demonstrating the company's commitment to supporting the growth of diverse industries.
