Tokyo's New Transport Solution: T-LOGI Yashio

Tokyo Building Corporation has announced plans for two state-of-the-art logistics facilities in Yashio, Saitama, to cater to the growing demand for efficient food storage and distribution. The first facility, T-LOGI Yashio, is set to commence construction in June 2026, with completion expected in August 2027. Alongside it, a second facility, T-LOGI Yashio II, is slated for completion in January 2029. Both projects aim to improve urban delivery capabilities and ease logistical constraints.

Strategic Location for Improved Efficiency

The T-LOGI Yashio site is strategically located just 3.3 km from the Yashio Minami interchange on the Shuto Expressway and 4.1 km from the Misato interchange. This advantageous positioning provides a crucial hub for last-mile delivery as well as long-distance transport, tackling the imminent shortage of long-haul truck drivers anticipated in 2024. It offers seamless access to major highways, facilitating both urban and broad-area deliveries effectively.

The facility's design prioritizes operational efficiency, featuring a unique single-building leasing model that allows for exceptional flexibility in warehouse layouts and enhanced security. With three levels dedicated to warehousing, the site boasts one freight elevator and two vertical conveyors to streamline the movement of goods across floors. With a total floor area of approximately 15,262 square meters, the logistics facility is equipped to handle diverse operations efficiently.

Moreover, there are 16 truck berths available for large vehicles and parking for 40 cars, catering to convenience for employees commuting and operating company trucks.

Creating a Comfortable Work Environment

T-LOGI Yashio aims to foster a productive work atmosphere, located conveniently within a 12-minute bus ride from both the Soka station on the Tobu Skytree Line and the Yashio station on the Tsukuba Express. Nearby, ample labor supply promises stable employment opportunities. Testing the commitment to employee comfort, a dedicated lounge on the fourth floor will feature 50 seats equipped with charging outlets, ideal for work and relaxation.

Commitment to Sustainability

Notably, the design aligns with eco-friendly practices. T-LOGI Yashio will integrate solar panels on its rooftop, producing renewable energy to support the building's power needs, reducing excess consumption. Additionally, plans are in place to achieve the highest rank in sustainability certification, known as the ZEB designation, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship in construction.

T-LOGI Yashio II: Frozen and Chilled Warehouse Capabilities

Meanwhile, T-LOGI Yashio II will complement its predecessor by focusing on refrigerated goods, featuring two temperature-controlled zones capable of reaching -25°C and adaptable storage settings. This facility's construction is set to begin in June 2027 and aims for completion in January 2029. Its strategic placement 3.9 km from the same expressways further enhances its capacity to respond to the needs of food e-commerce businesses and the retail sector.

As with T-LOGI Yashio, the facility will offer a range of features that cater to food distribution, including 21 dock shelters and designated refrigerated areas for efficient loading and unloading. Furthermore, employee lounges will also be available to support workforce welfare, with a layout designed to enhance productivity.
