Credo Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Noritaka Shioda) held a groundbreaking ceremony today for its large-scale logistics facility, 'CREDO Noda,' currently under development in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture.
With a total floor area exceeding 120,000 square meters, this project is the largest logistics facility developed and managed by the company to date, with completion scheduled for the end of January 2028. The facility has already received multiple inquiries from food, apparel, and retail-related companies, as well as logistics firms, who have highly rated its capability for single-floor operations, specifications for cold storage needs, and high storage efficiency. Amidst a trend of suppressed new supply of logistics facilities due to rising construction costs, the company is advancing the development of this facility as a major logistics hub capable of wide-area distribution for the Tokyo metropolitan area and Eastern Japan.
Located along National Route 16 in Noda City, 'CREDO Noda' offers excellent access to the Joban Expressway (Kashiwa IC) and the Tohoku Expressway (Iwatsuki IC), making it an ideal location for both city-center and wide-area distribution. Furthermore, road improvements allow for truck access from both the Kashiwa and Kasukabe directions, making it a valuable hub for wide-area distribution covering Eastern Japan.
The facility secures vast floor spaces with a maximum of 8,076 tsubo per floor. Such facilities capable of large-scale single-floor operations along National Route 16 in Chiba Prefecture are rare, enabling large and efficient logistics operations. Additionally, by setting the minimum block size at approximately 900 tsubo, the facility can flexibly accommodate smaller-scale users, with up to 26 tenants.
The facility adopts a double ramp-way system, allowing direct access to every floor from 1st to 4th. By ensuring a 6-meter ceiling height on the 1st floor, it guarantees an effective height of 5.5 meters even for cold storage use and is designed to accommodate the necessary power demand for such operations. The 2nd and 3rd floors can be provided as air-conditioned spaces, and the 4th floor achieves high storage efficiency with a maximum ceiling height of 6.9 meters.
The site includes parking for 329 passenger vehicles and 35 truck waiting spaces, as well as a truck berth area where vehicle storage certificates can be obtained. To enhance convenience and comfort for facility users, two employee cafeterias will be established (north and south), along with a break room exclusively for truck drivers equipped with shower facilities.
Regarding transportation, buses run several times an hour to the nearest bus stop from 'Kawama Station' on the Tobu Urban Park Line, providing an 8-minute walk from the nearest stop, ensuring a convenient commute.
