Osaka Gas Urban Development Co., Ltd. announced that it commenced construction on June 1, 2026, for the "Takatsuki Logistics Facility Project" (tentative name), a multi-tenant logistics facility located in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture. This project is the company's second logistics development, following the "MFLP-OGUD Osaka Torishima" project, and marks its first solo logistics development venture. Located in Takatsuki City, a logistics hub between Osaka and Kyoto, the facility is capable of handling both regional and wide-area distribution. It offers excellent access to three major highway interchanges: the Takatsuki IC on the Meishin/Shin-Meishin Expressway (approx. 6.7 km), the Ibaraki IC on the Meishin Expressway (approx. 9.3 km), and the Settsu-Kita IC on the Kinki Expressway (approx. 6.7 km). Furthermore, the site is located in a densely populated area with access via bus from JR Takatsuki Station and Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station (approx. 20 minutes), ensuring a favorable environment for securing human resources. The facility is a four-story, box-type multi-tenant dry warehouse with a total floor area of approximately 6,800 tsubo. It is designed to accommodate various needs, from single-tenant to multi-tenant configurations, and allows for the future addition of vertical conveyors. Additionally, the first floor features indoor berths on the north and east sides capable of accommodating 18 trucks, enhancing transport efficiency compared to standard warehouses. To promote a comfortable working environment, the facility includes a common lounge with an unmanned convenience store and a powder corner in the women's restroom. It also features a driver's break room and a private park for relaxation, supporting recruitment efforts. The site includes 37 parking spaces for both public transport and car commuters. The project aims to obtain environmental certifications such as "Nearly ZEB," "CASBEE Rank A," and "DBJ Green Building Certification." It also incorporates rooftop solar panels to supply renewable energy. For BCP, emergency generators are installed on the roof to mitigate flood risks and provide backup power during outages, alongside an on-site disaster stockpile warehouse.
