Palma Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Junichi Kimura; Securities Code: 3461) has agreed with Japan Post Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Japan Post") to deepen their collaboration and open new self-storage facilities at Chojabaru Post Office (Fukuoka Prefecture) and Shiraoka Post Office (Saitama Prefecture). This initiative brings the total number of self-storage businesses utilizing post office facilities, developed by Palma in collaboration with Japan Post, to seven locations nationwide.
■ Background of the Initiative
Following a capital alliance with Japan Post Capital Co., Ltd. in 2018, Palma has been planning and proposing to Japan Post the maximization of existing asset value and the creation of new revenue sources by repurposing spaces and facilities with latent value into self-storage. This contributes to new value creation through the effective utilization of real estate assets owned by the Japan Post Group.
As part of this, we are promoting initiatives to improve the value of existing assets and create new revenue opportunities by repurposing idle spaces within post office facilities as self-storage units.
Similar initiatives have already been deployed in post office facilities in Fukuoka, Tochigi, Okinawa, Chiba, and Hokkaido, and this project is part of their continuous expansion.
■ Palma's Offerings
In this initiative, Palma will provide the following integrated functions:
・Support for opening self-storage facilities
・Rent payment guarantee service
・Collection agency and operation support (BPO)
Through these integrated services covering "development, guarantee, and operation," Palma will contribute to the stable operation and maximization of revenue for Japan Post's self-storage business.
■ Planned New Facility Openings
Shiraoka Post Office (941-1 Sendano, Shiraoka City, Saitama Prefecture) Opening scheduled: July 2026
Chojabaru Post Office (2-2-1 Chojabaru Higashi, Kasuya-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture) Opening scheduled: July 2026
Planned new post office facilities (blue circle)
■ Future Outlook
Japan Post possesses numerous locations nationwide, and we recognize this initiative as a project with significant growth potential through future horizontal expansion.
For Palma, this is not merely an individual project but is positioned as an important initiative aimed at establishing the self-storage business as a social infrastructure.
Furthermore, we will promote the sophistication of our collaborative model with Japan Post, including the possibility of developing new services such as collaboration with logistics services (Yu-Pack) and the utilization of parking lots and former office spaces.
Palma intends to use this initiative as a model case and expand its future development.
