### Branch Manager's Perspective

The first quarter of 2026 marks the peak of this year's supply, with two large buildings, "The Landmark Nagoya Sakae" and "Sakae Torid Square," completed in March. Three more large buildings are scheduled for completion this year, and tenant attraction is generally progressing smoothly. Even for buildings under construction scheduled for completion in 2027, more than a year away, tenant commitments are advancing, indicating a pre-emptive demand.

### Nagoya City All-Size Buildings Vacancy Rate & Potential Vacancy Rate

Vacancy Rate Declines for 4 Consecutive Months, "Meieki" in the 1% Range for the First Time Since March 2020

The vacancy rate decreased by 0.08 points from the previous month to 3.03%, marking a decline for the fourth consecutive month. It is approaching the 2% range for the first time since June 2020. Vacancies are being absorbed primarily in new and recently built buildings in major areas, driven by expansions within existing buildings and relocations aimed at improving building grades. By area, "Meieki" saw its vacancy rate drop to the 1% range for the first time since March 2020. The potential vacancy rate was 4.92%, a decrease of 0.06 points from the previous month.

While office demand continues to be active, the shortage of new and recently built buildings in major areas is becoming even more pronounced.
