Kawasaki City, Japan: Real estate company GLP Japan is to develop what will be one of Japan’s largest multi-tenant refrigerated and frozen cold stores.
The five-storey, 205,000m2 refrigerated and frozen logistics site, based in Kawasaki City, is called GLP Kawasaki II.
It will have three temperature zones and a capacity of about 176,000 tonnes.
Around 66% of the total rentable floor space within the warehouse will be used for freezing and refrigeration, with some variable temperature zones that can be set between -25 and 10°C.
In addition, a room temperature zone will be installed to accommodate three temperature zones, allowing customers to use the warehouse according to their temperature needs. Up to 35 tenants will be able to store their goods at the wareshouse, with the smallest zone being around 2,600m2.
In 2016, GLP Japan launched a specialised team for refrigeration and freezing, and has built 30 refrigerated and frozen logistics warehouses to date.
Construction is scheduled to begin in March 2025 and be completed at the end of August 2027.
From 2013 to 2023, the market for frozen food in Japan has been growing steadily, reaching an average annual growth rate of 2.5%, with the overall market growth increasing by 27.6% during the same period.
