On September 30, Japan Asia Investment announced that it had resolved to acquire 60% of the outstanding shares of KIC Holdings (KIC HD) in January 2026 (acquisition price: 200 million yen), making it a subsidiary.
KIC HD is a logistics facility development company, and recently, it has been leveraging its expertise to develop data center facilities. The data center facility currently under development is a large-scale project with one of the largest power receiving capacities in Japan, and the construction costs for the data center facility are expected to reach approximately 220 billion yen by the end of December 2029, including land acquisition, site preparation, and building construction.
Furthermore, KIC Asset Management (KIC AM), a subsidiary of KIC HD, holds licenses for financial instruments trading and other related businesses, and is engaged in asset management of logistics facilities, advisory services, and securitization.
Through the acquisition of KIC HD as a subsidiary, Japan Asia Investment aims to acquire data center project opportunities and development know-how, which is a key investment area, and to expand stable asset management revenue by utilizing the licenses held by KIC AM to form a real estate fund in the future.
Up until now, Japan Asia Investment had been supporting KIC HD's growth by making venture investments in it. However, as KIC HD has begun developing a large-scale data center facility with one of the largest power receiving capacities in Japan, which is a key investment area for Japan Asia Investment, and as KIC AM's licenses for financial instruments business and other related fields will be necessary in order to form a fund that invests in real estate in the future, Japan Asia Investment has decided to acquire additional shares of KIC HD and make it a subsidiary.
