Nakano Shokai recently released free resources that can help solve logistics real estate issues, such as effectively utilizing existing warehouses and reducing relocation costs.
<"Handbook for Adding Freezers and Refrigerators">
The first publicly available document is the "Freezer and Refrigerated Warehouse Expansion Handbook." This handbook provides a guide for expanding freezer and refrigerated warehouses at low cost by effectively utilizing existing warehouses. It explains in detail specific solutions, from the rapidly increasing demand to schedules, costs, internal environment, and compliance with legal regulations.
"5 Low-Cost Renovation Projects to Reduce Move-Out Costs Even After Occupancy" explains that for commercial properties, move-out costs tend to be high due to repairs for aging deterioration, damage to floors caused by forklifts, and removal or disposal of specialized equipment such as automated material handling systems. This document introduces five examples of low-cost renovations that can be undertaken even after occupancy and explains measures to reduce these often high move-out costs.
The "Recommended Warehouse List Brochure (August 2025)" features a list of recommended warehouse properties nationwide. In addition to frozen and refrigerated warehouses, it includes a wide range of properties to meet diverse needs, from 100 tsubo to 8000 tsubo, and properties that welcome short-term use.
The increasing need for temperature control in food, pharmaceuticals, and other products has led to a surge in demand for frozen and refrigerated warehouses. However, land acquisition and new construction costs are rising year by year, and according to the Japan Association of Building Cost Surveyors, construction costs increased by approximately 3-4% in 2015.
Nakano Shoji aims to provide businesses with this background with practical know-how to add new value to existing warehouses and solve challenges related to logistics real estate.
