On February 2nd, Mitsui Fudosan began construction of the "(tentative name) Mito Logi Center," a build-to-suit (BTS) logistics facility exclusively for Logisteed East Japan, in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Completion is scheduled for September 2027.

The facility will be a five-story building with a total floor area of approximately 125,223.38 square meters. The entire building will be air-conditioned and will include a refrigerated area (approximately 5°C) designed for handling precision equipment, as well as areas with anti-static measures.
The design includes features such as a 7.5m effective clearance under beams on some floors, allowing for the installation of large material handling equipment. The consolidation of multiple Logisteed East Japan locations will improve operational efficiency.

Located within the Katsuta Second Industrial Park, close to JR Joban Line's Katsuta Station, it is ideally situated for wide-area distribution to the Tokyo metropolitan area and the East Japan region. In the Hitachinaka area, where major manufacturing plants are concentrated, it functions as a logistics hub playing a central role in the supply chain.
Other features of the facility include the ability to supply renewable energy through solar power generation equipment, as well as environmental considerations such as the use of LED lighting indoors. The facility is also scheduled to obtain ZEB certification and a CASBEE rating of A or higher for new constructions.
To create a more comfortable working environment, plans include a spacious entrance and a cozy break area.
