TOKYO, Japan - February 9, 2017 - ORIX Corporation ('ORIX') announced today that it began construction of the Hasuda Logistics Center in the city of Hasuda, Saitama Prefecture on January 27, 2017. Construction of the facility is scheduled for completion in the middle of February 2018, and ORIX has begun taking applications for tenant companies.

The Hasuda Logistics Center will be located about 5 km from the Kuki Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway, and about 3.6 km from the Shiraoka Shobu Interchange on the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway. It is a convenient location easily accessible by car from either interchange. Hasuda, where the facility will be located, is not only an advantageous logistic base to serve the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Tohoku region, with the Tohoku Expressway at its center; it is also an area that is expected to benefit significantly from the planned opening this month of the portion of the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway between Sakai-Koga and Tsukuba-Chuo, making it a suitable logistic area to cover both the entire Kanto region and eastern Japan. Additionally, the facility is accessible by public transportation, attracting part-time workers from a wide surrounding area.

The facility consists of a three-story aboveground facility with a floor area of 34,850.41 m, situated on a site with an area of 23,510.77 m. The first floor will have a total of 59 truck berths on two sides, and the site will be equipped with 20 standby spaces for 10-ton trucks and a parking lot for 80 standard passenger vehicles. As part of the facility's business continuity plan (BCP), it will also be equipped with an emergency generator, and LED lighting will be used for all lighting inside and outside the facility to enable tenant companies to reduce their electricity usage. A commercial warehouse can also be constructed on the site, and 24-hour operation will also be possible.

Going forward, ORIX will continue to develop state-of-the-art logistics facilities to meet the needs of evolving supply chain strategies and the rapid expansion of the e-commerce market in Japan.
