Additional Acquisition of GRAND FRONT OSAKA
Grand Front Osaka is a large-scale mixed-use complex representing Osaka, directly connected to JR Osaka Station and located in close proximity to Osaka Umeda Station on the Hankyu, Hanshin lines and Umeda Station on the Osaka Metro lines. Currently, JPR holds a 4.9% co-ownership interest. As a result of this additional 4.6% co-ownership interest acquisition, from the sponsor, Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd. (the "Sponsor"), JPR's co-ownership interest will increase to 9.5%.
GRAND FRONT OSAKA (Umekita Plaza and South Building) comprises Umekita Plaza, which is mainly composed of commercial establishments, and the South Building that houses offices and retail facilities. GRAND FRONT OSAKA (North Building) houses not only offices and commercial facilities but also a hotel and Knowledge Capital, a hub for industry-academia collaboration.
The Umekita area where the property is located is positioned as the core project in Osaka City's growth strategy hub special zone initiative and was developed with a view to enhancing the Kansai metropolitan area's international competitiveness. The opening of the adjacent Grand Green Osaka and other nearby developments has further increased the area's competitiveness.

Acquisition of FUNDES Kamata
JPR will acquire from the Sponsor, an urban commercial property located 1-minute from Kamata Station on the JR Keihin Tohoku Line, the Tokyu Ikegami line and Tokyu Tamagawa line, facing the station rotary with excellent convenience and visibility.
The area around Kamata Station East Exit features a concentration of public transportation and administrative functions, and, driven by station users, retail, dining and various service establishments are actively used, giving the area strong commercial vitality.
The ten-story building houses restaurants on the lower floors and service tenants and clinics on the upper floors, enabling it to meet the needs of a broad customer base.
-
Acquisition of Hotel Gracery Asakusa
JPR will acquire from the Sponsor, a limited-service hotel located in Asakusa, the major tourist destination in Tokyo. In addition, this will be JPR's first acquisition of a hotel from the Sponsor.
The property is favorably located, a 2-minute walk from Toei Subway Asakusa Line "Asakusa" Station, a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Ginza Line "Asakusa" Station, and within walking distance to Kaminarimon Gate and the main hall of Sensoji Temple beyond, offering extremely high accessibility as a tourist hub.
The hotel comprises 125 rooms (86 double rooms and 39 twin rooms) in total, and JPR expects the hotel to continue to actively capture inbound tourism demand going forward.
The hotel operator, Fujita Kanko Inc. operates 60 facilities both in Japan and abroad and provides services that draw on its extensive operating track record and know-how.
-
Sales of JPR Yokohama Nihon Odori Bldg. and Minami Azabu Bldg. (the "Properties to Be Sold")
All Properties to Be Sold are over 30 years old. A comprehensive consideration of building age, tenant composition and the resulting possibility of a decline in profitability in future and other factors has led to the conclusion that selling the properties at a timing coinciding with the acquisition of high-quality properties from the Sponsor will better contribute to the construction of a stronger and more resilient portfolio.
