2. Reason for Acquisition

We believe that the properties are appropriate to the basic policy for the asset management set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Investment Corporation and the management policy of the


Investment Corporation. We decided to acquire the properties because we appreciate the rarity and the profitability of the properties.

Ⅰ. Honshu Meieki Building (1) Location of the Property:

The property is located within about a 6-minute walk from Exit 7 of the JR and Nagoya city metro Nagoya Station and a 2-minute walk from the underground doorway which leads to the Nagoya station underground shopping arcade. The “Meieki” area which the property is located, is a hub for number of railroads, including JR, Nagoya city metro (Higashiyama-line and Sakuradori-line), Nagoya Railroad and Kintetsu, therefore the area has good traffic convenience. Business accumulation is growing year by year with large scale redevelopments and currently the area is the highest business accumulation zone within the Nagoya city. A number of large scale building replacement plans are underway which is revitalizing the demands for relocation. For such area, the office needs are high for bases, head/branch offices and sales branches which cover the Tokai area and demands are seen from offices, schools and cram schools which expect visitors and students utilizing the Nagoya Station as a base. In view of the rent level and good traffic convenience, relocation needs from other office areas of Nagoya city can be expected at the perimeter of the property. Therefore the Investment Corporation expects a stable management of the property after the Acquisition.

(2) Building Facilities: The property is provided with 12 stories above ground, the total floor area of 10,416.96 ㎡

(3,151.13 tsubo), 637.73 ㎡(192.91 tsubo) of standard floor space, 2,700mm of ceiling height for a standard floor (75mm of OA floor) and sufficient spec such as individual air-conditioning and crime-prevention system on each floor. Since the property is a young building, it can be assumed of its competitiveness compared to other medium scale buildings around the property.

Ⅱ. Kamiooka Eye Mark Building (1) Location of the Property:

The property is located within about a 1-minute walk from the Kamiooka Station on Keikyu Line and Yokohama Municipal Subway. Kamiooka area is the area where public service, stores,

businesses and culture centers gather as the center in Konan-ku which is located in the Southern part

of Yokohama City. The area around the Kamiooka Station is designated as the subcenter of Yokohama

City. “Super limited express train” and “limited express train” make stops at the Keikyu Line “Kamiooka

Station” and is convenient to go to terminal areas such as 9 minutes to Yokohama Station and

26minutes to Shinagawa Station. The bus terminal adjacent to Kamiooka Station is large in size within

the Southern part of Yokohama City and has good access to transportation.

There is a characteristic of a unique office demand from companies providing services for local residents around Kamiooka Station (banks, cram schools, travel agents, clinics and etc.). We consider that the property will maintain high competitive edge and contribute to our portfolio profitability in the future because of its regional characteristic and a rare condition of being situated in front of the station.


(2) Building Facilities:

The property is provided with 7 stories above ground and 3 below, the total floor area of 3,755.36㎡(1,135.99 tsubo), 381.96 ㎡(115.54 tsubo) of standard floor space, 2,700mm of ceiling height for a standard floor (100mm of OA floor) and sufficient spec such as individual air-conditioning and crime-prevention system on each floor. Since the property is the young building built in May 2011, it can be assumed of its competitiveness compared to other medium scale buildings around the property.
