The 24,459-square-meter Shiroi Logistics Center, which is under construction in Chiba, will be sold by JA Mitsui Leasing Tatemono Co. Ltd. at a date yet to be determined by both parties.

The company said it will use its cash on hand to fund the deal with Sumitomo, while it has yet to decide on the financing method for the transaction with JA Mitsui.

The new loan carries a fixed interest rate of 0.29000% and will be due Feb. 28, 2022.

As of Feb. 21, US$1 was equivalent to ¥107.72.
