Tokyo: Tokyo Bay
built 276 days ago
The new park will be located on a vacant, 6-acre waterfront parcel on the east side of Tokyo Bay, approximately midway between downtown Tokyo and Narita International Airport. The property was acquired earlier this year from Renown, a Japanese manufacturer and distributor of textiles and apparel. In a related transaction, ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II acquired an adjacent, 1.1-million-square-foot (103,300-square-meter) industrial warehouse from Renown, which has been renamed ProLogis Parc Narashino II. Renown continues to operate that building, under a long-term lease with ProLogis, as its primary distribution center in Japan.

On September 1, 1923, just before noon, an earthquake of magnitude 8.3 occurred near the densely populated, modern industrial cities of Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan. The epicenter was placed in Sagami Bay, just southwest of Tokyo Bay. Destruction ranged from far up into the Hakone mountains, home to popular tourist resorts, to the busy shipping lanes of Yokohama Bay, north to the city of Tokyo.
