Narita Airport Operator Terminates Lease for 'Minna de Ooyasan Narita' Site

The decision cites doubts about the developer’s capacity to finish remaining works, with financing flagged as a key concern.

Overview

  • Narita International Airport Corporation will let its land lease with Kyosei Bank expire at the end of November, affecting about 40% of the roughly 456,000-square-meter project area.
  • NAA President Naoki Fujii said the company could not confirm the developer’s ability to carry out remaining earthworks and reached a comprehensive judgment that included funding considerations.
  • NAA notified the developer on November 26 and received a reply that it would consider its response, and the airport operator said any new contract would be assessed based on future conditions.
  • The 'Minna de Ooyasan Narita' investment product raised about ¥158 billion on a touted 7% yield, yet distributions have not been paid since July 31.
  • Tokyo and Osaka authorities imposed partial business suspensions in June, 1,191 investors have sued in Osaka seeking roughly ¥11.4 billion in refunds, and Narita City now lists the project’s completion target as August 2027.
