Chelsea Japan opens<br />
ami Premium Outlets<br />
The center is the<br />
developer’s eighth<br />
<strong>outlet</strong> center to<br />
open in nine years.<br />
Simon Property Group has<br />
decided to skip developing retail<br />
centers in China, at least for now,<br />
but its subsidiary, Chelsea Japan, continues<br />
making strides in Japan.<br />
In July 2009, Chelsea Japan opened<br />
Ami Premium Outlets, its eighth <strong>outlet</strong><br />
center in Japan. CJ is a joint venture<br />
of Simon Property Group (40 percent<br />
ownership) and Mitsubishi Estate Co.,<br />
Ltd. (60 percent ownership).<br />
Ami Premium Outlets opened on a<br />
bright day and was greeted, as usual,<br />
by thousands of Japanese shoppers<br />
eagerly waiting for speeches to end<br />
and ribbons to be cut so they could<br />
begin shopping. Videos on YouTube<br />
tell the tale.<br />
The center’s 225,000-sf phase 1<br />
opened fully leased with 100 tenants,<br />
including Adidas, Diesel, Fauchon,<br />
Lanvin en Bleu, Mayson Grey, Ray Ban,<br />
True Religion and Viaggio Blue. Additional<br />
phases could bring the center to<br />
a 360,000-sf build-out.<br />
Ami Premium Outlets is in Ibaraki<br />
Prefecture, about 35 miles or a 50-minute<br />
drive northeast of central Tokyo. The<br />
41-acre site lies near the Ami-Higashi<br />
interchange on the Ken-O Expressway<br />
(Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway), 11<br />
miles from Tsukuba and 20 miles from<br />
Narita International Airport.<br />
About 11 million people live within a<br />
30-mile radius of Ami.<br />
Chelsea Japan’s 2.1 million-sf portfolio<br />
includes Gotemba Premium Outlets<br />
and Sano Premium Outlets (both serving<br />
Tokyo); Rinku Premium Outlets<br />
(Osaka); Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets<br />
(Kobe-Osaka); Sendai-Izumi Premium<br />
Outlets (Sendai); Toki Premium<br />
Outlets (Nagoya) and Tosu Premium<br />
Outlets (Fukuoka). c<br />
