If you are following automotive news in the UAE, you might already be aware that Nissan, one of the renowned Japanese automobile manufacturers, is struggling to maintain its existence in the global market, and its challenges have further elevated after imposed tariffs on imported cars in the US by President Donald Trump. As it’s already facing several financial and operational challenges, Nissan might be forced to sell one of its biggest assets, including Yokohama headquarters, to avoid its collapse.
According to a Nikkei Asia report, Nissan has shifted its headquarters to the list of assets it plans to sell in March 2026. The Yokohama site has been Nissan’s HQ since its relocation from Tokyo in 2009 and is strategically located near the busy Yokohama station. Nissan’s Yokohama headquarters is estimated to be worth over 100 billion yen (approx. AED 2.55 billion). By selling its HQ, the Japanese automobile manufacturer would raise funds to close seven of its 17 global factories.
Does selling the Yokohama headquarters mean finding a new HQ office for Nissan? There is no confirmation of it. However, one of the most logical steps Nissan can take is to sell its HQ first and then sign a lease to keep the business running without shifting to any other location. McLaren used this strategy when it sold the Woking headquarters in the UK for $237 million and then signed a 20-year lease to keep operating the business on the site.
Japanese news sources also claim that the Japanese government can negotiate a new deal to lower the tariffs, similar to the deal between the US and the UK. The existing tariff rates imposed by the US have required the Japanese government to offer consultation services across the supply chain and financial consultation among the affected businesses.
