Aqua堂島, Commercial skyscraper in Kita-ku, Japan.
Aqua Dojima is a commercial office complex in Kita-ku comprised of three distinct buildings with separate functions. The east and west towers house office space, while an additional building called Fontana contains restaurants and retail services.
Construction of the complex began in 1991, with the east tower completed in 1993 and the west tower finishing in 1995. This development marked an important phase in modernizing Osaka's business district during that period of economic expansion.
The complex received the 18th Osaka Townscape Award for integrating modern office design with its waterfront setting along the river. The interaction between the buildings and the water creates a distinctive workplace character in the district.
The complex offers basement parking and multiple entrances to different building sections for various purposes. Visitors should know in advance which section they need since areas are designated for specific functions and tenants.
The complex houses several major Japanese corporations and media organizations, including the Nomura Research Institute as a primary tenant. Each building section operates with independent climate control systems designed to serve the specific needs of its tenants.
