Sakae Sun City Building, Office building and skyscraper in Sakae district, Nagoya, Japan
Sakae Sun City Building is a steel-reinforced concrete structure with eight above-ground floors and two basement levels in central Nagoya. The building combines office spaces with a convenience store at street level and features a mechanical parking system for vehicles.
Built in September 1987, it reflects Japan's emphasis on earthquake-resistant construction standards during the period of urban growth. Its design incorporated advanced safety measures typical of skyscrapers built in seismically active regions.
It forms part of Sakae's commercial hub, a district where department stores and retail spaces shape the everyday shopping life of Nagoya residents.
The building sits less than five minutes from Fushimi Station and around twelve minutes from Sakae Station on foot. Round-the-clock air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable, and the mechanical parking system provides convenient vehicle storage for visitors and tenants.
The building uses a mechanical parking system that maximizes space efficiency in the densely developed Sakae district. This type of automated storage technology was particularly common in Japanese skyscrapers of that era.
