横浜金沢ハイテクセンター, Research skyscraper in Kanazawa, Yokohama, Japan.
Yokohama Kanazawa High-Tech Center is a modern office and research building in Kanazawa-ku with office spaces available for rent and laboratory facilities. The structure combines commercial offices, wet-lab areas, and an on-site hotel within the same complex.
The building opened as a support facility for technology companies, combining research spaces, office rentals, and lodging in one location. It was established to foster growth of tech companies in the Yokohama industrial area.
The center functions as a research hub where biotechnology companies conduct genetic modification experiments in specialized P2-level laboratories following strict protocols.
The building is easily accessible in Kanazawa-ku in the eastern part of Yokohama. You should check in advance whether the facility allows public access since it functions as an active research and office building.
Yokohama City announced plans to sell the facility in 2023 after office demand declined in the area. The building had struggled with low occupancy for years, making it unsustainable to continue operating as originally planned.
