福岡大樓

福岡大樓, Commercial skyscraper in Chūō-ku, Japan

The Fukuoka Building was an office tower at 1-11-17 Tenjin, Chūō-ku, Fukuoka, completed on 31 December 1961 and demolished after closing on 31 March 2019. It had a heliport on the roof that was never officially used and was converted into a beer garden. Its basement connected to Tenjin Station and Tenjin Underground Mall.

Construction started in August 1958 on the site of the former Fukuoka Post Office and Yasuda Trust Bank, and the building was completed on 31 December 1961 at a total cost of 2.5 billion yen. A land exchange involving the Fukuoka Bank headquarters and the post office made the plot available. Nishi-Nippon Railroad moved its headquarters into the building on 29 April 1962. It closed on 31 March 2019 for the Tenjin Big Bang redevelopment and was demolished.

Locals called it Fuku-Biru. Its rooftop heliport for flights to Fukuoka Airport was never approved after test flights drew objections, so it became a beer garden open every summer; in winter the same roof hosted a mentaiko stall. The basement connected directly to Tenjin Station and Tenjin Chikagai.

The building was demolished after closing on 31 March 2019, so there is nothing left to visit; the site is part of the Tenjin Big Bang redevelopment. The former basement connected directly to Tenjin Station on the Airport Line, Tenjin Chikagai and Tenjin Core. The bus stop formerly announced as "Fukubiru-mae" was stop 12 near Tenjin intersection.

The rooftop was first fitted with a heliport for passenger flights between Tenjin and Fukuoka Airport, but objections during test flights kept it from opening; it became a beer garden instead, open every summer. A bus stop nearby was announced as "Fuku Biru mae".
