福岡大樓, Commercial skyscraper in Chūō-ku, Japan
Fukuoka Building is a modern commercial structure that rises 234 meters in the central district of Chūō-ku. Its glass and steel exterior features contemporary design elements that define the city's skyline.
Construction began in the early 2000s during a period of rapid business development in Fukuoka's financial district. This expansion was part of the city's broader modernization of its central commercial area.
Japanese and international companies occupy multiple floors, drawing thousands of workers daily to this central location. The building functions as a key hub for business activities across the Kyushu region.
Multiple subway lines and bus routes serve the building, with direct underground passage from Fukuoka Station through a covered walkway. Morning hours or early afternoon are better times to visit before peak traffic hours.
The structure incorporates advanced seismic technology that makes it highly resistant to earthquakes, a critical feature in Japan. Roughly 30 percent of its construction materials come from recycled sources, reflecting a commitment to sustainable building practices.
