Global Gate, Multi-purpose skyscraper in Sasashima Live district, Nagoya, Japan
Global Gate is a 170-meter tower with 37 floors above ground, containing office spaces, meeting facilities, and the Nagoya Prince Hotel Sky Tower. The structure forms a central element of the Sasashima Live development in downtown Nagoya.
The development faced delays from the 2008 financial downturn and the 2011 earthquake, eventually opening in 2017 rather than 2013. This timeline reflects the economic and natural challenges Japan experienced during that period.
The commercial district here reflects a 'Green Style' philosophy, weaving plants and seasonal shifts into the urban fabric of central Nagoya. This approach brings nature into daily routines within the busy shopping and office zones.
A direct pedestrian bridge links the tower to Sasashima Live Station, allowing easy access to Nagoya Station in three minutes via the Aonami Line. The convenient connection makes the area simple to reach from other parts of the city.
Goldman Sachs acquired roughly 70 percent of the entire facility for around 50 billion yen, demonstrating strong international investment in Nagoya's real estate market. This large foreign stake highlights the city's growing appeal as a business center.
