Ariake Frontier Building, Commercial building in Ariake, Japan
Ariake Frontier Building is an office tower in the Ariake district of Tokyo, a business area built on reclaimed land along Tokyo Bay. The tower has 21 floors above ground and is connected at the second-floor level to the surrounding pedestrian walkway network.
Ariake was an industrial zone until the second half of the 20th century, when a large urban redevelopment project transformed it into a business district. This building was put up during that period of change, as the bay waterfront was opened up for offices and event halls.
The building sits in Ariake, a reclaimed waterfront district that today draws office workers and trade fair visitors in roughly equal numbers. On days when events take place at nearby Tokyo Big Sight, the surrounding walkways fill with people moving between venues.
The building is within walking distance of Kokusai-Tenjijo-Seimon Station on the Rinkai Line and can be reached via a covered walkway on the second floor. Parking is available on site, though spaces fill up quickly on event days at nearby venues.
The building has specialized emergency facilities that are linked to Tokyo's city-wide disaster prevention network, a feature that is unusual for a standard office tower. This kind of integration reflects how earthquake preparedness shapes design choices in new developments across the bay area.
