Century Tower, Skyscraper in Bunkyo, Japan
The Century Tower stands 91 meters tall with 21 floors and features a twin-tower design connected by a 72-meter-high atrium in central Tokyo.
Built in 1991 on the site of the former Culture Apartment building from 1925, the tower was designed by Norman Foster with a construction cost of 23 billion yen.
The building represents a fusion of British architectural expertise and Japanese engineering, demonstrated through its innovative structural solutions and safety systems.

The underground level contains a collection of classic cars accessible through a dedicated elevator system installed by the original owner Kazuo Akao.
