History

The structure was completed in 2007 and held the title of Tokyo's tallest building until 2014. This period represented a milestone in the city's changing skyline.

Culture

The tower features large-scale artworks by Sam Francis displayed in its lobby, bringing artistic presence into the commercial space. These installations serve as visual focal points that shape how people experience the building's interior.

Practical
