PIAS Tower, Modern skyscraper in Kita-ku, Japan.
PIAS Tower is a modern office building in Kita-ku, Osaka, with 28 floors rising 132 meters above the street. The structure uses glass and steel to create a sleek form that stands out in the commercial district.
The tower was completed in 1996 by architect NIKKEN SEKKEI, marking an important moment in Osaka's urban growth. Its construction was part of the city's broader expansion of modern business districts.
The building's design incorporates elements reflecting Japanese corporate architecture with its headquarters function for PIAS Corporation.
The building sits in a well-connected commercial area with easy access to public transportation nearby. Visitors can reach the location easily by train or bus and enjoy access to shops and restaurants in the surrounding district.
The building's silhouette resembles a lipstick tube, a subtle nod to the cosmetics industry of the company headquartered inside. This playful architectural choice is often overlooked by passersby who simply see it as a striking tower.
