Shinagawa Grand Central Tower, Office tower in Shinagawa District, Japan
Shinagawa Grand Central Tower is a 148-metre office skyscraper in the Shinagawa Grand Commons redevelopment area by Shinagawa Station's Konan exit. Its main face has a dense grid of small rectangular windows in narrow vertical columns, split by a recessed strip of dark green-tinted glass; the top windows step back from the stone-grey cladding, and the base is faced in pale grey panels above greenish glass.
Opened on 16 April 2003 as the Shinagawa Mitsubishi Building within the Shinagawa Grand Commons redevelopment, it housed Mitsubishi Corporation offices and the headquarters of Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Fuso, which moved from Tamachi. Renamed in September 2006, it saw Mitsubishi Motors return to Tamachi in December 2006 and Mitsubishi Corporation leave for Marunouchi in March 2009. Microsoft Japan then took up offices.
The name changed from Shinagawa Mitsubishi Building to Shinagawa Grand Central Tower in September 2006. The low-rise Shinagawa Gran Passage arcade links the tower to the neighbouring NBF Shinagawa Tower and holds restaurants and shops, among them Freshness Burger, Ootoya Gohan Dokoro, Beer Einstein, a Lawson and a Café de Crie.
The building is directly connected to Shinagawa Station through elevated pedestrian walkways. This connection makes it easy to reach the major train lines that pass through the area.
The event hall in the low-rise commercial floors is called THE GRAND HALL and seats 500, not 460. It sits within the Shinagawa Gran Passage, the shop and restaurant arcade that also links the tower to the neighbouring NBF Shinagawa Tower.
