The Kitahama, High-rise building in Kōraibashi, Osaka, Japan
The Kitahama is a 54-story residential tower standing 209 meters (686 feet) tall in central Osaka. The building holds apartments and commercial spaces, including restaurants and shops spread across multiple levels.
Mitsubishi Estate completed this residential tower in May 2009, adding to the growing skyline of West Japan. The project emerged during a period when Osaka was rapidly expanding its high-rise construction.
The building represents contemporary Japanese architectural principles through its integration of residential spaces with advanced structural engineering in an urban setting.
The tower is located near major transportation connections, making it easy to reach by various transit methods. Ground and basement levels offer restaurants and shops, providing convenient access to daily needs.
The structure takes advantage of underground levels to optimize space in this densely built urban area. These basement areas extend the building's functionality beyond what above-ground floors alone could provide.
