Project Features
‌‌‌ 1 Enhanced functionality as a transportation hub
To make it easier to transfer and relieve congestion at Nihonbashi Station, where three different subway lines intersect, the project will feature an underground open space that connects the building and
the station, as well as an open space of approximately 1,500m2 facing Nihonbashi intersection.
‌‌‌ 2 Abundant space for pedestrians
The building will be set back to preserve an open space in front of the station, and with barrierfree access between the station and street level, the area will become safer and easier for pedestrians to navigate.
‌‌‌ 3 Enhanced community disaster preparedness
In addition to fireproofing and earthquake resistance, the building will have an emergency generator
that can provide power for 72 hours, as well as a storage facility for emergency provisions. In the
event of a disaster, the open space in front of the station can be used as a first aid station and supply
center, and has room for portable toilets.
‌‌‌ 4 Place for meeting and exchange
A facility displaying tourist information will be installed near Nihonbashi Station, which offers easy access to and from Narita and Haneda airports. The project will also include the area’s largest multipurpose hall (more than 1,000m2), which will have an exhibition area and reception desk,
and can be used for seminars and symposiums.
‌‌‌ 5 State-of-the-art office specifications
The facility will incorporate business continuity planning (BCP) with an earthquake-resistant structure
and a 72-hour supply of backup power, using a range of the latest equipment to prepare for an earthquake or power outage. The office floors will have approximately 820 tsubo of leasable floor space on
standard floors, and the rooms are designed without internal pillars, creating an open feeling and highly efficient layout.
