Palaceside Building has a new “sibling.” The Mainichi Nihonbashi Building, newly acquired by The Mainichi Newspapers.
(The Mainichi Nihonbashi Building site is “ https://www.mai-b.co.jp/m_nihombashi/”)
It is in Nihonbashi 2-chome, Chuo Ward. Between Chuo-dori, home of Takashimaya Nihonbashi, and Sotobori-dori in front of JR Tokyo Station’s Yaesu exit, close to Chuo-dori — a prime
site. The building at left in the photo above, with glass running in vertical stripes; the high-rise behind it is Daimaru Tokyo in front of Tokyo Station. (See the map at the end)
A reinforced-concrete office of about 900 square meters of land, eight stories above and one below, about 6,700 square meters total floor area, finished May 2012 — four years old. The first floor has restaurants and more.
In fact Nishitetsu, based in Fukuoka, developed it as “Nishitetsu Nihonbashi Building.” The Mainichi Newspapers has now exchanged it for “Mainichi Fukuoka Kaikan,” which it owns in Tenjin, central Fukuoka. On the afternoon of June 30 the name became “Mainichi Nihonbashi Building.” The entrance sign was also swapped — photos at upper right ⇒ below.
Tenants of course stay on. Happily, it is now fully leased.
The new building has solar power, a seismic isolation structure and other features; I will report on those in due course.
In any case Mainichi Building Co. will manage and operate the new building as it does Palaceside Building; we ask for your support.
