3. The 3 Nakanoshima Joint Development Project and the Completion of the Nakanoshima Daibiru Building
On August 19, 1997, a signing ceremony for a basic agreement on the 3 Nakanoshima Joint Development Project took place involving Daibiru, the Kansai Electric Power Company, Incorporated, and Kanden Sangyo Co., Ltd. (now Kanden Realty & Development). This was a joint-development project by the three companies that included rebuilding the Daibiru-Honkan Building at 3 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka. The signing ceremony took place in the eighth year after consideration of the project began in 1989.
This project was part of the Nakanoshima Western District Development Plan that was being promoted by the City of Osaka. Several other projects, including the National Museum of Art, Osaka and the Osaka International Convention Center were already underway in 4 Nakanoshima and 5 Nakanoshima, and 3 Nakanoshima was positioned as the plan’s “cultural and business zone” based on the fundamental principle that consistency with that plan would be maintained. Construction of the first phase, the Kanden Building, began in August 2000 and was completed in December 2004. It was followed by the second phase of construction, the Nakanoshima Daibiru Building.
The Nakanoshima Daibiru Building was designed to be an elegant building befitting our first rebuild project in the Osaka area. The design of the low-rise portion was a carry-over from the Daibiru-Honkan Building, and the project incorporated the following three concepts.
◇ Flexibility
Make a variety of layouts possible by having the pillars near the windows be located outside the building perimeter. Provide space for outdoor installation of air conditioning compressor units meet the diverse needs of tenants for their office space. Additionally, made it possible to install staircases within rental spaces and tenant-specific EPS systems.
◇ Comprehensive amenities
Provide commercial facilities (cafes, restaurants, etc.) on the lower floors to provide comprehensive services for tenants. This was part of the “expanding into commercial facilities” component of Daibiru-3D Project Phase I, the medium-term management plan established in April 2007, as one of our growth strategies, and it was our first full-scale commercial space management effort.
◇ Eco-friendliness
Reduce energy consumption by adopting an eco-friendly façade that incorporates exterior columns and awnings into its exterior design, a district heating/cooling system that utilizes river water, and a natural ventilation system.
The building had 35 aboveground floors, two underground floors, and three penthouse floors. Nikken Sekkei Ltd designed the building and supervised the project, and Kajima Corporation was responsible for construction.
Construction of the Nakanoshima Daibiru Building began in October 2006 as phase 2 of the Nakanoshima Joint Development Project. The building became Daibiru’s new flagship building upon completion in March 2009.
The exterior eco-friendly façade gives the impression of an environmental focus, while the building’s lower levels preserve the look of the Daibiru-Honkan Building that has long been familiar to Osaka residents. In addition to having a commercial area on the lower floors, the building’s underground section was connected to Watanabebashi Station on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line, enhancing the building’s convenience for tenants. The office zone was occupied by major companies that include Asahi Kasei Corporation and K-Opticom Corporation (now Optage), and the commercial zone opened for business with a grand opening in July 2009.
