Since its founding, Daibiru’s building construction has continually met the needs of the times.
In anticipation of the trend toward the concentration of business in urban areas, two years after our establishment Daibiru completed construction of the Daibiru-Honkan Building in Nakanoshima, Osaka, an emblematic office building of western Japan. Two years after that we completed construction of the Hibiya Daibiru Building in Hibiya, Tokyo. Here we present our history of continually anticipating and meeting the needs of the times.
Beginnings
Establishment of Osaka Building and commencement of building projects
The establishment of Osaka Building Co., Ltd. coincided with a period of economic turmoil, when Japan had yet to recover from the effects of the post-World War I recession and the devastating damage caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake. Despite the harsh conditions in which Daibiru started, our business got off to a promising start, and four years after our establishment we launched our first operations in Tokyo. Daibiru had planned this expansion into Tokyo immediately after establishment, in anticipation of the trend toward the concentration of business in urban areas.
October 1923
Osaka Building Co., Ltd. (capital: 3 million yen) established through joint capital investment of three companies: O.S.K. Line, Ujigawa Electric Power Co., Ltd., and Nippon Electric Power Co., Ltd.
September 1925
One of the largest office buildings in western Japan
Construction completed on Daibiru-Honkan Building in Sozecho (now Nakanoshima), Kita-ku, Osaka
The Daibiru-Honkan Building was constructed at a location in the Nakanoshima area of Osaka, a major economic and cultural hub, and was described as “a building befitting ‘Dai-Osaka’ (Big Osaka)” due to its large scale and high functionality. It was the first building in Osaka following the Great Kanto Earthquake to employ earthquake-resistant construction, and this would serve as a precursor to Daibiru’s later emphasis on earthquake resistance. The Daibiru Club was established on the western half of the top floor (eighth floor) of the building. It served as a social space for the building’s occupants, where important figures from the Kansai business world gathered for meals and meetings.
Comparing the old and the new: Daibiru-Honkan BuildingNewly constructed after 90 years Inherited brickwork and design concepts
The old Daibiru-Honkan Building was considered to be a trailblazer in the history of full-scale rental office buildings in Japan. How then would we go about reconstructing this renowned building? At the culmination of various discussions, we concluded that: “It is essential that the building be restored to its historical appearance while retaining its original form. At the same time, it must realize the latest functionality and safety features so that it can continue to be used for many years to come.” While the terra cotta, bricks, and stone reliefs that made up the exterior of the old Daibiru-Honkan Building were reused, the finishing touches on the new Daibiru-Honkan Building incorporated a lavish array of state-of-the-art concepts and technologies.
The Eagle and Girl statue
The Neo-Romanesque exterior with an Eastern flavor played a large role in what caught people’s attention about the old Daibiru-Honkan Building. The Eagle and Girl statue, which adorned the half-circle arch in the central foyer, was also restored and has long been a familiar presence among the public since the building’s completion.
Daibiru Salon 1923
Daibiru Salon 1923 was established on the first floor. Here, the adornments and furnishings of the old Daibiru-Honkan Building have been reproduced, and are reminiscent of the Daibiru Club, which served as a social space for the building’s occupants.
July 1927
Expansion into Tokyo
Construction completed on Hibiya Daibiru Building No. 1 in Uchisaiwaicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo
As our first representative building in Tokyo, the Hibiya Daibiru Building No. 1 aimed to further innovate and improve on the Daibiru-Honkan Building in Osaka. The design employed innovations such as a center core system in which elevators, staircases, hot water and water supply facilities were concentrated in the center of the building. This is said to be the first property to employ the current center core system. The building’s exterior is also distinctive, with the eave molding and seventh-floor windowsills decorated with animal and gargoyle masks made from Japanese terra cotta, a fond and familiar presence among users of the building.
Comparing the old and the new: Hibiya Daibiru BuildingThe old Building No. 1 transformed into 21-story skyscraper The old Building No. 2 transformed into a publicly accessible green open space
More than 60 years had passed since construction of the Hibiya Daibiru Building, and its reconstruction plan was themed on “design incorporating the surrounding urban environment.” The design thus aimed to optimize the entire project by converting the site of Building No. 2 into a green space and compensating for this space by transforming the site of Building No. 1 into a skyscraper. The old Hibiya Daibiru Building was famed for the 125 gargoyle and animal masks attached to the exterior walls as talismans to ward off evil and was a familiar presence among local people. When the decision was made to reconstruct the building due to age-related deterioration, dozens of written petitions pleading to save the decorative animal masks and reliefs were received. In response to these calls, these masks and reliefs have been mounted in the courtyard of the 21st-floor atrium of the new Hibiya Daibiru Building and at locations in the publicly accessible open space.
Site of the old Hibiya Daibiru Building No. 2 turned into a publicly accessible open space
A bronze goddess statue and hero statue by Japanese sculptor Teizo Okuni, which had been placed on the left and right walls at the first-floor front entrance of the old Building No. 1, have been placed at the north and south entrances of the new building just as they were in the past.
Gargoyle and animal masks and animal reliefs
Six of the gargoyle and animal masks were equipped in the waterfall in the publicly accessible open space, where they were deployed as features with water pouring out of their mouths. Gargoyle and animal masks and animal reliefs were also mounted at various locations on the site and enjoyed mass media coverage for their creation of striking scenes in an urban space.
April 1931
Construction completed on Hibiya Daibiru Building No.2
July 1937
Construction completed on Daibiru-Shinkan Building, adjacent to Daibiru-Honkan Building
Reconstruction and Development
From post-war resumption and expansion of building construction to orientation toward urban development
World War II ended, but Daibiru was faced with the task of making a fresh start in a devastated land with a struggling economy. The company changed its name to Osaka Tatemono Co., Ltd. and, under this new name, took its first steps toward post-war reconstruction, including the restoration of the Daibiru Buildings, which had been converted into factories, and the repair of various facilities in each building.
October 1945
Company name changed to Osaka Tatemono Co., Ltd.
June 1946
Hibiya Daibiru Building No. 1 and No. 2 under seizure (for 12 years and five months until December 1958 under the occupation of the U.S. forces stationed in Japan)
December 1950
Osaka Tatemono is listed on the Osaka Securities Exchange.
April 1958, October 1963
Japan’s first rooftop tree garden installed
Construction completed of the South Wing (1958) and the North Wing (1963) of the Shin-Daibiru Building in Dojimahama, Kita-ku, Osaka
After being temporarily abandoned due to the end of the postwar special procurement boom and the start of an economic recession, the plan to construct a new building on land in Dojima, Osaka, was resumed in 1956 when a prolonged period of economic recovery began. The South Wing of the Shin-Daibiru Building, which had opened in advance of this, shone white along the Dojima River and became a symbol of Osaka’s post-war recovery. The North Wing, the construction of which was completed five years later, incorporated a vision of “harmony with the environment” that looked beyond rapid economic growth. It was the first building in Japan to feature a rooftop tree garden. This garden of approximately 3,300 m² had around 5,400 plants and trees.
Comparing the old and the new: Shin-Daibiru BuildingInheriting the idea of harmony with nature, to create a fresh appearance in anticipation of a new era
The old Shin-Daibiru Building incorporated a vision of “harmony with the environment.” The new Shin-Daibiru Building in aiming to embody the concept of “constructing an environmentally friendly landmark building with large, stacked awnings that extend along the Dojima River,” was designed to be symbiotic with the environment. This included reducing its environmental impacts and making use of the location’s abundant natural resources, such as outdoor air cooling and rainwater usage. Comprehensive BCP measures were also incorporated, with an awareness of both disaster preparedness and recovery.
The plan to transplant the rooftop garden represented the biggest challenge, with 22 trees in vigorous health transplanted to the Dojima-no-mori, a garden of approximately 3,300 m2, which had been prepared for this purpose.
Transfer of the rooftop garden to Dojima-no-mori
A portion of the zelkova, maple, and other trees that had been cultivated in the rooftop garden of the old building were also transplanted. The forest was thus reborn as a peaceful natural sanctuary incorporating both biodiversity perspectives and the concepts of the old building’s rooftop garden.
Sheep sculptures
The balconies located at the four corners of the fourth floor of the old building were designed to alleviate the stern persona created by a rectilinear building. When construction of the new building was completed, the sheep sculptures that had previously been stationed on these balconies were brought down to the ground and relocated to the four corners of the site to serve as the new face of the Shin-Daibiru Building.
August 1967
Functional and scenic contribution to the local community
Construction completed on Yaesu Daibiru Building in Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
In order to construct a building that would be an appropriate gateway to the capital city of Tokyo, no projecting billboards, which spoil the surrounding scenery, were allowed to be attached to the Yaesu Daibiru Building. The first floor was equipped with showcase windows that faced the sidewalk to allay impressions of a dark streetscape, with the basement level directly connected to the Yaesu underground shopping mall via a belowground passageway, thus creating a vibrant commercial atmosphere. A garage with a capacity of 74 vehicles was also installed on the basement level. The building’s exterior appearance, its night-time illumination, and the provision of parking spaces with consideration to the traffic situation, all served to contribute to the local community.

Construction of the first hotel to pioneer the establishment of air rights
Construction completed on Dojima Daibiru Building (ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka) in Dojimahama, Kita-ku, Osaka
The Dojima Daibiru Building was a project involving the construction of a luxury city hotel by Daibiru and the leasing of this hotel in its entirety to ANA Enterprises. At the outset of the planning process, we were faced with the challenge of being unable to construct a building to the scale requested by ANA Enterprises for the hotel due to an insufficient legal floor area ratio. This challenge was resolved by establishing an air rights agreement with the adjacent Club Kansai. The Dojima Daibiru Building was highly significant for Daibiru in representing our first commercial building other than offices as well as our first involvement in constructing a skyscraper with more than ten floors and the first time we had established air rights.
May 1986
The Awajimachi Daibiru Building in Awajimachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka is completed.
September 1986

Expansion
Acquisition of existing properties and undertaking large-scale renovation projects
Daibiru successfully minimized impacts from the collapse of the asset price bubble by maintaining a level-headed attitude during the overheating of the real estate market which characterized the economic bubble era of the 1980s and refraining from over-investment while prices were inflated. Since the bursting of the asset price bubble, Daibiru has championed a policy of concentrating its investments in Tokyo and expanded its business through the acquisition of existing properties and undertaking commercial building projects. We decided to engage in large-scale renovation projects for buildings that have suffered age-related deterioration.
June 1988
The Volkart Building (Dokita Daibiru Building) in Dojima, Kita-ku, Osaka is acquired through M&A.
October 1989
Daibiru’s first engagement with the challenge of a reconstruction project
First-phase reconstruction completed on Hibiya Daibiru Building; construction completed on new building
The reconstruction of the Hibiya Daibiru Building represented Daibiru’s first attempt to demolish and reconstruct a building that was still occupied by multiple tenants. Promoting the reconstruction plan involved two major challenges. The first of these was the question of what should be done regarding securing a location at which to temporarily relocate tenants. The other challenge was the method to be employed in reconstruction. This unprecedented, approximately decade-long project had virtually no previous parallel examples among industry peers and its completion on schedule further enhanced Daibiru’s reputation.
Comparing the old and the new: Hibiya Daibiru BuildingThe old Building No. 1 transformed into 21-story skyscraper The old Building No. 2 transformed into a publicly accessible green open space
More than 60 years had passed since construction of the Hibiya Daibiru Building, and its reconstruction plan was themed on “design incorporating the surrounding urban environment.” The design thus aimed to optimize the entire project by converting the site of Building No. 2 into a green space and compensating for this space by transforming the site of Building No. 1 into a skyscraper.

Overcoming extreme density
Construction completed on Umeda Daibiru Building in Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka
The vicinity of the Umeda Daibiru Building was lined with high-rise buildings over 100 m in height, with an 800% floor-area ratio in an area of around 2.6 ha. The major key to the design of the Umeda Daibiru Building was in discerning how to overcome this extreme density and realize an appealing urban space. After a series of trial-and-error attempts, a design plan was formulated ensuring large pilotis with a ceiling height of 15 m on the first floor. This facilitated the successful development of a dynamic, three-dimensional urban space with a walkable urban environment. The building was also directly connected to Garden Avenue, a 600-m-long underground walkway, thereby providing excellent access to the Umeda area and railway lines in its vicinity.
February 2021
Acquisition of Shiba Daibiru Building in Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo
Transformation
Expanding into other countries and Japanese regions
Within Japan, Daibiru had been expanding our business in the Kansai region and the Tokyo metropolitan area. Our medium-term management plan, however, encompassed “expansion into growing markets” and “expansion of investment targets” into its purview. As part of this initiative, we promoted expansion into markets outside Japan and expansion of investment in core regional cities in Japan. Daibiru is committed to increasing our presence as a comprehensive real estate company in four business fields: office buildings, commercial buildings, international business, and regional business.

Construction completed on Akihabara Daibiru Building in Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (redevelopment project in front of Akihabara Station)
The Akihabara Daibiru Building which would play a core role in the Akihabara Crossfield IT hub, was required to have four functions: industry-academia collaboration, the attraction of visitors, information networks, and office space. Befitting an IT hub, it incorporated on its second floor a learning and creativity zone and convention hall, and on its fifth floor a conference floor and industry-academia exchange zone, with overtures made to attract tenants for floors 6 through 15 that would contribute to industry-academia collaborative functions. IT-related companies, universities, and public research institutes have subsequently taken up occupancy in the building.

Construction completed on Nakanoshima Daibiru Building in Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka (3-chome Nakanoshima joint development project)
The construction of the Nakanoshima Daibiru Building, our first reconstruction project in the Osaka area, was oriented around the three concepts of flexibility, comprehensive amenities, and eco-friendliness. Commercial facilities occupy the lower floors with the exterior “eco-friendly façade” imparting the building’s emphasis on the environment. The image of the Daibiru-Honkan Building, a long-familiar presence for Osaka residents, was preserved by building-in design motifs such as decorative stone columns, arches and eave moldings at both the north and south entrances of the lower-level foundation floors.

Saigon Tower represented the first office building in Vietnam to be owned by a Japanese real estate company. Having been completed in 1996, the building’s facilities were due for renovation. A variety of major renovations were implemented, including upgrades to chillers (coolant water circulation equipment), renovation work on the lifts, lobby, and corridors, and exterior beautification work. In addition, Saigon Tower became the first office building in Vietnam to be fully equipped with bidet toilets following their installation in all its restrooms, with all this work undertaken toward the goal of bringing the building up to Japanese building standards. Daibiru now enjoys a reputation for continuously maintaining and improving the value of this building and providing the uniquely Japanese standards of meticulous service.

Construction completed on BiTO AKIBA in Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (first in-house development of a dedicated commercial building)
BiTO AKIBA is positioned at the intersection of two neighborhoods with distinct characteristics. At the time of its construction, one of these was lined with electronics shopping streets and stores with subculture-related themes, while the other had been subject to redevelopment focused on the area surrounding the train station. Locating the facility here had as its goal the creation of a commercial building that would be conducive to being frequented by people visiting both areas, thereby creating a lively atmosphere. The distinctive exterior of the building, which took as its motif Edo-period artisanal stacked glass boxes, imbued the building with a both glamorous and lively feel while maintaining traditional elements. The brand name of BiTO represents two Japanese phrases meaning “beautiful city,” and “people who gather in a building.”

First expansion into core regional city in Japan
Three buildings, including DAIBIRU PIVOT in Chuo-ku, Sapporo acquired (first project involving extension of operations to a core regional city)
Daibiru launched operations in Sapporo as part of its goal to expand into the so-called regional core cities outside Osaka and Tokyo and thereby increase the geographical scope of its business and achieve a new leap forward. As part of this, it acquired three properties in the heart of Sapporo City—PIVOT, the Pentagram Building, and the Keiwa MT Building—commercial facilities which had boasted the largest scale in a commercial district of Sapporo City for almost half a century. Daibiru renamed the three properties Daibiru PIVOT, Daibiru PIVOT West, and Daibiru PIVOT South and continued to operate them. Meanwhile, in January 2020, it opened the Sapporo Project Office (now the Sapporo Project Department).
Challenges in Australia, our second overseas expansion target
Construction completed on 275 George Street in Sydney, Australia
After completing various surveys, Daibiru selected Australia as our second step in overseas expansion following Vietnam. We participated in the 275 George Street development project as a forward funding investor—an entity that purchases the ownership rights of a property and outsources development work. Daibiru acquired its first building in Australia at this excellent location close to Wynyard Station, one of the main train stations in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD), and which faces George Street, a major north-south arterial road running through the city center.
Transformation
Toward our 100th anniversary and beyond
To date, Daibiru has maintained a staunch commitment to constructing buildings and as a result has contributed to the creation of communities. Going forward, it is imperative for us to construct buildings from the perspective of creating communities through co-creation with numerous stakeholders. We aim to strengthen and expand our business by leveraging the experience and achievements that we have accumulated so far while capitalizing on the extensive management resources of the MOL Group.
