Marunouchi Building


The Marunouchi Building is a skyscraper located in Marunouchi, Tokyo, Japan. Construction of the 180-metre, 37-story skyscraper was finished in 2002.

History

In 1923, a nine-storey building was built on the site. The building survived both the Great Kantō Earthquake and the bombings of Tokyo during the Second World War. With a total floor area of over 60,000 square metres, it was the largest office building in Asia when it was completed.
The old building was closed in 1997 and replaced by the current 180-metre structure in 2002. One of the porticos from the old building has been preserved as part of the new building.
