Sapporo Mitsui JP Building
Sapporo Mitsui JP Building

This project is located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares in central Sapporo, with many historic landmarks nearby. The urban renewal project was implemented under the theme of creating a new focal point in the heart of Hokkaido’s capital. The developer, city, and local stakeholders shared ideas so that several projects could be integrated into a larger plan. These included connection to an underground pedestrian space and conversion of Kita-Sanjo Avenue into a plaza. To increase the area’s value, it was important to connect various elements to create people-friendly spaces and maximize the location’s potential for tenants, while taking into account the building’s visual impact and restrictions vis-à-vis neighboring buildings. Lower level awnings, street cafés, an atrium, a viewing terrace, stores, and seamless flow from the underground mall contribute to the theme of connecting with the area’s existing features.
