A 113-meter office tower—the tallest to date in Fukuoka’s Tenjin Big Bang redevelopment—opened September 3 in Tenjin 2-chome. The “Tenjin Sumitomo Life FJ Business Center” features 24 floors above ground and extensive shared amenities, including gyms, sauna facilities, and meeting rooms.
Despite concerns over rising office vacancy rates, over 80% of the building is already leased. Developers credit the appeal of its refreshment spaces. The Big Bang initiative aims to rebuild 120 office buildings by the 2030s; 74 have been completed as of March 2025, with two more planned for next fiscal year. Source: NHK
