Fukuoka Jisho is reconsidering its redevelopment plans for the East Building of Canal City Hakata, potentially postponing its reconstruction. Originally planned for demolition and conversion into a mixed-use facility featuring luxury rentals, the building remains standing since its closure in May 2023. Delays are attributed to rising demolition costs due to labor shortages. Local residents express frustration, having expected the area to be reopened for public use this summer. Source: FBS
