A 22-story mixed-use tower with four basement levels is expected to be completed by the end of 2031 at a projected cost of \u00a5123 billion. The building will rise about 110 meters and have roughly 140,000 square meters of total floor space. A hotel will occupy floors 16 through 22, with offices on floors 8 through 15. Retail facilities and cultural venues, including a live music hall, will be placed on the lower and underground levels. The neighboring Shintencho shopping arcade will be redeveloped together with the Parco site, creating a two-building complex in central Fukuoka near Tenjin Station. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOJC088L90Y6A900C2000000\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nikkei<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=18118140&#038;ymd=2026-09-08\" target=\"_blank\">KBC News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_new-parco-image_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1148%2C753&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1148\" height=\"753\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_new-parco-image_2026_cl.jpg?w=1148&amp;ssl=1 1148w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_new-parco-image_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_new-parco-image_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C672&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fnn_new-parco-image_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C504&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Get Fukuoka and Kyushu\u2019s top stories delivered to your inbox.
