Sapporo Mitsui JP Building, Sapporo Kita3-jo Plaza

THE JP Tower is located in front of the Hokkaido Government Building, "Red Bricks" and is the leading project for the community building in this district.
The site combines the old Sapporo Mitsui Building and JP Group Sapporo Building sites under the Urban Renewal Special District framework to rebuild the former and renovate the latter while bequeathing a public square facing the Kita-3-Jo Street, the "Sapporo North 3 Jo Square (Akapura)".

The Ginkgo Tree lined street and wood block paving, designated as Engineering Heritage were carefully considered into the planning for Akapura to create a symbolic vista encompassing the Red Bricks andn also providing an urban square for events that heighten the vibrancy and give repose to the community.
The Sapporo Mitsui JP Building has been designed for the northern climate of Hokkaido boasts a complete connection with the underground pedestrian passageway Chi/Ka/Ho and seamless continuity of the exterior spaces with Akapura to provide easy access in any season.
The indoor Atrium facing out to the crossing of the Station Street and North 3-Jo Street, the north-south corridor connecting the neighboring blocks and the Observation Terrace with vistas over Red Bricks building, are all designed to connect the community, people and history.
