OSAKA 大阪 | Osaka Hibikino Machi - The Sanctus Tower 大阪ひびきの街 ザ・サンクタスタワー | 190m | U/C

OSAKA 大阪 | Osaka City Nishi-ku Shinmachi 1-chome Mansion Project 大阪市西区新町1丁目マンション計画 | 190m | U/C







I already posted about this location here, it's the redevelopment of the old offices next to the Kouseinenkin-Kaikan concert hall that itself is undergoing a renovation. Many people on the internet expected a very tall, higher then 200m tower on this location. Therefor the 190m is a disappointment for some, I also hoped for it to be a bit taller. But it will be another high tower going U/C, Osaka is really going up with so many towers U/C.

stats:
height: 189.55m
floors: 53
function: residential
status: plan
start: April 2012
completion: February 2015

Location:
Shinmachi 1-chome, Nishi-ku, Osaka

The website was also updated, with info on the structural innovations of the tower.

It will be one of the 1st towers in Japan that will have a solid core within the concrete frame.



The core is connected with the frame with dampers, making the building sway less in the case of a eartquake or a typhoon. It's the same method that is already used on the Tokyo Sky Tree, this is the 1st building that will have this system.

I know that park very well from standing in the goods line before the 1st concert I ever attended in Japan. The Berryz Kobo Concert Tour 2007 Natsu ~Welcome! Berryz Kyouden~ on Miyabi's birthday, it was epic.

Long time since I've been to the site, so I decided to go and check the progress. But how about that, the tower is growing now ;).











And I thought this one was iconic :). A rest of the samurai ;). They work really hard indeed.
