Memory number five, in this new(ish) series. This time around we look at the incredible, Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル, Umeda Sukai Biru).
The Umeda Sky Building is two-tower mixed-use skyscraper in Osaka, Japan. Gosh I loved Osaka.
Located on the outskirts of the Umeda business district in Kita-ku, Osaka, the Umeda Sky Building consists of two 40-story towers interconnected at their two uppermost stories via glass bridges with escalators and elevators that cross an open atrium space.
It is currently the fifteenth-tallest building in the prefecture.
The towers reach a total height of 170 m (557.74 ft) while the overall height of the tower including the spires is 190 metres (623.4 ft).
The towers were designed by Hiroshi Hara, & were constructed by Takenaka Corporation, completed in 1993.
