History
The area authority of this land from early Meiji era had operated the fire-wood industry and the like at this place, but because the company building deteriorated, we had decided to reconstruct in 1983. But, because it has been decided that the highway passes due to city planning construction permit did not descend. Area authority side because you cannot transfer, it negotiated the Osaka and Kobe highway public corporation (at that time) with over approximately 5 years, conclusion it did by the fact that it passes through the highway to the building.
Like this case, site purchase becomes necessary when it passes through the highway and the like, but because there is a circumstance even on area authority side, there is many a thing to which site purchase succeeds always and not to limit becomes problem.
Because of that, portion of road method, city planning method, urban renewal method and construction standard method was amended in 1989, one improvement of the road and the building etc was recognized, the three-dimensional road system was enacted (as for originally this system, annulation 2 around the Tokyo Minato-ku Toranomon the line (as for the part of that the alias MaARTHUR road is called) construction promotion was purpose, but it was not applied result). Because of this, it reached the point where the building which the highway penetrates can be built. The gate tower building is the building which for the first time utilizes the three-dimensional road system in Japan. But usually, being general on the underground to arrange the building in the road and the ground, as for the road part penetrating the building quite it is rare.
