History

The Marunouchi Building in 1936
The Marunouchi Building in 1997

In 1923, a nine-storey building was built on the site. The building survived both the Great Kantō Earthquake and the bombings of Tokyo during the Second World War. With a total floor area of over 60,000 square metres, it was the largest office building in Asia when it was completed.[1]

The old building was closed in 1997 and replaced by the current 180-metre structure in 2002. One of the porticos from the old building has been preserved as part of the new building.
