Sunshine 60 (サンシャイン60,Sanshain rokujū) is a 60-story,mixed-use skyscraper located inIkebukuro,Toshima,Tokyo, adjoining theSunshine City complex. At the time of its completion in 1978, the 239.7 m (787 ft)^[1] building wasthe tallest in Asia,^[2] a title it held until 1985 when it was surpassed by the63 Building inSeoul. Sunshine 60 was also thetallest building in Tokyo andJapan until theTokyo Metropolitan Government Building was completed in 1991,^[3] and housed the world's fastest elevators (at 600 metres per minute (2,000 ft/min)) until the opening of theYokohama Landmark Tower in 1993;Mitsubishi Electric installed the elevators at the former's highest-rise bank as well as the latter, andMitsubishi Estate owns both buildings.

Construction

[edit]

Sunshine 60's foundation is made ofreinforced concrete. The lower segment of the building is also reinforced concrete with asteel skeleton. The upper tower is a steel skeleton with "slitted shear walls". These unique walls were inserted between columns in the core, allowing the walls to conform to deformations in the steel frame caused byearthquakes andwind shear helping to assure structural integrity. A rigid framing structural system creates the frame. Mechanical equipment is located directly above the core of the structure on its rooftop.

Sunshine 60 was erected over the site of the destroyedSugamo Prison, famously used to hold senior Japanesewar criminals during theoccupation.^[4] On December 23, 1948, seven high-ranking, convicted war criminals (including former Prime MinisterHideki Tojo and former civilian Prime MinisterKōki Hirota)were hanged at the prison. It was also the site of the hanging of Soviet spyRichard Sorge during the war. In popular modern lore, the area isrumored to be haunted.^[3]

Facilities

[edit]

As a mixed-use high-rise, Sunshine 60's space is used for a variety of purposes. Floors 1 through 9 are used as commercial space and house a post office, banks, showrooms, cafeterias, a health care center and a day care center. Office space occupies floors 10 through 57. Restaurants are located on the 58th and 59th floors.

From the 60th floor, visitors can see as far as 100 km on a clear day from Sunshine 60'sobservation deck (admission fee up to ¥620^[5]). To get visitors to the observation deck quickly, the observation deck bank of the tower's 40 elevators takes passengers directly from the lobby at a speed of 600 meters per minute (36 km/h, 22 mph). Between its opening and 1993 (the opening ofYokohama Landmark Tower), the observation deck elevators were the fastest in the world.^[6]

Office tenants

[edit]

The office floors house the headquarters ofCredit Saison,FamilyMart,NTT Plala andSammy Corporation, among other office tenants.
