IN AN EMERGENCY, METICULOUSLY PREPARED
FOR A LARGE EARTHQUAKE
Akasaka 1-chome, where “Akasaka Intercity AIR” is located, is on a firm stretch of land on the eastern
edge of the Musashino Plateau, which, according to Tokyo’s Earthquake Danger Measurement
Investigation, is an area with the lowest risk of danger. Furthermore, through the use of solid structures
with advanced vibration-suppression systems, people and businesses alike are well-protected in the
event of a major earthquake.
“Akasaka 1-chome” is above the highest predicted height for a tsunami

Robust structure to withstand long-period seismic motion
Securing 1.5 times the resistance to earthquakes demanded for general super high-rise buildings as well as quake resistance equivalent to the highest grade, "Type I," set forth in the "Standards for General Earthquake-Resistant Plans of Government Facilities" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
Three types of "Seismic Control Devices" featuring brand new technology, the first of its kind in Japan (and in the world).
Devices have been set in the best possible areas according to vibration control device specifications and form of the buildings.
A 200-HOUR, 45VA/m2 BACKUP POWER SUPPLY PREPARED TO SUPPORT BUSINESSES
IN EMERGENCIES
Emergency power generators, with a dual fuel system of medium pressure gas and heavy oil, supply
a maximum of about 200 hours to tenant areas at 45VA/m2 in order not to halt business operations in
the case of an emergency or power outage.
Eight day emergency power supply
We will support business continuity efforts even during power outages
Preparations to bring you peace of mind during a disaster.
Introduced a “Damage assessment system” which quickly assesses building damage by automatically analyzing data collected from seismometers in the building.
Automatic restoration system for 2 emergency elevators introduced（2 per section）
Toilets that can be used, thanks to an emergency well, etc. for 7 days during water outages
5 emergency storerooms installed on each office floor
