The Edobashi warehouse building, which was built in 1930 and was originally where the company's headquarters was located, has a unique appearance reminiscent of a ship and has been designated Tokyo's historic landmark as a renowned art piece of expressionistic architecture. A renovation project is underway to redesign the building into a skyscraper, 18 stories high and 1 story deep, while preserving the building façade.
