The property is a two-minute walk from Hanzomon Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and a nine-minute walk from Kojimachi Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line. Completed in 2009, the building has seven floors above ground and one below, with a typical floor plate of approximately 59 tsubo (approx. 2,100 sq. ft.).
The vacancy rate for office buildings with typical floor plates of 50 to 100 tsubo (approx. 1,800 to 3,600 sq. ft.) within a five-minute walk of Hanzomon Station peaked at 11.4% in March 2024 and has since declined to 5.4% as of September 2026. At the same point, the rate was 3.6% around Ichigaya Station and 3.4% around Kudanshita Station, meaning vacancies around Hanzomon Station remain higher than in surrounding areas (based on editorial research using estie office research).
