[2] The cost of the project was approximately 15 billion yen (US$130 million), with construction officially beginning on January 8, 2005.

On the roof of the building, there is a damper, which was designed to reduce vibrations resulting from earthquakes by 20%.

When the tower was being designed and built, four concepts were implemented that would represent traditional and cultural aspects of Gifu City.

The second concept brings Gifu Lanterns into the design, using traditional designs of the lanterns on the outer walls to make the tower blend with the surrounding area.

The third design brings in Gifu's former name, Inokuchi (井口), by creating lines down the each side of the building so, when it is viewed from above, it represents the character 井, which is also the city symbol.
