Midland Square, officially the Toyota-Mainichi Building, is a 247-meter modern skyscraper designed by Nikken Sekkei and completed in 2007 in the Meieki district of Nagoya, Japan. The tallest building in Nagoya and the ninth tallest in Japan, it stands slightly higher than the nearby JR Central Towers. The structure houses corporate offices for Toyota Motor Corporation, Towa Real Estate, and Mainichi Shimbun, alongside a shopping center with 60 name-brand stores, two automobile showrooms, and a cinema. Notable features include Japan's highest open-air observation deck and distinctive double-floored elevators capable of reaching the top in 40 seconds. Its name derives from the Chūbu region, of which Nagoya is the capital.
