"4PLA", or 4th Chome Plaza, was once loved by Sapporo residents and was familiar as a symbol of youth culture. A new commercial facility, "4PLA", will open on its former site in the summer of 2025! The name of the entire building is "Sapporo 4th Chome Place". The first basement floor to the third floor above ground will be developed as the commercial area "4PLA", and the fourth to thirteenth floors will be office space. We will introduce the highlights of "4PLA", which will feature many attractive spaces that will become a new symbol of Sapporo, such as a food and drink bar, a meeting spot where you can watch the tram, and an indoor park!

"4PLA" appearance

"4PLA" will be located in the Odori area, the heart of Sapporo, at the "4-chome Jujigai" scramble intersection at Minami 1 Nishi 4. This is the location where "4-chome Plaza," a popular youth culture hub, stood for 50 years. "4PLA" has evolved for a new era while inheriting that history and the nickname "4-pla."

The name of the building is "Sapporo 4-chome Place." The basement floor to the third floor will be a commercial facility called "4PLA," and the fourth to thirteenth floors will be used as office space. In addition, the first and third floors will be a shared space called "Machi no Living" that anyone can use, and it will become a new hub in the Odori district of Sapporo, visited by Sapporo residents and tourists alike.

The stores that will be the face of the building are "Tudor Boutique Sapporo by BOLTE," "Arc'Teryx Sapporo Brand Store," and "Gong Cha Sapporo 4-chome Place Store."

It features a spacious space with a ceiling height of 5.5m, and can be used for a wide range of occasions, from lunch to drinking at night. In addition, art made from upcycled interior materials used in the former "4th Plaza" will be displayed. It will be a space where the past and the future intersect.

4PLA SPOT

The first floor is lined with retail stores that are the face of the building, as well as a new meeting spot for Odori, "4PLA SPOT." Located right in front of the tram "Nishi 4-chome Station" and adjacent to a cafe stand, it's the perfect place to meet up or take a quick break with a cup of coffee. It's sure to be a convenient and comfortable space for users of the Sapporo tram and subway.

4PLA PARK

The second and third floors are lined with shops where you can enjoy shopping and eating and drinking. The highlight is the indoor park "4PLA PARK" on the third floor. With plants and artificial turf, it is like an urban park that can be enjoyed even in winter. This area also has container-type stores, making it a great place to drop in for a quick shopping trip or a break. In addition, the outer perimeter is an outdoor terrace where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Sapporo city.

Artworks will be exhibited in sequence in the shared spaces "Town Living" and "ODORiBA Odori Bar" inside 4PLA. With the hope that 4PLA will become a place of new activity and provide visitors with the enjoyment of visiting 4PLA, we will collaborate with a wide range of creators, including locals, startups, and universities, to create works.

Various art productions in the museum in collaboration with "Heralbony"

As part of an effort to create a lively atmosphere on the road surface, the temporary enclosure surrounding 4PLA's new building is currently exhibiting six works by five artists, mostly from Hokkaido, who are intellectually disabled, in collaboration with Heralbony Co., Ltd. These works have been cleaned and turned into panels, and will continue to be exhibited inside the building after it opens.

In the town living room on the third floor, art data from four artists contracted by the company will be used to create a unique and distinctive spatial presentation.

Upcycling unused local resources into paint in collaboration with "NULL"

Sapporo has streets that make use of materials unique to the region, such as bricks and Sapporo soft stone, and the long-loved fashion building "4-chome Plaza" also had a brick-themed interior. 4PLA will work with "NULL" to turn unused local resources that would normally be discarded, such as bricks and Sapporo soft stone scraps, into paint, and use it to create artwork for the planters in the town living room on the third floor and the ODORiBA Odori Bar on the first basement floor.

Collaboration with local artists in cooperation with the "Re-Bear Project"

Ie's Co., Ltd., which is promoting the "Re-Bear Project," and the "wooden carved bears" that have been lying dormant in the homes and warehouses of people with ties to Sapporo, will reinvent the "wooden carved bears" as art pieces together with local artists selected through a public competition, and display them as new homes for the bears within the 4PLA building.

It's extremely accessible! It's directly connected to the Odori subway station, and is also right in front of the Nishi 4-Chome tram station. It's located in the center of Sapporo, so it's easy to access from anywhere.

"4PLA" and "Sapporo 4-chome Place" have inherited the history of "4-chome Plaza" while evolving into the future. They are filled with spaces that make everyday life a little more special, such as an underground bar, an indoor park, and convenient shared spaces. With this advance opening as a turning point, we can't wait for the grand opening in the summer of 2025!
