Abeno Lucias is a large mixed-use commercial building located along Abenosuji in Abeno Ward, Osaka City. It is connected to the adjacent Abeno Apollo complex by a passageway. The 16-story building stands approximately 85 meters high and is particularly notable for its enormous atrium, which extends all the way to the cinema complex floor.
Locally known as the “Lucias Building,” the facility houses a diverse range of tenants, including entertainment, shopping, dining, fitness, education, and office facilities.
