Significant design consideration was given to create an environment for active Japanese seniors that would be culturally sensitive, appealing, and residential in character while providing residents with amenities and services equivalent to a five-star hotel. Sun City Tower Kobe includes 483 independent living units and range in size from 40 to 100 sqm. The distinguishing glassy "lantern" at the top of the southwest corner of the tower is a signature element housing the project's premium units. 80 skilled nursing units are located in the lower 3-story base.

The primary goal was to create a rich diversity and identity of amenities at ground level that take fullest advantage of light, sun, and gardens. Public amenities include various lounges, library, atelier, mahjong, karaoke, billiards, and a 500-seat auditorium for events, dancing, and wellness classes. Full fitness facilities including pool, spa, exercise, and massage rooms compliment social amenities. The Sky Lounge and restaurant provides community dining with spectacular views from the 34th floor and ensure a commanding sense of comfort and luxury. A richly landscaped central courtyard offers garden views from the project's ground floor public spaces and connects with an interior loop promenade.
