The Mori JP Tower, Japan's tallest skyscraper, recently opened in the Minato region of Tokyo as part of the 80,000 square meter Azabudai Hills complex.
Soaring to a height of 330 meters with 64 floors above ground and an additional 5 below, the Mori JP Tower now holds the title of Japan's highest skyscraper.
Anticipating an annual influx of 30 million visitors, the tower features a diverse range of facilities, including stores, offices, institutes, and luxurious residences from the Aman Resorts hotel chain.
Naka Hiroki, a representative from the contracting firm Mori Building Co., highlighted in the opening speech that the project aims to position Tokyo as a competitive city on the international stage.
The Azabudai Hills complex, including the Mori JP Tower, is valued at an impressive $4.3 billion and is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk from Kamiyacho and Roppongi Itchome train stations.
Before the completion of Mori JP Tower, the title of Japan's tallest building belonged to the 300-meter Abeno Harukas in Osaka.
Construction is underway near Tokyo Station for another remarkable skyscraper owned by Mitsubishi Estate Co., expected to reach 390 meters upon completion in 2027.
This architectural marvel not only adds to Tokyo's skyline but also contributes significantly to the city's global competitiveness. The Mori JP Tower stands as a symbol of Japan's commitment to cutting-edge urban development and innovation.
