Japan's highest skyscraper, at 330 meters, completed in Tokyo. Mori Building Co. announced on Monday that it has finished construction on Japan's tallest building, which stands at a height of 330 meters and is located in the middle of Tokyo. This building is 30 meters taller than the previous title holder.
The Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower skyscraper is a crucial component in the redevelopment of a region in Minato Ward that will completely open as Azabudai Hills this autumn. Minato Ward is a district that is filled with big office buildings and luxury apartments.
The new structure has a total of 65 stories, 64 of which are above ground, and five of which are underground. The top levels of the building are comprised of homes, while luxury hotel operator Aman Resorts is responsible for providing the spa and other special facilities.
According to Mori Building, it is anticipated that it would serve as a home for the British School in Tokyo as well as a medical facility that is run by Keio University. In addition, it will reportedly house business offices as well as retail stores and restaurants.
The Azabudai Hills Project
The tower's completion, announced on Monday, takes the huge Azabudai Hills complex one step closer to its projected autumn launch. According to a newsstatement issued by building developer Mori Building Co., the project has been under development since 2019, with only "final touches" remaining in the coming months.

According to the statement, the building, one of many in the construction, would be multi-purpose, housing branded hotel apartments, office spaces, a university medical center, retail stores and restaurants, and the largest international school in central Tokyo.
The project, which spans more than 8 hectares (almost 20 acres), intends to reinvigorate the entire neighborhood by integrating a spa, fitness clubs, an art gallery, and a museum on-site. The different structures will form a "city within a city," according to the developers.
Pelli Clarke & Partners, a prominent US architecture firm, designed the skyscrapers. Heatherwick Studio in the United Kingdom created one of the development's low-rise components.
Architects who previously worked on the project told CNN that the residential interiors pay respect to Japanese craftsmanship and lifestyles, such as the typical layout of Japanese homes.
Although many of Japan's highest buildings were erected before the turn of the century, the country was previously famed for its technical achievements and fast urban expansion. In the meantime, other nations have rushed ahead, building ever-taller skylines – the Azabudai Hills skyscraper is still overshadowed by buildings in New York, Taiwan, and Dubai.
According to its website, the development surrounding that tower would also contain flora and open spaces, and will become "the largest city block" in the Japanese capital.
Final Words
Prior to the completion of the new landmark, the Abeno Harukas in Osaka, which stands 300 meters tall, held the title of the highest structure in the country.
However, the Azabudai Hills building is anticipated to be eclipsed by another skyscraper in the fiscal year 2027. This is due to the fact that the Mitsubishi Estate Co. is now in the process of constructing a building that will stand at 390 meters near Tokyo Station.
