Attachment: Toranomon-Azabudai Project
The Toranomon-Azabudai Project site lies adjacent to the ARK Hills complex at the midpoint between the“Cultural Heart of Tokyo” (Roppongi Hills) and the “Global Business Center” (Toranomon Hills), in an area withboth cultural and business personalities. Its vast 8.1-hectare site will be filled with lush greenery totaling
24,000m² of green space, including a 6,000m² central square. The complex will have a total floor area of
861,500m², including 213,900m² of office space, some 1,400 residential units and the A District Tower soaring
330 meters. The mixed-use site will be able to host some 20,000 employees and 3,500 residents as well as
welcome 25–35 million visitors annually, which is comparable in size to Roppongi Hills. This project will
constitute the “Hills of the future” by utilizing past experiences in the Hills-series of redevelopments.
Green & Wellness for enhanced lifestyles in a “Modern Urban Village”
The concept of the project is a “Modern Urban Village,” a huge open space filled with lush greenery, bringing
people closer together. The two pillars of this concept are “Green & Wellness.” Overwhelmingly verdant, adiverse community will assemble in an environment that is in harmony with nature, forming a new community
where people can achieve harmony with nature as well as connect with and inspire others through creativity.
Architectural planning of the project began with planning the flow of people and a seamless landscape with acentral square at the heart of the city. Proper locations were then considered for three high-rise towers tomelt into the lush greenery. This is the opposite of the traditional approach of placing the buildings first andthen filling in the rest of the space with greenery. By utilizing the topographical differences of the area andproviding greenery among the entire site—including the low-rise rooftops of podium buildings—we will
manage to produce a 24,000m² green space including a 6,000 m² central square in the heart of this city. Arelaxing atmosphere full of nature will be created in a seamless urban oasis filled with trees, flowers andwaterscapes, which will also alleviate the heat island phenomenon in the central area.
All 100% of the electricity supplied to the entire neighborhood will be renewable electricity, which will meet
the targets stipulated in the RE100 international environmental initiative led by the UK’s Climate Group. The
project will adopt technologies for high-level, large-scale energy efficiency and will support efforts by users of
the city to decarbonize.
In collaboration with Keio University, a core medical facility will be linked through a membership program witha spa, fitness clubs, a food market, restaurants, a central square and vegetable gardens. Working with external
facilities and medical institutions, the project envisages an urban environment allowing all those living andworking in it to enjoy “wellness.” Certification of these and other wellness attributes will be pursued underJapan’s CASBEE-WO (Wellness Office) system. The Toranomon-Azabudai Project will introduce solutions toaddress various modern-world issues, including low-carbon cities, biodiversity preservation and truly
enhanced health.

Pillars of the “Green & Wellness” concept

A city where various aspects of people's lives will be connected seamlessly
The Toranomon-Azabudai Project will result in an urban environment where various aspects of people’s lives—
working, living, relaxing, getting together, learning, playing—will be seamlessly connected. Rather thandesigning the city around facilities such as offices, residences and hotels, Mori Building is approaching thisdevelopment from the perspective of human activity by removing the barriers between facilities. Here, various
facilities will interact and collaborate, offering people the opportunity of totally new lifestyles; a place wherepeople can spend their lives in harmony with nature, where they will meet and live in a community, and where
they can live creative and stimulating lives. The entire city, full of greenery, will become a place of learning, aworkplace, a home, and a playground.
