New Toranomon Station on
the Hibiya subway line
(tentative name)Toranomon Hills Business Tower (tentative name), which is planned to be completed by December 2019, will offer
94,000m2 of office space spread across 36 floors. An Innovation Center on the fourth floor will serve as a focal
point where corporations and venture companies will interact and collaborate. Some 6,300m2 of space will be forshops and restaurants to expand and enrich the Toranomon business community. The tower also will house a large
bus facility comprising a new BRT station connecting Tokyo’s central and waterfront areas and a terminal
connecting the Toranomon area directly to two international airports serving Tokyo. The sum of thesedevelopments is sure to transform the Toranomon area into a primary Tokyo gateway for international business.
Toranomon Hills Residential Tower (tentative name), which is expected to be completed by April 2020, will offer
550 premium residential units, unprecedented for the Toranomon area. At 220m and 54 floors, this will be thetallest residential tower in Japan. Residential options will include spacious residential units and convenientserviced apartments, both offering the Mori Living residential brand’s highest standards of luxury. Special features
will include Mori Living’s sixth membership-only Hills Spa with a 25m pool, gym and beauty salon. A 200m2 party
lounge and guestrooms will further enhance the unparalleled experience of living in Toranomon Hills ResidentialTower.
German architect Christoph Ingenhoven, who has directed the external designs of both towers, says, “ToranomonHills’ new business and residential towers will blend harmoniously with the existing Toranomon Hills Mori Tower. I
designed the towers based on Mori Building’s Vertical Garden City concept and with careful consideration for theharmony of the towers’ vertical and horizontal lines, and also to connect them with the surrounding green spaces,including Mt. Atago. Rooftop landscaping will help mitigate the heat-island phenomenon while giving definition tothe buildings themselves. I am confident that the design and environmental performance of these two new towers
will strengthen Toranomon Hills as a global business hub.”NY-based designer Tony Chi, the interior designer of Toranomon Hills Residential Tower, who was also responsible
for Andaz Tokyo and the Toranomon Hills residence at the existing Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, says, “It is mygreat joy to undertake the interior design of Toranomon Hills Residential Tower, an inspiring and visionaryresidential development of the Mori Living series. It will be a home for those that appreciate global culture andlifestyle built on local heritage, a duality of tradition and contemporary life. I hope to see Toranomon Hills
established as a community inspired by yesterday and looking towards tomorrow, a new destination for Tokyo.”
Japanese interior designer Masamichi Katayama, who is in charge of interior design for the retail facilities atToranomon Hills Business Tower, says, “During the medieval Edo period, Toranomon was close to Edo castle so it
was famous for shops catering to the needs of the shogun, feudal lords and samurai, all of whom were nearby. I
designed the lower part of the Toranomon Hills Business Tower with a strong awareness of the area’s rich history
and traditions.”
Looking further ahead, Toranomon Hills will gain further momentum as an international hub and global businesscenter when Mori Building completes the third tower, Toranomon Hills Station Tower, which is scheduled to open
in 2022.
Upon completion, the total area of the Toranomon Hills complex will reach about 7.5 ha, including the four
Toranomon Hills towers, new transport stations, roads and green space. There will be about 800,000 m2 of total
floor space, approximately equivalent to that of Roppongi Hills, including about 300,000 m2 of office space and26,000 m2 of retail space.
