Arasaka Tower

Arasaka Tower is a massive skyscraper located in the Corporate Plaza of Night City. It acts as the North American branch headquarters for the Arasaka Corporation. Built on the site of the previous Arasaka Towers, the new building stands as the tallest structure in Night City in 2077, becoming a symbol of its neomilitaristic skyline.
==History==
===2070 - 2074===
After the Unification War ended in 2070, Arasaka was welcomed back to North America, acquiring the permission to build a new office center. The Japanese corporation chose the site of the former Arasaka Towers in Night City. Once they had cleaned up the remaining ruins, they immediately started to build their new office tower. As a tribute to the 2023 incident, a portion of the original building was left and repurposed into a memorial. When finalized, the imposing tower stood at a height of 620m (2034ft).
In 2074, the Night City Perspective mediacorp considered the Tower's Arasaka Academy as the best secondary institution of Night City.Arasaka Academy: Best of the Best, or Best for the Best?
===2076===
In 2076, after becoming a renowned mercenary, David Martinez — former Arasaka Academy student — reached the top of Arasaka Tower in order to easily access one of its AV landing zones. He did this to rescue Lucy Kushinada and confront Faraday. A battle against Adam Smasher ensued soon after, which eventually ended in Memorial Park in front of Arasaka Tower. - Let You Down, Like A Boy, Humanity, My Moon My Man

After the death of Saburo Arasaka in 2077, Yorinobu became the corporation's new CEO and could often be found on tower's upper floors.

Within the lobby an announcer is heard talking of Arasaka propaganda in Japanese. Holographic Japanese plants with a red glow can be seen accompanying the couches.

;Saburo Arasaka's Office
Saburo's personal office is located on the Unlisted Levels within Arasaka Tower. He ordered for a replica of his office from Tokyo HQ to be constructed in every Arasaka headquarters in the world and as such, his Night City office is among the replicas. The office consists of Saburo's desk and chair, and a hidden elevator to the right. A large Smart Glass screen is on the wall behind his seat that shows a representation of a view of Downtown.

==Notes==
*In the 2070s, Arasaka employees at their Night City headquarters told new recruits that if they didn't meet the deadline, the ghost of a man split in two would get them. However, most of the employees don't know that the ghost is supposed to be Johnny Silverhand, as very few remember him.The Ballad of Buck Ravers (quest) (Corpo dialogue option choice when talking with Karim Noel)
*In , a few meters above the rooftop walking area of the tower, there is a small - and hard to find - button floating on the air, which when activated calls an elevator that stops right there. Its roof is protected with fences, making it the tallest and safest point in the game to view the whole of Night City, the Badlands and the mountains beyond. Since it cannot be reached by normal means, it was probably left by developers for this view purpose.
*Due to the 2077 building being used in the 2013/23 flashbacks, all those locations are found gameplay-wise within the tower, including two Saburo offices, one of which is found on the western area of the building, with a view to the sea; and the other on the eastern part; viewing Westbrook.
