Image credit: Mori Building Co.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Japanese developer Mori Building broke ground this month a 64-storey building project that would break height records in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Rising up to 330 metres high above central Tokyo, the skyscraper will outrank the 300-metre-tall Abeno Harukas building in Osaka as Japan\u2019s tallest. The project is set for completion in March 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The skyscraper will be part of an 81,000-square-metre urban regeneration development in the Japanese capital\u2019s Azabudai-Toranomon district. Set to include one of the city\u2019s largest international schools, plus a luxury hotel and hospital, the project is aimed at revitalising an area of Tokyo as large as New York&#8217;s Rockefeller Center.<\/p>\n<p>The redevelopment is expected to set Mori Building back by about USD5.5-5.6 billion. With cutting-edge seismic designs and technologies, the project will allow the expected 20,000 workers and 3,500 residents to &#8220;carry on living and working even in the event of a major disaster on the scale of the Great East Japan Earthquake,&#8221; Mori Building promised in a statement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/hong-kong-tokyo-home-to-the-worlds-most-expensive-ultra-prime-houses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Hong Kong, Tokyo home to the world\u2019s most expensive ultra-prime houses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The complex will have a total built area of 860,000 square metres. More than 210,000 sqm of office space will be on offer, on top of 1,400 residential units.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccity-within-a-city\u201d development is a &#8220;massive challenge&#8221; to Mori Building, CEO Shingo Tsuji said in a press briefing Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While there is competition among cities, we need to offer more international-standard offices and housing in Tokyo,&#8221; he was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>A skyscraper being planned by rival developer Mitsubishi Estate is likely to snatch the height title, however. The 390-metre project is set for completion in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azabudai-Toranomon project to seize height record from Osaka\u2014but not for
