Toranomon Area: An evolving urban space

■Toranomon area property listings

Toranomon is one of several historic business districts in central Tokyo.
The fame of Toranomon as a center of global business is due in large part to its proximity to other vital nerve centers. Toranomon is within walking distance of the national-government district of Kasumigaseki, iconic business districts such as Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho, and embassy quarters such as Azabu, Akasaka and Roppongi.

In recent years, planning has gone forward on multiple large-scale development projects. To ensure that urban functions can be supported and continued in the event of disaster, buildings are being made earthquake-resistant and non-flammable, and introduction of autonomous, distributed energy systems is under way.

One such project is Toranomon Hills Station Tower, scheduled to break ground in fall 2023. Rising 49 stories above ground to a height of approximately 266 m, will be a multi-purpose complex developed in seamless integration with Toranomon Hills Station on Hibiya Line. Because city and station are developed as a cohesive whole, the station is planned to boast its own above-ground station plaza (a first for Tokyo subway stations) as well as a food market open daily from 7 AM to 11 PM.

Also, Azabudai Hills is slated to rise nearby, embracing offices, residences, a hotel, an international school, shopping and cultural facilities. Janu Tokyo, Japan’s first iteration of this luxury hotel chain that is sister to the Aman brand is also slated to open. The complex will include a central plaza boasting 6,000 sqm of green space, a soothing oasis of natural beauty to alleviate Tokyo’s “urban heat island” effect.
