This City-Within-a-City Full of Greenery is Scheduled for Completion in March 2023.
TOKYO, Japan - Feb. 28, 2022 - PRLog -- The Toranomon-Azabudai Project site encompasses a long, narrow district running from east to west, originally broken up by hills and valleys within convoluted terrain. The fragmented district was populated with small, old wooden houses and buildings, many of which were deteriorating. Overall, the city infrastructure needed an upgrade. In response, the "Council for Creating Cities" was established in 1989 in collaboration with some 300 rights holders. However, it took nearly 30 years to discuss and plan the Toranomon-Azabudai area's revitalization. In 2017, the Redevelopment Plan was approved as a designated National Strategic Special Zone: https://www.mori.co.jp/en/projects/toranomon_azabudai/

Green & Wellness Enhance Lifestyle
The concept of the Toranomon-Azabudai Project is a "MODERN URBAN VILLAGE" that consists of two pillars "GREEN" and "WELLNESS". The project will seamlessly weave offices, residences, a hotel, an international school, retail shops, restaurants and cultural facilities into the fabric of everyday life, encompassing work, learning, recreation, interaction, and relaxation. This visionary project also aims to create "a city within a city," which will constitute the "Hills of the future" by utilizing past experiences in the Hills-series of redevelopments. One-hundred percent of the electricity supplied to the entire neighborhood will come from renewable sources, meeting the targets stipulated in the RE100 international environmental initiative led by the UK's Climate Group. The Toranomon-Azabudai Project received top Platinum-level LEED ND (Neighborhood Development, v.4) precertifications, which is the first project in Tokyo to be precertified Platinum in the ND category. In addition, the A District of the Toranomon-Azabudai Project received WELL (Core,v.2 Pilot) precertifications, which is the world's largest property precertification standard.

This new city will have a total floor area of 861,500m², including 213,900m² of office space, approximately 1,400 residential units, and the A district tower soaring to a height of nearly 330 meters.
