Next Friday will see the inauguration of Japan's tallest building, the Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, a glitzy complex of three skyscrapers that - at a height of 330 metres - will surpass the previous title holder Abeno Harukas in Osaka by 30 metres. The building was unveiled to the media yesterday.

​

The building is the main feature of the Azabudai Hills complex slated to open on Friday, with the developer aiming to transform and rebuild an area formerly clustered with small wooden homes that were vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes. In addition to office space and apartments, the multipurpose complex contains a medical institution operated by Keio University, Aman Resorts' upscale hotel, high-end restaurants, luxury shops and the British School in Tokyo.

Real or AI?

I was looking at this building at breakfast a couple weeks ago thinking that's a neat building.

Some 30 million people are expected to visit the Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower and its surrounding facilities each year, said Mori Building Co., the developer of the 640 billion JPY (USD 4.3 billion) complex. The 64-story tower, which contains offices from its fifth to 52nd floors, beats the previous title holder Abeno Harukas in Osaka by 30 metres and is almost as tall as Tokyo Tower, which stands at 333 meters. The building is the main feature of the Azabudai Hills complex, which features expansive green space and houses 122 rooms of Aman Resorts' upscale hotel, as well as 1,400 residential units. High-end restaurants, luxury shops, teamLab's digital art museum and the British School are also contained in the complex.
