Azabudai Hills – Toranomon Azabudai Redevelopment Project

Poste date: Thursday, July 6, 2023

The Azabudai Redevelopment Project, whose construction began on August 5, 2019, will finally be completed in the fall of 2023. The construction of Block A (Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower) and Block C (Garden Plaza) was completed on 30 June, with a completion ceremony held on 3 July.

It will be the birth of “MODERN URBAN VILLAGE” named “Azabudai Hills”, a city surrounded by lush greenery like a “square” that connects people. By greening the entire site, “Azabudai Hills” aims to be a space where you can enjoy the healing power of nature while in central Tokyo, and to be a city which contributes to mitigating the urban heat-island phenomenon.

The nearest stations to “Azabudai Hills” are “Kamiyacho Station” on Metro Hibiya Line and “Roppongi-itchome Station” on Metro Namboku Line. The city consists of 3 high-rise buildings, 4 low-rise buildings, and a large square where many people can spend a relaxing time.
