Japan’s Tallest Building Now Complete

Pelli Clarke & Partners has completed the Mori JP Tower, now standing as Japan’s tallest building at 330 m, ArchDaily reports. Situated in the recently revitalized Azabudai Hills district, the 8.10-hectare design includes a comprehensive master plan and the construction of three high-rise towers. The development is expected to attract nearly 30 million visitors annually, symbolizing a forward-looking perspective on Tokyo’s urban revitalization. The top 11 floors of the Mori JP Tower have been designated as Aman Residences, Tokyo, under the hospitality company Aman. Two additional mixed-use buildings complement the surrounding landscape. The tower’s “Residence A” rises 53 floors, housing 32 residential units in addition to Aman’s flagship 122-key luxury hotel, which is scheduled to open this month. Meanwhile, “Residence B,” which features 64 floors, offers 970 residential units. To assure structural safety throughout Japan’s earthquake season, Azabudai Hills has included seismic-responsive design features across all three buildings. The development has received preliminary Platinum LEED certification in the neighborhood development category. Additionally, the Mori JP Tower is on track to become the first skyscraper in the world to receive accreditation for WELL, LEED ND, and LEED BD+C (CS).
