Japan’s leading urban developer JP–Mori Building has unveiled new renderings and identity of Toranomon Hills and announced the Fall 2023 opening date of Toranomon Hills Station Tower. Located in Toranomon Hills Global Business Center near Kasumigaseki, adjacent to ARK Hills, a lifestyle and cultural center, and within walking distance from Roppongi Hills Cultural Heart of Tokyo and Azabudai Hills Modern Urban Village, the Station Tower will stand at the terminus of Shintora-dori Avenue, Tokyo’s newly configured axial thoroughfare connecting Tokyo Bay to city center. The tower will add to, and connect, a series of freestanding mixed-use developments to establish Toranomon Hills as the new global hub of Tokyo.The Station Tower is a mixed-use, high-rise tower spanning 49-floors and reaching 266 m in height. Comprised of offices, commercial spaces, hotels and interactive communication facility TOKYO NODE, the tower will be integrated to the newly opened Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line station (2020) and function as a major transportation hub for Tokyo and beyond.To create the necessary, highly public interface to the tower, OMA has designed a building as an extension of the nature and activities of Shintora-dori Avenue. The base of the building, expressed as a large funnel, will open the heart of the building to draw the public inward. The T-DECK, a large-scale pedestrian bridge, will emphatically link the tower to the diverse Toranomon Hills developments to improve circulation and forge a lively network of activities and greenery.The bridge sectionally divides and defines two public zones at the tower base, an Upper Atrium and the Station Atrium below. The Station Atrium will integrate the development to the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. The Station Atrium, a three-story concourse flooded with natural light, will be the first of its kind in Tokyo and provide an exciting sense of arrival. The public activity at the base will extend vertically to form a central band of special areas for tower tenants.The top of the tower will be home to TOKYO NODE, a new type of facility devised together with Mori Building. A hybrid of flexible venue and innovative forum, it will be an interactive communication facility including halls, galleries, studio, garden, pool, and restaurants. TOKYO NODE will gather creative people and ideas to catalyze new values and experiences, disseminating content and information created by enhancing collaborations that transcend domains such as business, art, entertainment, technology, and fashion.
