Something about the layout of Japanese cities makes me drool. They aren't architecturally beautiful but they are so engrossing and stunning.

I counted the floors and it has reached 30 of 30 with newest 3 floors. It's not topped out though since one side there will be kind of a roof feature that is part of the overall design.

I don't really like how this tower turned out. It's just a bit too plain, and the angled roof doesn't do it for me.

I don't really like it either but it should definately help the street level.

Yeah, I was expecting a little bit more. Anyway is way WAY better than the typical residential towers in Japan. I know they have another purpose than of beauty, but they are just ugly.

Anyway. I really like this mini-cluster of highrises.

I actually like this building, most people complain that Japan has to many boxy skyscrapers, at least this one has a slanted roof. I love the lines of this building its very modernist.

The same is for me. Maybe it's plain, but it has something in it's "plainness".

Momo1435, thanks for update ;)

Great addition to Minato Mirai skyline. This building is different but in a good way. The facade is so impressive.

The tower will be completed late February.

Construction completed.

official press statement:
http://www.mitsuifudosan.co.jp/corporate/news/2012/0207/


It will now be part of an energy saving test program called "Yokohama Smart City Project" that should go nationwide in 2014. It's basically a supply and demand system, the goal is to reduce the energy production by adjusting the output of energy and energy use of the buildings in real time to the actual demand.

This one didn't have a proper completion update yet.

Really nice addition :)

Yeah, no signs that the construction is over around the building. I think it's not inaugurated yet.

It's completed, Mitsui even had a press release out that had the title 竣工のお知らせ "Completion notice".

But that's something different then the opening of the building, there are clearly no tenants for the office yet. And the shops and restaurants also haven't opened yet, but that will surely happen before the model railway museum will open it's doors this summer.
