will continues....

Tokyo is always in a boom. lol

...and it does boxes well.

The reason that most scrapers are rarely rounded or curved in Tokyo is that land is so precious that developers build to the very corners of the sites. I notice a lot of the newer developments more and more than before, are including plaza with gardens. That's not particularly a new thing, but they are appearing at the bases more.

Thanks Chad :okay:

Thanks for the update!It was time to show the people the cnstruction boom in Tokyo

nice news from japan!

Those twin tokyo towers are plain boxes in shape but an interesting effect of looking like their a bit curved, either that or i'm just going wacko.. I love the gardens at the base of Midtown. Thanks for the update on one of the worlds greatest cities.

Amazin' projects, thanks for sharing. :)

Do the economists say Japan suffers recession?
Be it in Europe we'd call it an unprecedented prosperity!

Tokyo is soo nice! This proyects would make it look much better, i love the first one and that priceless location near Roppongi thats amazing, the skyline will rock right there.. Pure Glass!

and you call that handfull of projects a boom? :D

(just kidding)

Do Toyko have ratio for new building? like how much land they can build, how tall they can build and the ratio between open space and building?

I don't know wht is everyone so EXCITED... except Tokyo Building Reconstruction I don't think any of the buildings above are worthy of praise...

in terms of design it's boring old boxes
in terms of height it's all very so-so... just 40-50...
in terms of project scales they all pale in comparison to others around the world...

From my experience in Tokyo, the architectural gems are actually the smaller buildings in the shadows of these ugly ones... I saw lots of beutiful and interesting architecture around Harajuku and Shinjuku, particularly around the Meiji Temple...

More and more glass, all of them look neat.

Japan's tallest residential tower (200m) is going to be raised in Musashikosugi, Kawasaki city, just 1 km from Tokyo limits.

http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~building-pc/kawasaki/kawasaki-200.jpg

The left one will be 170m tall.

http://www.daikyo.co.jp/KOBETSU/MS031016/images_concept/spacer.gif
Interesting picture

disappointing.... they're ALL boxes. yeah, sure some of them have nice skins but this skyline is going to be as monotonous as the housing projects of kowloon.

:sleepy:

Thanks for the update. Excellent for a zone with teutonic mishaps.

I think tokyo's sky will fill up just as much as the ground has.

all of the projects are really great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like both Mid Town and Japan tallest residentails !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think details in japanese architecture are more minimalist ... i also like their smaller scale buildings ...

A piece of trivia: the Kinschi-cho redevelopment is on the site of the original Seiko watch factory.

Chad (or anyone), what is happening with the Shinjuku station redevelopment? I mean the area on the other side of the street from Tower Records, above the tracks next to Times Square...

disappointing.... they're ALL boxes. yeah, sure some of them have nice skins but this skyline is going to be as monotonous as the housing projects of kowloon.

We all love boxy towers!

They just like the plain simple boxy design but they are full of construction quality if you can see it closely.

Construction

Tokyo central area (Ginza,Marunouchi,Otemachi,Tokyo station,Akihabara etc)

I cant see the pictures lah...:(

Gotta love those "plain box" complaints here. A SSC trademark... :ohno:


Anyway, some awesome projects. I wonder what's happening with the Sumida Tower?

Tokyo is really boom. Most of those hundreds of highrises will be completed by 2008.
:eek:

Glad to see that more tallls are going up in Tokyo. It's got the density but now needs more height!

Yeh, I think the reason why all those towers rising in box shape is due to the limitation of the shape of all Japanese redevelopment land plot plans which all the company want to make the full profit out of it by create as much built-up space as possible.

Tokyo is always booming :D

Tokyo construction tower cranes are cool... looks so tough and big.. bigger than any tower crane in the rest of the world. Definitely tokyo's booming!

is this not impressive height wise??

http://www.sumida-tower.jp/gallery/images/hotel.jpg

I suppose its only 610 meters :cheers:

The height of this tower is impressive, but the shape is not very fascinating if compare with Tokyo tower. Bu the way, there are only low rise buildings
around it, The picture as I imagined " A supper high gaint with a group of ants" . I think is not necessary to build a such supper tall tower in there.
The height of the tower is better about the same as Tokyo tower as well.

tokyo gets my vote for the ugliest towers thats for sure!

mmm they are all too boxy! :(

I don't think it matters ^ ^
Boxy buildings are more space efficient, I guess that's why there is so much in Tokyo: because land is very expensive and cannot be wasted with un-needed architectural refinements ;-)

Lots of activity. Cingratulations Tokyo.
But... those towers are all pretty awful. Sorry...

According to my statistics (http://www.library.tudelft.nl/~egram/skylines.htm), Tokyo is the world's 3rd skyline after Hong Kong and New York.

tokyo gets my vote for the ugliest towers thats for sure!

But it is still modern nevertheless.

tokyo's obsession with 'refined/modified' boxes was pretty aesthetically successful in the beginning, but with all these new proposals and constructions that obsession is getting really TIRED.

but wow, that's a lot of construction and i think when you compile all the bldgs > 150M, tokyo might just be the third or fourth largest skyline on earth, even though nothing really stands out.

what a boom... Tokyo would be so n1 in 2008 (allmost all of these projeckt end in 2008 or before)

I love Tokyo!!!

Any updates?

Japan is great in terms of technology :D.

Can anyone here discuss in detail about how Tokyo can have so many hi-rise building, when it's situated in such an active seismic zone. What is the technology that's being used? These buildings have to be superstrong and flexible, to be able to withstand such poundings.

Thanks for the updates! It was a long time since the last one!

What I like about japanese skyscrapers is that they look large. They are massive.

Sadly most of building projects in Tokyo aren't very impressive.

But when they formed up together as a skyline, surely impressive indeed ;)

yes you are right!!! But the main factor I don't like of Tokyo skyscrapers is that they are almost all 200 meters high and the scenario is quite flat!!! Tokyo needs a super high skyscraper!! Like Financial center in Shanghai or the Empire State Building in N.Y.
What you think about????

they might look boring but like someone said here add it to the skyline these towers look great.

i like this cluster:

http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~building-pc/tokyo-kensetu/to-247akasaka.JPG

I agree with you! Mid-town shape is really amazing but the high is too less...I was for 100 meter more!

Tokyo, gambarimasho- ne! :okay:

Most look fine to me. Lots of boxes but nice ones. Strange render but love the Tokyo Mode School which Chad posted!!

"tokyo's obsession with 'refined/modified' boxes was pretty aesthetically successful in the beginning, but with all these new proposals and constructions that obsession is getting really TIRED."


On the other hand the density and size of Tokyo is maybe whats most spectacular about the city. Did anyone say urbanism?

those are nice.

the one that says Government Project at Kasumigaseki 3 Chome is it for government offices or foor the poorer a cheaper place to get apartments.

Do you think the shape of cube or box of most tokyo buildings is due by the vision of an equalitarian society? or it is simply the japanese vision of aesthetic?

I don't like boxy buildings very much?

Do you think the shape of cube or box of most tokyo buildings is due by the vision of an equalitarian society? or it is simply the japanese vision of aesthetic?

I think they just want to get the maximum floor space within the height limit?

Mmm look a bit boxy, but i love Japan anyway :)

I think they just want to get the maximum floor space within the height limit?

Could be!!! I like all new projects of Tokyo, just it needs a special landmark with a particular shape...

ugh... nothing special :-/ All these buildings are just boxes, and they aren't that tall for that matter :-/

Well the japanese usually always been very efficient and whats more space efficient than a box ;)

I really can t understand why Tokyo hasn't buildings with innovative and amazing shape!! Someone can explain me why?????

I really can t understand why Tokyo hasn't buildings with innovative and amazing shape!! Someone can explain me why?????

well, maybe regular boxes are more resistant to earthquakes than extravagant shapes.

When real supertalls comming for this town.

Great stuff!

"and ofcouse, The approved 610 Meters Sumida Tower"

This is really going to be built! thats awesome, please i dont know how to read japanesem, someone explane this glorious building!!!

For me, Tokyo is always impressive.

Sumida Tower is not yet been approved!
I think Tokyo will be much more imprsessive when Sumida Tower, Nishi shinjuku 3 chome project, Mid-town Tower and Tokyo station redevelopement will be completed!!

Anyone know the square footage of these developments in Tokyo?

I really don't know. That's an interesting question!!...

I'm not impressed with any of these boxes. I guess they aren't building anything else due to the fact that japan is so small for such a big population- land is expensive. Soon they will start building underground cities unless of course they invade another country... history does have a tendency of repeating itself.

日本人要吃烤鸭时说：八个鸭肉！Nej inte anka. Jag ska ha nyponsoppa!

not really impressed. architecture is rather cheap but don't get me wrong this is great for tokyo.

That's true...shapes are not amazing but Tokyo is just great!!...Buildings are much more modern than any other city in the world.
I am sure in the future also Tokyo will have buildings with nice shapes as Sumida Tower and Mode Gakuen projects...

not really impressed. architecture is rather cheap but don't get me wrong this is great for tokyo.
what do you mean by cheap? is it because its boxy??
most architectures in Tokyo are much more expensive than skyscrapers in other cities.

I was suprised about the building boom in Tokyo. Now what the city needs is a supertall!

well maybe this was the wrong word, i should have said "poor" archticture, what i mean is that the designs are not very creative or special.

well maybe this was the wrong word, i should have said "poor" archticture, what i mean is that the designs are not very creative or special.There are still far more creative and sexy scrapers in Tokyo than Dubai. Towers like the Metropolitan Government Building, Shinjuku Park Tower, Roppongi Hills Tower, Dentsu Headquarters at Shiodome, NTV Headquarters, and Atago Green Hills Tower are all at least as pretty and/or impressive as the Burj al Arab which is currently the only memorable completed building in Dubai. I think Tokyo's skyscrapers are very under-rated.

Yes I agree with you, Monkey. But let me underline that except Tokyo Tower there is not a real landmark in Tokyo. I think chuo-ku should have a super high-rise building. From Tokyo bay the panorama could be much much more impressive.
Even though Tokyo is simply GREAT!!!

^ It's true that Tokyo lacks world famous landmarks. There is no Tokyo equivalent of Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Red Square/Kremlin etc. The iconic image of Japan is a Shinkansen bullet train streaking past Mt Fuji rather than any Tokyo building. Other Japanese icons such as samurai swords, kimonos, geisha, or sushi will also spring to mind. However that does not mean that people around the world have no images to associate with Tokyo. If you mention "Tokyo" to most British people the image they are most likely to picture are the neon-soaked futuristic streetscapes found in districts like Shinjuku or Shibuya.

That´s not a boom, its just regular construction activity in Tokyo, the same stands for São Paulo. In 2005 230 high-rises were completed there and according to local newspapers 2005 construction activity decreased about 15% from 2004.

I think u are quite right....but if you consider all the project from now to 2010 it is really having a boom!!...

Well, Tokyo always is changing and adding new highrises to its impressive skyline, and i have no doubts that the activity will never stop...

I agree with many forumers that Tokyo lacks a supertall, just take the example of Taipei, that city is located in a place where earthquakes happens frequently, and they built the world tallest building...

I completly agree with Javier. I think the main reason Tokyo has not a supertall is due by the high limits. It is caused by the Haneda airport near the city center chuo-ku.
Even so I am still thinking Tokyo needs a supertall (from 300 to 350 m.) in the bay area.

^^ thats exactly the reason for unexisting supertalls in Tokyo. There are many buildings with similar heights: Metropolitan government (243m), Mid Town tower (248m), Yoyogi RC (240m), Sunshine 60 (239), City Opera (235), Shinjuku Park (235), all located in Shinjuku

This is the reason why Sumida Tower (600 m) is far from city center! Sumida ku is far from the riverside skyline and the panorama will be unchanged there.
Anyway I am still hoping Tokyo will have a supertall as soon as possible!

Any new projets?

amazing!!! thank you...I think the new building in shinjuku is just amazing!!! the shape is simply soo futuristic!
By the way there is any picture about the toranomon and shinbashi buildings?
I read that shinbashi will be completely renewed, also because of the loop road 2.

mmm..... Great!!

I really can t understand why Tokyo hasn't buildings with innovative and amazing shape!! Someone can explain me why?????

Tokyo has some of the most unique buildingdesigns in the world. When it comes to functionality, facades and ornaments etc. Where else can u see a building shaped like a robotbug? (if i remember it correct that was what it resembled)

yes that`s true...lately i am changing my mind about tokyo skyline!!..specially the new shinjuku buildings is one of the most innovative...

good for tokio

extremly small lands... how boring city...

land must be like that... wide and huge.

yes right..without anything in it!! ah ah ah...no other country has the luxury buildings japan has...

extremly small lands... how boring city...

Tokyo is still the city of high tech, not exactly just becouse they would have better technology but becouse they are in need of new solutions all the time becouse of the size and density.

extremly small lands... how boring city...
Istanbul is just a small provincial town compared to Tokyo, so Istanbul needs to build big buildings to look like something and it has enough space to do it. A world city like Tokyo, by far the biggest city in the world doesn't need to proof itself with extravagant big buildings. Instead they build extravagant smaller buildings. And why, because Tokyo can because it doesn't have anything to loose. It will remain one of the most exiting cities in the world whatever they build.

On second thought, why am I even seriously responding to this ignorance.

On second thought, why am I even seriously responding to this ignorance.LOL Exactly. Tokyo = boring!? :lol:

We need some serious updates Tokyo forumers! Please.

Thanks AKIRAsan for posting those projects.

yes thanks Akira san for these projects...

Don't think the moderators aren't watching!

FUUUUUUUU!!!!

Why don't they build skyscrapers, that are taller, i know there are earth quake problems but i think they have technology that can combat the harm done by earth quakes. I also heard somehwere that they don't build skyscrapers so that they don't disrupt the temples that are nearby, but i'm not sure.

Can anybody clarify?

extremly small lands... how boring city...

:lol: This　is soooooooo funny...but the joke was pushed further by posting an ex battlefield or a brownfiled site picture featuring a road with 3 cars and 1 van on it, and rusty roofs... :lol:
You're right man, when I see this pic, I gotta tell me Tokyo is nothing compared to the paradise you showed us!

Thanks for making me laugh like this, but you need to know that even a "third class" (no negative meaning) city in Japan may be richer than your beloved Istanbul, so think about Tokyo...

The problems are several. First, in Minato area and the bay area there is an high limit due to the Haneda airport. Haneda airport is located in the bay area and is one of the most crowded in the world.
Second, around the emperor palace there is an high limit because the emperor family panorama is considered more important (mmmmmmm!!!!)
Third, I remember you that in Shinjuku there is a plan for a 350 meter building...and near Asakusa from 2008 they' ll build the tallest (not building) tower in the world 610 meter.

cool updates, many thx :)

great updates! can't believe that tokyo has so many boxy buildings but they do it so well that its pretty much a part of being in japan. progress on coccoon tower is goin fast can't wait to see the end result looking forward to visiting tokyo soon.

Nice update!!!! Does anybody think the boom of contruction is going to slow a bit in Tokyo?

It's logical that tokyo can't build very high rises just beacuse of earthquake!!!

I loved neo tokyo in akira . it is an amazing city!!

Cocoon Tower is designed in similar style to Bird Nest Stadium in Beijing (in a great style, I must add :).

wow...that cocoon tower....:nuts:

Greater Tokyo...the greatest expression of urbanity that humanity has ever physically-realized. :yes:

Tokyo is, truly, a 'god'-city. :bow:

This whole country is on steroids i tell ya... Non-stop building! I'll get there sometimes ;)

Hi everyone! I´m from Tijuana, Mexico and i will go to Tokyo on next month flying in the relatively new and only non-stop fly between Latin America and Asia by Aeromexico.

Well, i want to know if the Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Tokyo is a well located hotel. I mean, if there are some places to visit nearby or what can you tell me about it?

I will appreciate a lot the information.

I believe this hotel is in Ikebukuro, which is off the Yamanote Line, a major rail line that connects to many places of interest. It can also be used to connect to most other major rail/metro lines. It's more a question of where do you want to go?

You'll most likely want to get around by train/metro (taxi = more expensive), so figure out where you want to go and what station(s) they are near. Then use a map like the one below to plan your travels (I suggest printing it out).

Ikebukuro is in big, bold letters toward the top left hand corner.

*Note - the Yamanote Line is the gray/white, thinner, checkered line.

Don't let the map intimidate you. If you take the time to study it, you'll get more out of you limited time in Tokyo.

I went to Tokyo last year using the same flight from AeroMexico. If you bought the "Gran Plan" and you have hotel nights included, I would recomend you the Hotel I stayed in: Shinagawa Prince Hotel. I enjoyed my time there and is located directly infront of one of the most important Metro/Train stations: Shinagawa . :cheers:

Thanks to both for the information! I´ll keep it on mind! :D

Some nice projects going on there :> last time i were in tokyo i staid at Ueno First City Hotel. Also a hotel to recommend, cheap and clean. It was located not far away from Ueno station, one of the biggest, i think it may be third biggest after Shinjuku and Tokyo. It has direct connection to the Keisei line which host trains all the way east to Narita Airport.

world's largest subwoofer

There is a proposal for a 200-metre tower that will incorporate the facade of the Tokyo Central Post Office Building (built 1933) into its base. Here is a link to the proposal:

Two projects.
