The 164.32m high Naka-Meguro Atlas Tower



You can have a very nice view if you live high up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is also a new plan for a 180m high tower on one of the islands in Koto close to Shinonome Station on the Rinkai Line. I haven't seen any pictures of the design, but most likely it will a standard Japanese residential tower.

Official news of the construction start.
http://www.mori.co.jp/company/press/...000001739.html

They say it started yesterday (10/7) but I doubt they did any actual work with the typhoon that came over Tokyo. I will make a new thread in the Skyscrapers sections soon, it's not the best looking tower but it's the highest U/C in Tokyo not counting the Sky Tree of course.

This one will go U/C later this year, even with the economic crisis all these +/- 200m towers keep springing out of the ground in Tokyo.

It looks like the buildings in Berlin.

[Momo1435]

Let's move out of Tokyo and into the metropolitan area, lets start with Yokohama.

Yokohama Mitsui Building (横浜三井ビルディング)

start construcion: 10/2009
completion date: 12/2012

With a 10 month delay the 4th tallest building in Yokohama finally goes U/C in the Minato Mirai 21 area. It will house, shops, offices and a Model Railroad Museum and will be completed at the end of 2012.

The construction was supposed to start in March 2009 but economic crisis is probably the reason why it has been delayed without a new set start date.

A4 sector tower



function: office, residential, & hotel
Height: 220m
stories: 50

A2 sector tower

function: residential
Height: 170m
stories: 42

This project started with the demolition of the site, but when the construction should have started it was put on hold by Mori. On their website they say the A3 (lowrise) and A4 sectors will go on construction first and will be finished in 2012, it remains to be seen when they will actually start the construction.

It seems that the economic crisis has a bigger effect on Yokohama then on Tokyo when it comes to construction projects.

[Momo1435]

I almost forgot that their is also a +/- 200m project in Shinjuku because they are still digging the basement floors without going upwards. But it will be interesting to follow together with the JP Tower and it's neighbour the Otemachi 1-6 Plan and the Toranomon-Roppongi project the coming years.

They might not stick out too much in the Skyline, but they will make it more dense (and there's always the Sky Tree for bit of extra height in the skyline). And with the economy going back on track right we might see more and more of these 200m high towers going up in the near future.

Looks like Yokohama will have a really large skyline in a few years.

However, I can't help but wonder where all this demand in Japan comes from. I mean everyone can understand the boom in the Chinese cities, but Japan is a developed country with lots of A-grade office space, a stagnating economy and a rapidly decreasing population.

[Momo1435]

You describe Japan, Tokyo has been less affected by the declining population and stagnating economy.

The last few years Tokyo's demand for Office space has been pretty good with a steady decline in vacancy rates and increasing prices since a dip in 2003. The vacancy rates have been below 3% for a couple of years until the 1st Quarter of 2008, there was a clear demand for new office space. But even before the crisis the vacancy rates started to increase, up to 7,5% in July 2009. It has has been pretty stable since then, it's one of the signs that the worst of the crisis is already over for Japan.

Most of the projects that have started construction recently or about to start soon are developments that started before 2008. We will probably see a drop in new office developments in the next few years until the market really picks up and all the current projects are completed. Japan is still undergoing a change from a industrial economy to a service economy, this will keep a demand for new office space. Plus the regional developments, with the still growing economies of Korea and China will also have a positive effect on the Japanese economy with increasing trade relations, especially now the tensions between the countries slowly start to ease.
