This project was already known for some time, just without too many details.

Now it has been revealed that the tower will be 210m tall, construction will start in 2019, it will be completed 5 years later. The developer is Mori Trust. It replaces the Akasaka Twin Towers, which were demolished a couple of years ago.

The latest news is that this project was added to a list of projects promoted by the national government as National Strategic Urban Planning / Building Projects.

With this national designation the final approval from the local governments has only become a formality. The start of construction is still only scheduled for next year.
