On March 24, Tokyo Tatemono announced that it received approval from the governor of Tokyo for the Kyobashi 3-chome East Urban Area Redevelopment Project Type 1, which it has been promoting since 2017, for its rights conversion plan.
The project involves the construction of a large complex facility with offices, a hotel, and stores in the area at the nexus of Kyobashi and Ginza. The building will have 3 basement levels and 35 floors above ground (height: approximately 180 m), with a site area of approximately 6,820 m2 and a total floor area of approximately 166,800 m2.
The adjacent Kyobashi 3-chome-1 district is home to Tokyo Square Garden, which is also managed and operated by Tokyo Tatemono.
Compared to the previous announcement (establishment of the partnership in April 2024), construction is scheduled to begin more specifically in December 2026, and the completion schedule has been postponed from FY2030 to FY2032. The office and retail space is scheduled to open first in FY2030, and the hotel in FY2032.
An underground station plaza and pedestrian walkway will be directly connected to Kyobashi Station, allowing visitors to travel to and from Tokyo Station via an underground network, as well as a lush indoor plaza connected to the Tokyo Sky Corridor, a public space that will be reborn from the former Tokyo Expressway (KK Line). The plaza will utilize the upper space of the Nishi-Kyobashi Building, Tokyo-bashi Building, and Shin-Kyobashi Building.
The hotel is described as “an international standard accommodation facility with ancillary facilities with a high level of service that meets the demand of foreign tourists and business workers,” and the specific brand and number of rooms have not yet been disclosed.
In addition, there will be a center for the transmission and exchange of art and craftsmanship culture, a temporary stay space for people who have difficulty returning home in case of a disaster, and a disaster prevention stockpile warehouse.
