Construction of the new building is expected to be completed in fiscal 2027. The planned construction site in the Tokiwabashi area of Chiyoda Ward is more than 30,000 square metres.

Mitsui Fudosan Co. is planning to open a 245-metre-high building in fiscal 2021 and Tokyo Tatemono Co. is planning to open a 250-metre-high building in 2023 in a redevelopment project on the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station. (++++)
