In the Takeshiba Area, a national strategic special zone, we are involved in the revitalization of the surrounding area through area management and the creation of an international business hub utilizing land owned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Takeshiba Area Urban Development
Become a "Gateway to the International City of Tokyo" welcoming visitors from around the world
The Hamamatsucho - Takeshiba area is surrounded by centers of strong international competitiveness, including the Dai-maru-yu area (comprising Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho) representing the core business hub of international finance and the Shinagawa - Tamachi area attracting rising interest as a transport hub with the launch of the new Takanawa Gateway Station. The area initially developed as a “gateway to the sea,” —particularly for access to the Izu and Ogasawara Islands— but due to its close proximity to Haneda Airport the area also lies in a good location as a “gateway to the sky”. The neighborhood is also home to two lush green gardens listed as important cultural properties.
In this area, where several large-scale redevelopment projects have recently commenced, we are working to achieve urban development through industry-academia collaboration and by utilizing new technologies.
This project has been certified as a qualified project in the national strategic economic growth area. Using land owned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, this project involves the integrated development of private-sector facilities to help cultivate the content industry and the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center. It aims to create new lifestyles through the close proximity of workplaces and housing, connecting people, information and business from around the world, based on the core concept of “digital × content.”
In addition, by constructing a pedestrian deck connecting Hamamatsucho and Takeshiba stations, we will link together areas that were previously separate, and pursue initiatives to enhance the appeal and vitality of the overall area sustainably over the long term. The initiatives include the promotion of area management through coordination between government, academia and the private sector.
TOKYO PORTCITY TAKESHIBA
The “Office Tower,” which serves as the project’s centerpiece, is a large-scale multipurpose facility consisting of 40 floors above ground and 2 floors below, with a total floor area of approximately 180,000 m2.
The upper floors consist of office space, while the lower floors are commercial areas. The office lobby on the 6th floor incorporates water and greenery features that harmonize with the surrounding environment.
The facility's office floors, which span the 9th through the 39th floors, boast an outstanding panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, Hama-rikyu Gardens, and the verdant greenery of the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens.

Skip Terrace, a Space for Relaxation Surrounded by Greenery
The Skip Terrace arranged in a staircase pattern employs a wide range of open spaces and greenery. The presentation of the "Eight New Views of Takeshiba" comprising the eight views of sky, bees, rice paddy, smell, vegetable garden, water, island and rain creates an environment of lush greenery, while also conveying the biodiversity initiatives underway in Japanese cities.
Residence Tower
The residential tower, which comprises residences, share houses and serviced apartments, is an urban smart residence that employs cutting-edge technology to offer a comfortable living experience. The exclusive tenant app integrates a wide range of services, while facilities and services are provided to enhance "home time" in a way that caters to all styles of living. These features combine to propose a new lifestyle in which one's workplace is close to their home.
Contents innovation Program
In the Takeshiba area, we have established the Contents innovation Program (CiP) as a central body to facilitate the creation of a digital content industry base, and have been engaged in research and development, human resource development, business start-up support, and business matching.
Area Management
This public-private collaborative platform has developed a future vision for the Takeshiba area, and a range of initiatives are being implemented to address community challenges and leverage the area's attractions. These efforts span a wide range of fields, including utilization of public space, smart cities, area MICE, the environment (sustainability), and water transportation. By integrating these initiatives, Takeshiba Area Management aims to foster the creation of new value and enhance the value of the area.
Example of Initiatives
- R&D and human resources development in the content industry
- Demonstrations of the social implementation of cutting-edge technologies
- Hosting the community event, TAKESHIBA Seaside Music & Dining
- Use of public space (Takeshiba Pier, Former Shiba Rikyu Garden)
- Use of the waterfront (Mizbering Project, revitalization of river use and river transport)
Takeshiba Marine-Gateway Minato Conference
Working with Minato Ward to create a framework for public-private cooperation between industries, universities, and government in five working groups on public space utilization, culture and art, island promotion, smart cities, and Takeshiba District public relations. Selected as a Business Promoting the Revitalization of Cities through Public-Private Cooperation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure Transport and Tourism.
Smart City
This project aims to build a smart city platform that will enable a range of businesses to utilize a variety of data collected in the Takeshiba area (human traffic flow, visitor attributes, road conditions, traffic conditions, water levels, etc.) in real time, and to implement new services that utilize cutting-edge technologies.
This will help address issues in Takeshiba and the surrounding area by improving mobility, easing congestion, and strengthening disaster resilience. The project will work to promote economic development and create added value in the area via cross-sector services.
