Construction has been completed on Nihonbashi Nomura Mitsui Tower, a 284-meter (932-foot) mixed-use skyscraper forming the centerpiece of Tokyo Midtown Nihonbashi, a major redevelopment in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward. Developed by Mitsui Fudosan and Nomura Real Estate Development, the project is the fourth destination in Mitsui Fudosan’s Tokyo Midtown series, following Roppongi, Hibiya, and Yaesu.
Completed on 30 September 2026, the 52-story building encompasses approximately 374,800 square meters of floor area. Designed by Nikken Sekkei, with Pelli Clarke & Partners serving as design architect, the skyscraper integrates commercial, office, hospitality, residential, and event facilities within a vertically organized development. The building will accommodate the headquarters of Nomura Holdings and Daiichi Sankyo, along with Bank of America’s Japan office.
The building’s lower levels will contain retail and commercial facilities, while floors five through eight will accommodate international conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events. The facilities include two halls of approximately 1,500 square meters each, with capacities of around 1,600 people, alongside 12 conference rooms. Office space occupies floors 10 through 38, with outdoor terraces on levels 10 and 21. The upper floors will house the 197-room Waldorf Astoria Tokyo Nihonbashi hotel on levels 40 through 47, followed by branded rental residences on floors 48 through 51.
The development also incorporates infrastructure designed to strengthen urban connectivity and resilience. Underground passages and elevated pedestrian connections link the skyscraper with the neighboring Nihonbashi 1-chome Mitsui Building. A centralized energy facility, developed in partnership with TEPCO Energy Partner, is designed to maintain electricity and thermal services during power outages.
Tokyo Midtown Nihonbashi forms part of a broader transformation of the historic Nihonbashi district, including plans to relocate the elevated Shuto Expressway underground and restore the urban environment along the Nihonbashi River. The redevelopment’s commercial facilities, including the renovated COREDO Nihonbashi, are scheduled to open in 2027, introducing a new concentration of business, hospitality, cultural, and public-facing uses to central Tokyo.
