Uses: Office, Residential, Retail Gross Floor Area: 461,395 m² Render of Toranomon-Azabudai District Main Tower (the red arrow pointed) Toranomon-Azabudai District Main TowerĬurrent status: Under Construction Estimated built year: 2023 Location (ward): Minato The uppermost section of the tower will contain an observation deck, visitors will be able to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from there. With a height of 390 meters above ground, Torch Tower will become Japan’s tallest building. The Tokiwabashi Tower is currently under construction and is close to its completion, and the construction of Torch Tower will start in 2023 and scheduled to be completed in 2027. The project was first announced as early as in 2015, but the supertall’s name Torch Tower is only revealed in September 2020 after a torch-inspired new design for the supertall is unveiled. Tokyo Torch Tower is a 63-story supertall skyscraper planned to be built near the north side of Tokyo Station (Tokyo’s main railway hub), it’s a part of Mitsubishi Estate’s Tokiwabashi District Redevelopment Project, which also includes a shorter 212-meter (696-foot) tower called Tokiwabashi Tower.

The list will be updated now and then in response to the changes on the status of the buildings, or once a new skyscraper project is announced. The marine construction technique is a combination of triangles with diagonal, lateral and principal elements interlinked through branch joints.Below is a list of the tallest skyscrapers planned to be built in Tokyo, with skyscrapers already under construction included. ![]() Truss elements – tripod truss, lateral joint truss and ring truss – are used for the entire structure. The key elements have been built with double standard strength steel channels. The main structure of the tower is made of steel tube frames. Steel tubes at the base measure 2.3m of diameter and have 10cm of thickness. The walled piles are interconnected radially. Large piles of the Sky Tree tower are built in the shape of nodular-walls and integrated into the ground to give more frictional resistance. Lines from three apexes of the triangles converge about 50m above grade along the 600m height. Triangular shapes reduce the structural steel required for construction. The tower rises on three legs from an equilateral triangular footprint of side 68m. The structure represents state-of-the-art Japanese engineering. ![]() Structure of the tallest free-standing building in the world The second observation deck and air corridor are at a height of 450m.
