Azabudai Hills

Azabudai Hills (麻布台ヒルズ, Azabudai Hiruzu) is a complex of three skyscrapers in the Azabudai business district in the ward of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Upon its completion in 2023, the Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower in the development became the tallest building in Tokyo and Japan, effectively beating the Abeno Harukas in Osaka.

The complex was developed by the Mori Building Company, at a project cost of about 640 billion yen ($5.3 billion).[3] Negotiations with landowners and residents on the site started in March 1989, and the redevelopment was authorised by the government in September 2017. The construction started in August 2019 and was completed in 2023. The architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects won the contract for the exterior design of the skyscrapers, while Sou Fujimoto and Thomas Heatherwick were commissioned to design the interiors and the exteriors of the low-level structures respectively.[4][3]

The complex lies between sister Mori Building projects Roppongi Hills to the west, Toranomon Hills to the east, and Ark Hills to the north. The complex is also directly connected to the Kamiyachō Station of the Hibiya Line and both the Toranomon-Gochōme and Azabudai Hills bus stations of the Toei Bus, while also sharing a close distance to the Roppongi-itchōme Station of the Namboku Line from the northwest.
