Japan's new tallest skyscraper is also fat—sprawling enough to fit the mixed-use demands of post-COVID city life.

The article focuses on the Azabudai Hills, which will become Japan's tallest skyscraper at 1,067 feet upon its official opening on November 24. Developed by Mori Building Company, the project aims to redefine urban living in Tokyo by integrating green spaces, mixed-use facilities, and public transit within a single structure, reflecting post-COVID lifestyle preferences. Designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners, the complex includes a main tower with office, residential, and hotel spaces, alongside two residential towers, and emphasizes a harmonious relationship with nature through extensive landscaping and community-oriented design. Despite its height, Azabudai Hills does not compete globally with the tallest skyscrapers, as Japan maintains a cultural tradition of limiting building heights. [Extracted from the article]
