Japan's Tallest tower

Architecture studio Pelli Clarke & Partners’ 330-metre-tall A District tower has topped out in central Tokyo, making it Japan’s tallest building.

Located in central Tokyo’s Toronamon-Azabudai District, the mixed-use tower – one of a complex of three skyscrapers that Pelli Clarke & Partners is designing for developer Mori – has reached its full height.

At 330-metre-tall, A District takes the title of Japan’s tallest building from Abeno Harukas, a 300-metre-tall building in Osaka that was also designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners and completed in 2014.

“Out of our three projects on the site, the main tower is perhaps the most visual on the skyline,” said Pelli Clarke & Partners senior principal Fred Clarke. “It is the first thing visitors will see upon arrival in Tokyo.”

The building is expected to be fully completed in 2023 and will house large-scale office space, luxury residences, medical and research centres, as well as schools and retail facilities.

Pelli Clarke & Partners began construction on A District in 2019.
