Yaesu Daibiru Office Building Redevelopment

A redevelopment project is underway for the Yaesu Daibiru Office Building in Tokyo, Japan, aiming to preserve the design legacy of its original architect, Togo Murano.

The project is located on Yaesu-dori Ave., a significant street in front of Tokyo Station. The former building, designed by Togo Murano, was known for its unique facade that blended stone and cast aluminum.

Murano's design emphasized material richness, precise facade composition, and sensitivity to the streetscape, offering an architectural approach that transcended mere style.

The new building, designed by Nikken Sekkei, is set for completion in 2025 and will have an area of 22,655 m².

KAJIMA CORPORATION is the general contractor for this office building project.
