TOKYO TORCH Torch Tower
TOKYO TORCH Torch Tower
Torch Tower is a 390m-tall, ultra-high rise, large-scale, multi-purpose building planned for Tokiwabashi. The design team, with Mitsubishi Jisho Design Sekkei as the core architect, designed it with the meaning of "illuminating Japan and the world." Rather than being a standalone structure, Torch Tower is expected to be integrated with Tokiwabashi Tower, Zenibanecho Building, and Tokiwabashi Park, connecting with the surrounding blocks and becoming a truly open space.
At the base of the building, a large plaza filled with water and greenery and Tokiwabashi Park welcome a diverse range of people. The building aims to be a place that disseminates information from all over Japan, connects the regions with Tokyo, and brings together a diverse range of people. The lower floors house a large commercial facility and a 2,000-seat hall, which are connected by an aerial walkway. The plaza forms the core of the space, with the Torch Tower and Tokiwabashi Tower forming a trinity.
There is a sky lobby on the base floor, designed as a space where office workers can relax and unwind whilst enjoying views of Tokyo.
At the top of the hill, which seems to float in the sky, there are luxury residences, the internationally acclaimed Dorchester Collection hotel brand, and an observation facility. In particular, the introduction of the residences is expected to promote work-life integration for urban residents and to increase the value of the Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho areas, which have previously lacked residential facilities.
Construction of Torch Tower, which is truly worthy of the name "a town that connects thoughts and lights up the future," will begin in September 2023 and is currently scheduled for completion at the end of March 2028.
