Message from Our Leader

City-making is endlessly fascinating, to put it simply. Cities are the stage for all human activity, and within them lie infinite possibilities.

Fierce competition among cities continues worldwide. To revitalize Japan’s economy and boost its vitality, Tokyo must have the magnetism to attract people, businesses, information, wisdom, and capital from around the world. For more than half a century, Mori Building has pursued urban development with one clear vision: to make Tokyo a city chosen by the world.

Our vision is a multifunctional, compact city shaped by human activity—a place where people can live, work, learn, play, and connect with vitality. By developing abundant greenery, culture, and transportation infrastructure alongside the compact city, we aim to create Tokyo’s magnetism. We have taken on and accomplished central Tokyo redevelopment projects once thought impossible to achieve this. Even after completion, we continue to enhance vitality and deepen bonds with people through our unique Town Management approach.

Today, our strategic area includes ARK Hills, Roppongi Hills, Toranomon Hills, and Azabudai Hills. Each has its own distinct character. Together they are forming the “new international hub” we have long envisioned. Our challenge continues as we aim for even greater heights. Collaborating with the people and companies gathered in the Hills Area, we will jointly shape the future. By connecting these Hills through culture, greenery, energy, disaster preparedness, logistics, and digital networks, we will evolve them into an area unlike any other. From here, we will create new businesses and new ways of living and working, and share them with the world.

I believe Mori Building can achieve this. We have a clear vision of urban development, and the strength that comes from consistently embodying our philosophy of “Create Cities, Nurture Cities.” Our corporate culture encourages independent thinking and bold action, unconstrained by convention. This spirit has been the driving force behind creating new value and the power to shape the stage that is the city. With dreams and aspirations in hand, we will continue to take on “not what we can do but what we must do.” We will never compromise, never give up, and always see things through to completion. This is what defines Mori Building.

Our mission is to energize people, businesses, Tokyo, and Japan through the work of creating and nurturing cities. Guided by an unwavering vision, and with methods and speed suited to the times, we will continue to take on challenges and open new paths to the future.
