On June 16th (Wed), the framework was completed for ARK Hills Front Tower, part of Mori Building's urban development for the Akasaka area in Minato-ku. ARK Hills Front Tower is a mixed-use building with total floor area of approximately 24,900 square meters and 22 above-ground floors containing offices (floors 2, 13-21), residences (floors 6-12), and retail space (1st floor). A distinctive characteristic of the tower is the placement of vehicle parking on floors 3-5, which are at the same height as the adjacent Shuto Expressway. Mori Building is working hard with the aim to complete construction on the project by January 2011.
