Mori Building Co., Ltd.

A City where People's Activities are Seamlessly Connected

Azabudai Hills will be an urban environment that seamlessly connects diverse aspects of human life, including living, working, congregating, relaxing, learning and recreating. Rather than designing the development around facilities such as offices, residences and hotels, Mori Building approached the challenge from the perspective of human activity, including to remove barriers between facilities.
As a result, the site's many facilities will interact and collaborate with each other in support of all-new lifestyles, allowing people to live in harmony with nature, form a thriving community and enjoy creative, stimulating lives. The entire complex, full of greenery, will become a place of learning, work, residence and play.

A city where people's activities are seamlessly connected

Central Green: Creating a Lively Urban Atmosphere, Surrounded by Rich Greenery

The approx. 6,000m² Central Green, a symbol of the complex, will bring people together in a lush green space for rest and relaxation.
Its focal point will be the Azabudai Hills Arena, which will be surrounded by abundant greenery. Crowned by a canopy designed by Heatherwick Studio, which also worked on the area's distinctive landscape, the space will be equipped to accommodate a variety of events. In addition to an adjacent 550m² grass area, it can also be used with Azabudai Hills Cafe, a dining and event space. Seasonal activities organized among the lush greenery will create a vibrant urban atmosphere in the heart of Azabudai Hills.

"The British School in Tokyo" One of Tokyo's Largest International Schools

For Tokyo to compete with other international cities, it must attract foreign companies and talented global players from around the world; one way to do this is improving the living environment for foreign businesspeople and their families. A key step will be enhancing its international education environment, given that central Tokyo still has fewer international schools than most other major cities, even those in Asia.
The British School in Tokyo, one of the largest international schools in Tokyo, will open in Azabudai Hills. The new campus is the culmination of the school's desire to educate children in a relaxed, natural environment in the heart of the city, and Mori Building's vision to support Tokyo's global magnetism. Founded 34 years ago, the school offers a British-style curriculum with a rich international flavor to students of more than 60 nationalities.

Museum・Gallery

Presenting a Diverse Range of Cultures to the World from Modern Art to Entertainment

Mori Building strongly believes that in cities where there is only economic activity and no culture, it is impossible to attract people from around the world. We are devoted to incorporating "culture" as a crucial element of urban development, creating distinctive cultural facilities within each of our Hills projects. As awareness of the need for wellness has grown, culture and art have become even more vital in enhancing the quality of urban life, providing as they do a more fulfilling experience for city dwellers.
At Azabudai Hills, our approach has been based on the concept of "making the whole city a museum." At the center of the overall facility is a museum and art gallery with a total space of around 9,300m². Public art installations are dotted throughout the area, in offices, residences, hotel lobbies and squares, creating a urban space where art and culture blend seamlessly.
