Tokyo Roppongi New Town Shopping Center and Commercial Complex Investigation Report

Tokyo Roppongi New Town Shopping Center and Commercial Complex Investigation Report

I. Project introduction

Tokyo's Roppongi New Town is Tokyo's famous shopping center and tourist center. The project opened in April 2003 and has become a must-see commercial facility for foreign visitors to Tokyo. It can be reached by taking the MRT Hibiya Line Roppongi Station.

Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, Japan, is a marathon project of the Japanese Mori Construction Company. In the early days of the project, many people were pessimistic about the project, predicting that the project might be too big, or that it was too big and too sudden for the Japanese tradition. At the same time, people also suspect that the timing of building such a project is not right, because at that time Japan was in the longest recession.

The 17-year operation is impossible for any domestic developer. Its professionalism and a responsible attitude of leaving something valuable for future generations are lacking in domestic developers. President Mori believes that the entire team is constantly pursuing quality and establishing a world-class brand. This is also the belief of Mori Building Co., Ltd.

The façade design changes are quite rich, and the space is used to retreat from the platform, which is similar to Osaka Namba City. A circular ceiling is set on the stage of the open-air plaza, which has a strong gathering and guiding effect.
