Akihabara UDX
A 22-story, approximately 99-meter mixed-use office building completed in 2006. Developed by NTT Urban Development as the centrepiece of the Akihabara Crossfield redevelopment, it transformed the city's famed electronics district into a technology and business hub.

Shibuya Cast
A 16-story, approximately 67-metre mixed-use building completed in 2017. Developed by Tokyu Corporation and designed by Nihon Sekkei, it stacks retail, share offices, and rental housing in a single tower — a mid-scale intervention in Shibuya distinct from the area's large-scale station redevelopments.
Office
Sumitomo Fudosan Shinjuku Oak Tower
A 38-story, approximately 184-metre office tower completed in 2003. Developed by Sumitomo Fudosan as part of the Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome district redevelopment, it extended the sub-centre's high-rise density into a block that had previously remained lower-scale.
Office

A twin-towered, arch-topped office building completed in 1996 in Aomi, Odaiba. Rising 21 floors and approximately 99 metres, it was developed by Tokyo Teleport Centre as a flagship facility of the Tokyo waterfront sub-centre and remains one of the bay area's most recognisable landmarks.
Office
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 2
A 34-story, approximately 163-metre government office tower completed in 1991. Designed by Kenzo Tange as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government complex in Nishi-Shinjuku, it forms an ensemble with the twin-towered No. 1 building and defines the civic skyline of the sub-centre.
Office
Gate City Osaki
Opened in February 1999 at Osaki Station's east exit, this twin-tower complex — East Tower at 108.8 m and West Tower at 98 m — was 15 years in the making and became a cornerstone of Osaki's transformation into a major business subcenter.
Residence
Global Front Tower
Completed in January 2016 in Shibaura, Minato City, this 34-storey, 120-metre residential tower is distinguished by its pentagonal floor plan — an unusual geometry that shapes both the exterior silhouette and the variety of views enjoyed by its 883 units.
Office
Nakanoshima Festival Tower West
Completed in April 2017 on the narrow island between Osaka's Tosabori and Dojima rivers, this 41-storey, 199-metre tower houses Conrad Osaka in its upper floors and pairs with the 2012 East Tower to complete Asahi Shimbun's twin-tower redevelopment of Nakanoshima.
