Opened in April 2012 at the intersection of Omotesando and Meiji-dori, this seven-storey commercial complex by architect Hiroshi Nakamura (NAP Architects) is defined by its faceted mirror-glass entrance and the rooftop woodland terrace named Omohara no Mori.
A large commercial complex opened in 1996 on the site of Shinjuku's former freight yard. With Takashimaya's Shinjuku store as its anchor, it transformed the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station into a thriving hub.
A two-tower complex completed in 2000 at Shibuya Station's west exit. The East tower rises 25 floors to nearly 100 metres and includes a hotel; the West tower holds 23 floors of offices. The Keio Inokashira Line station and a major bus terminal are woven directly into the building.

A 16-story, approximately 67-metre mixed-use building completed in 2017.

A 21-story, 107-meter office tower completed in 2019 on Dogenzaka, Shibuya. While Shibuya's major redevelopments concentrated around the station and east exit, Solasta quietly renewed an older block on the slope, adding a glass curtain-wall accent to the hillside streetscape.
A 32-story, 131-metre office tower completed in March 1975 as Toho Seimei Building — Shibuya's first building to exceed 100 metres. The white-and-brown vertically striped facade remains a steady landmark beside Miyamasuzaka, watched over decades of the district's transformation.
A 41-story, 184-meter tower completed in 2001 on the former Tokyu headquarters site in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya. The building combines offices, a luxury hotel, a noh theater, and a jazz club — an unlikely mix that reflects Shibuya's cultural depth.
A 36-story, approximately 150-meter tower completed in 1998 at the south exit of Shinjuku Station. The centerpiece of the Shinjuku Southern Project, it combined offices and a hotel while establishing the pedestrian promenade that reworked how the south exit connects to the city.
A 34-story, 161-meter office tower completed in 1995 in Yoyogi, Shibuya Ward — directly adjacent to Shinjuku Station's south exit but bearing a Shinjuku name despite a Shibuya address. The building's 105-meter central atrium is one of the most distinctive interior volumes among Tokyo's office towers.
Completed in September 1997 with 28 stories and a height of approximately 150 m, the JR East Headquarters Building stands adjacent to Shinjuku Station's south exit in Yoyogi, Shibuya — a deliberate choice by the privatized railway to anchor its new identity to its busiest hub.

A 34-story, 182.5-meter supertall completed in 2012 on the site of the former Tokyu Cultural Center. Standing at Shibuya Station's east exit, it fired the opening shot in the district's large-scale redevelopment and remains the definitive landmark of the east side.
A 35-story, approximately 180-meter tower completed in 2018 on the site of the former Tokyu Toyoko Line's elevated station. Its development revived the Shibuya River and created a waterfront promenade connecting Shibuya Station's south exit to Daikanyama.
