The newly constructed buildings are called the Toranomon Residential Tower and Toranomon Business Tower. They are parts of the Toranomon project that also includes the third tallest building in Tokyo.
The height of the business tower is 607 feet (185 meters) and that of the residential tower is 722 feet (220 meters), the latter now also stands as the tallest residential building in Japan, per New Atlas. Both towers were constructed by Ingenhoven Architects, a firm based in Germany.
From the outside, it almost looks like both the skyscrapers have a forest within them. Covered in trees and other plants, with a green cover spread from the ground floor all the way up to the 11th and 7th floors of the two buildings, respectively, these modern buildings are a sight to behold.
Eleven out of the total 54 floors in the residential buildings and seven out of 36 floors in the business tower are surrounded by lush green vegetation. The taller one has 550 housing units and both skyscrapers have been designed to withstand earthquakes. The architects have installed dampers in both buildings and established connections with a nearby temple building to minimize the effect of any seismic activity.
