History

The reconstruction of the Tokyo Stock Exchange Building was first discussed in 1971.^[2] In March 1981, the basic plan for the new stock exchange building was finalized, with the main building to have 15 floors. ^[3] On April 8, 1982, construction of the New Market Building began on the site of the old Main Building. ^[4] The New Market Building was completed on October 31, 1984, and a completion ceremony was held on December 6. On May 13, 1985, the TSE held trading on the trading floor of the New Market Building for the first time. ^[5] The second phase of construction, the New Main Building on the old Market Building site, had a groundbreaking ceremony held on October 3, 1985 , and was completed on April 30, 1988.^[6]
