Perspective

The Torch Tower will feature 67 floors in total, 62 above ground and four below ground. Floors 7 through 52 will be used for offices, while higher floors will be home to a luxury hotel and an observation deck, where visitors can view the Tokyo Bay and Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest mountain.[6][7] The observation deck on the top floor or the building is expected to attract 3 to 4 million visitors annually.[8] The lower floors will include a large events hall with seats for up to 2,000 people.

The luxury hotel will be located on the 51st to 61st floors, at a height of more than 300 m (980 ft). The lobby floor of the hotel is designed to take in fresh air from the outside in a space surrounded by greenery, including trees.[9]

The exterior of the building will have a torch-inspired design. The name, Torch Tower, was chosen in the hope that the tower will "illuminate Japan".

The total floor area will be circa 542,000 m2 (5,834,000 sq ft).[3] This is 1.75 times as much floor space as the Burj Khalifa's 309,472 m2 (3,331,000 sq ft).

Construction started in October 2023 and is scheduled to be completed in 2028. The project is expected to cost about ¥500 billion (US$4.77 billion).[10]
