TOKYO, July 3 (Xinhua) -- Japan's tallest skyscraper, standing at an impressive height of 330 meters, was completed in central Tokyo, local urban landscape developer Mori Building Co. Ltd. said on Monday.

This new architecture, namely the Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, located near the well-known landscape of Tokyo Tower, surpassed the previous record holder in Osaka by 30 meters.

It is a prominent feature of the Azabudai Hills redevelopment project in Tokyo's Minato Ward, an area famous for its tall office buildings and luxurious condominiums.

The company said the project is expected to be fully opened to the public this fall.

The newly constructed tower boasts 64 floors above ground and five underground levels. The upper floors are dedicated to upscale residences offering exclusive amenities such as a spa, provided by a renowned luxury hotel operator, according to the company.

In addition to the residential units, the building will house the British School in Tokyo, a medical institution operated by Keio University, as well as various corporate offices, retail shops, and restaurants, said Mori Building.

Prior to the completion of the Azabudai Hills building, the tallest structure in Japan was the 300-meter Abeno Harukas located in Osaka.

However, the reign of the Azabudai Hills building as Japan's tallest will be short-lived, local media reports showed, as another developer Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd. is currently constructing a skyscraper near Tokyo Station that is projected to reach a height of 390 meters by the fiscal year of 2027. Enditem
