Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho (東京ガーデンテラス紀尾井町, Tōkyō Gaaden Terasu Kioichou) is a 227,200-square-meter mixed-use development in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. Completed in 2016, it includes office, residential, commercial, hotel, and leisure space.[1]
Tokyo Garden Terrace takes up 30,400 square meters previously occupied by the Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, across the moat from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, and adjacent to the Hotel New Otani.
The primary developer is Seibu Properties working in concert with several partners. The project master design was created by architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox; Nikken Sekkei is the local architect of record.
Site History
The former Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka on the site was demolished in 2013. The original hotel structure designed by Kenzo Tange, was scheduled for closure at the end of March 2011, due to outdated building facilities and modifications in Tokyo building codes. In the wake of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami the hotel remained open and served as a temporary housing facility for evacuees from coastal regions of Fukushima Prefecture.
