(Reference) About Aman
Aman was founded in 1988 as a collection of private resorts offering warm hospitality reminiscent of a private residence, consistently on a small scale, and luxurious, extraordinary experiences of outstanding beauty. The concept was then disseminated to the world from its first resort, Amanpuri (Place of Peace) on the island of Phuket. Aman currently operates 33 resorts in 20 destinations, with seven more under construction. The next planned opening is Aman New York. In 2018, Aman launched "Aman Skincare," which allows guests to experience Aman's healing and well-being in the comfort of their own home, and the all-natural supplement "SVA," continuing the brand's evolution to better engage with guests' lifestyles.
(Reference) About the Toranomon-Azabudai Project
The Toranomon-Azabudai Project is located adjacent to ARK Hills, between the cultural center of Roppongi Hills and the global business center of Toranomon Hills, in an area that combines the unique characteristics of both culture and business. The planned area, spanning approximately 8.1 hectares, is surrounded by abundant greenery, with a total green area of approximately 2.4 hectares, including a central plaza of approximately 6,000 square meters. With a total floor area of approximately 861,500 square meters, a total office leasable area of 213,900 square meters, approximately 1,400 residential units, the Block A tower being approximately 330 meters tall, approximately 20,000 employees, approximately 3,500 residents, and an expected annual visitor count of 25 to 30 million people, the project will rival Roppongi Hills in scale and impact. This project will be born as the "future form of Hills," incorporating everything we have learned from our previous "Hills" projects.

“Modern "Green" and "Wellness" Support the "Urban Village"
The concept of the "Toranomon-Azabudai Project" is "A town surrounded by greenery, like a 'plaza' where people connect with each other -- a 'Modern Urban Village.'" The two pillars supporting this concept are "Green" and "Wellness." Surrounded by abundant greenery and in harmony with nature, the project aims to create a new community where diverse people can gather and live a dignified life.
The "Toranomon-Azabudai Project" first considered the flow of people and where they would gather, and planned a seamless landscape with a plaza at the center of the town. Then, three high-rise towers were placed. This approach is the complete opposite of the conventional method of first placing the buildings and then greening the remaining space. Taking advantage of the terrain's unevenness, the entire site, including the rooftops of the lower floors, was greened, creating approximately 2.4 hectares of green space, including a central plaza of approximately 6,000 square meters, despite being located in an established urban area in the city center. We will develop a landscape that connects water and greenery, creating a natural and relaxing space. The entire town will be powered entirely by renewable energy, complying with RE100 (Renewable Energy 100%). We also aim to achieve WELL and LEED-ND certification, the largest registered area in the world.
In addition, with the project's medical facility at its core, we plan to connect various facilities such as spas, fitness clubs, restaurants, and food markets, as well as plazas and vegetable gardens, through a single membership program. By collaborating with external facilities and medical institutions, we will introduce a system in which living and working in this town will all be connected to "wellness."
This project proposes a solution to various global challenges, including low-carbon cities, biodiversity conservation, energy conservation, and truly enriching health.
A Town Where People's Lives Are Seamlessly Connected
The Toranomon-Azabudai Project will be a town where people's lives are seamlessly connected. Rather than designing a city with facilities such as offices, housing, and hotels as a given, we removed the barriers between facilities and approached urban development from the perspective of people's activities. In this city, various people's activities such as "living," "working," "gathering," "relaxing," "learning," "enjoying," and "playing" are seamlessly connected, realizing a new urban lifestyle in which people and nature are in harmony, where people can connect with each other and inspire each other while living creatively. By linking together various facilities and proposing new lifestyles to people, the entire city, lush with greenery, becomes a place of learning, a workplace, a home, and a place to play.
