Minoru Mori was Japan’s most successful real estate developer. He followed in his father’s footsteps; Taikichiro founded the Mori Building Company in 1959. Pictured are three of Minoru’s skyscrapers in the Minato ward. On the right is Mori Tower (614 feet), a commercial office building. In the middle is residential Forest Tower (516 feet). Both are part of the 3.8 acre Atago Green Hills complex. Most impressive is Toranoman Hills on the left. Although this angle belies its size, Toranomon Hiruzu became the city’s tallest at 838 feet when it opened in 2014. Among its 52 floors are offices, apartments and retailers.
