It was found that the redevelopment plan to build a high-rise building containing offices and other facilities in a corner of Tokyo's Akihabara Electric District, which is popular with foreign tourists, is expected to obtain the consent of more than two-thirds of the landowners necessary to proceed with the project. In the future, the redevelopment is expected to move toward commercialization after the decision of Chiyoda Ward.
In Akihabara in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, which is popular among foreign tourists as a city of electricity and subculture, a redevelopment plan has been proposed to construct a high-rise building with a maximum height of 170 meters that will house offices and commercial facilities in a corner in front of the station.
The plan was disputed among more than 30 landowners, with the focus being on whether the consent of more than two-thirds of the landowners necessary to proceed with the project could be obtained.
According to the people concerned, landowners who had reserved their stance since July this year turned to support it, so if we include Chiyoda Ward, which is in favor of redevelopment, it is expected that the consent of landowners stipulated by law will be obtained by the 3th.
Chiyoda Ward plans to decide on the plan by the end of this year after reporting this to the committee of the ward assembly on the 2th, and the redevelopment of Akihabara, which has been discussed for about 7 years, will move toward commercialization.
The timing of the redevelopment is still undecided, but it will be interesting to see how the station front of Akihabara, which is famous worldwide as a city of electricity and subculture, will change.
