In November 2023, Tokyo’s skyline changed forever with the opening of Azabudai Hills, a development 30 years in the making by Mori Building. At the heart of this project stands the Mori JP Tower, reaching 330 meters into the Tokyo sky and claiming the title of Japan’s tallest building.
The top 11 floors of the Mori JP Tower, from floors 54 to 64, are home to Aman Residences, Tokyo. This marks Aman’s first standalone branded residential project, with 91 apartments existing without an attached hotel. For the luxury hospitality brand known for creating peaceful retreats around the world, this represents a new chapter in bringing their service and design approach to urban living. With one of the residences selling for ¥20 billion yen (≈$129 million Dollars Nov 2025) it makes it the most expensive reported single unit residence property sold in Japan and one of the most expensive sold in the world.
The Azabudai Hills Development
Azabudai Hills covers 8.1 hectares and includes 24,000 square meters of green space. The complex has a total floor area of 861,700 square meters, including 214,500 square meters of office space and 1,400 residential units. The development is expected to serve around 20,000 office workers, house 3,500 residents, and welcome 30 million visitors per year.
The location sits in Minato Ward, between Roppongi Hills and Toranomon Hills. This puts residents in the center of Tokyo’s business and cultural activities while still offering green spaces and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect for such a central location.
The Mori JP Tower
The Mori JP Tower measures 325.2 meters tall and features 64 floors, making it Japan’s first supertall skyscraper. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the tower’s design evokes a lotus flower, with a crown featuring four curved glass petals. This creates a recognizable shape on Tokyo’s skyline, especially at night when the building’s lighting design brings the structure to life.
The lower and middle floors contain office space, while residential spaces occupy the upper floors, from the 54th to the 64th floor.
The Residences
Aman Residences, Tokyo includes 91 fully serviced apartments spread across the top 11 floors. Each residence has been designed by Yabu Pushelberg, a design firm known for creating spaces that feel both calm and modern.
The residences range from two-bedroom to six-bedroom layouts. Each has its own private entrance and dedicated elevators that go directly to that unit’s floor, meaning you never share an elevator lobby with other residents.
The arrival lobby features a suspended sculpture floating above a reflective pond, designed to help residents feel reconnected to nature even hundreds of meters above the city. The interior design focuses on natural materials and colors, with muted tones that mimic the layers of the earth.
Some larger residences include private pools and terraces, similar to resort hotel suites. All bedrooms are designed as suites with their own bathrooms and walk-in closets. The penthouses occupy the top two floors in a duplex layout, with private staircases connecting the two levels.
Resident-Only Amenities
Residents have access to exclusive facilities on the 54th and 56th floor including a Tea Room, Library, Reading Room, and a private Lounge, Bar and Dining Room serviced by private chefs.
The centerpiece is the Aman Spa. A 1,400 square meter spa with a 25-meter pool features panoramic city views, offering residents a sanctuary atop Tokyo. The spa includes treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, a relaxation room, and a fitness gym. There’s also a media room, games room, and a rooftop garden.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge services that can handle everything from restaurant reservations to travel planning. Housekeeping services are also available, bringing hotel-level service to residential living.
Design Philosophy
According to Yabu Pushelberg, the project was designed to draw residents closer to nature and personal wellbeing. The design explores the relationship between land, sea, and sky, using these natural elements as inspiration throughout the spaces.
This fits with Aman’s philosophy of celebrating local culture, heritage, and tradition. Wood, stone, and natural fibers appear throughout the residences and common areas. The neutral, earthy color palette creates a calm atmosphere that contrasts with the energy of the city below.
The Janu Tokyo Connection
Residents have access to Janu Tokyo, Aman’s sister brand hotel, which occupies floors 1 to 13 of another tower in Azabudai Hills. Janu Tokyo opened in March 2024 with about 120 rooms and suites, bringing a more playful, contemporary atmosphere compared to Aman’s typically serene style.
Featuring a 3,500-square-meter Janu Spa and six restaurants and bars, Janu Tokyo adds even more dining and entertainment options to what’s already available in Azabudai Hills.
The Wider Complex
The development includes about 150 shops and restaurants ranging from casual cafes to high-end dining. The basement level features Azabudai Hills Market, a grocery store with fresh fish, meat, and produce. There are also specialty food shops including a store where you can make your own dashi soup stock.
The British School in Tokyo, one of Japan’s leading international schools, has a campus within the complex. The central green space, designed by Heatherwick Studio, includes walking paths, seating areas, and public art, including “Miss Forest of Tokyo” by artist Nara Yoshitomo.
Sustainability
Azabudai Hills utilizes 100% zero-emission renewable energy and has received LEED Platinum Neighborhood + Development certification, making it the first property in Tokyo to receive this rating.
The complex includes co-generation systems and district heating and cooling. In case of disaster, the building can supply 100% of the electricity and heat needed for the entire complex using emergency generators. The building also incorporates earthquake resistance technologies developed after studying data from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
Location and Connectivity
The development is connected to both Kamiyacho Station and Roppongi-itchome Station through underground passages. Tokyo Tower is visible from many residences. The development sits between Roppongi, known for its nightlife and international community, and Toranomon, a major business district.
Sales and Availability
It is reported that all Aman Residences has already been sold. Some media outlets have reported that the largest penthouse unit was sold for approximately ¥20 billion yen, which would make this super exclusive property the most expensive single unit residence to have been reported to be sold in Japan. At a currency converted price of over $129 million dollars (Nov 2025), it also makes it one of the most expensive properties ever sold in the world
Housing Japan does not currently have units for sale in Aman Residences given how exclusive the development is. However, we do work with similarly exclusive properties in Tokyo, including luxury villa developments and other high-end options like Mita Garden Hills, which offers a low-rise alternative to high-rise luxury living.
Living Experience
What sets Aman Residences apart isn’t just the physical spaces but the level of service. The 24-hour concierge service handles restaurant reservations, dry cleaning, car services, and travel planning. Housekeeping services maintain the residences. Private chefs in the dining room can prepare meals for residents and guests.
The spa offers treatments similar to what you’d find at an Aman resort. The gym is staffed and equipped with trainers who can design workout programs.
Market Context
What makes Aman Residences different is the combination of factors. The height and views are unique – no other residential building in Japan reaches as high. The Aman brand brings a level of service that most residential buildings don’t offer. The amenities, particularly the spa and private dining, are more extensive than most apartment buildings provide.
With only 91 units, Aman Residences is much smaller than most luxury developments. This creates a more intimate community and ensures that amenities never feel crowded.
For buyers interested in Tokyo luxury real estate but looking for different options, many other new developments offer exceptional privacy. Others might be interested in newly built villa properties in central Tokyo, which provide the space and privacy of a house with proximity to the city center.
