Tokyu Land Corporation and Kajima Corporation announced on September 8 that they will open “KUDAN-KAIKAN TERRACE” in Kudanminami, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo on October 1.

Kudan Kaikan Terrace has been partially preserved from the old Kudan Kaikan building, which is a registered tangible cultural property, and has been reconstructed to meet various modern needs, such as the use of latest technology and health management in company. It has 3 basements and 17 floors above ground, with cafes, offices, clinics and restaurants.

As the glazed surface can also be secured, it is said that it will not block the view.

Inside the facility, the “Smart City Platform” data collaboration platform is used to centrally operate IoT solutions such as congestion status detection. Measures against the new coronavirus infection are also being taken, such as the incorporation of a smart card-linked elevator, a non-contact, antibacterial and ventilation mechanism, and a suction hand dryer.

The banquet hall has been restored to its original appearance, with the L-shaped design of the north and east sides of the old Kudan Kaikan building. The entrance hall at the front of the building uses the marble that has been used for the floor and walls since its foundation, giving it a dignified atmosphere.
