On May 21, Tokyo Tatemono disclosed the progress of its Yaesu 1-chome North Urban Area Redevelopment Project “Gofukubashi Project.
The planned site along Eitai-dori (1-1 Yaesu 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, etc.) is lined with the Nihonbashi River and the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Loop Line, which is currently under construction, to the north, Tokiwa-bashi Tower (TOKYO TORCH) to the west, and Tokyo Tatemono Nihonbashi Building and COREDO Nihonbashi to the east, and the whole area is called “YNK (Ink) area”, which stands for Yaesu, Nihonbashi and Kyobashi. The area is also known as the Yaesu-Nihonbashi-Kyobashi (YNK) area.
It is a transportation node with access to the entire metropolitan area from and to Tokyo Station and surrounding subway stations, as well as to the north and south of Japan via the Shinkansen bullet train, and to overseas destinations via Haneda/Narita Airport from the bus terminal. The area around Eitai-dori from Otemachi to Nihonbashi to Kabutocho is the financial center of the city.
As already announced in December 2024, the south section of the planned site is a facility with a total floor area of approximately 186,500m2, 218m above ground, scheduled for completion in 2029. Ascott’s top-tier brand, The Crest Collection’s SEN/KA TOKYO by The Crest Collection, and FIAN (Tokyo Financial Iori), a digital financial facility, are already scheduled to occupy the lower floors.
Furthermore, Nihonbashi Station and Tokyo Station will be connected underground, and with the addition of Kayabacho Station, the network will eventually form Japan’s largest 10-station “wide-area underground pedestrian network” (10 stations: Tokyo Station, Otemachi Station, Nijubashi Station, Kyobashi Station, Hibiya Station, Yurakucho Station, Ginza Station, Higashi-ginza Station, Nihonbashi Station and Kayabacho Station).
Below is a current view of the proposed site taken that day.
