Ark Towers
Building Overview
Completed in the mid-1980s as part of the landmark ARK Hills redevelopment, Ark Towers is a distinguished residential complex that helped shape the foundation of modern luxury living in central Tokyo. Located within the ARK Hills district spanning Roppongi 1-chome, the property offers a rare blend of international prestige, mature greenery, and enduring residential quality.
Ark Towers is composed of three residential towers — West, South, and East — each offering different orientations, layouts, and living experiences, while sharing a cohesive architectural vision. Rather than standing as isolated high-rises, the towers are seamlessly integrated into the broader ARK Hills urban framework, which includes offices, cultural facilities, landscaped open spaces, and everyday amenities.
Developed by Mori Building, the project reflects a long-term, district-oriented approach to urban living, prioritizing spatial comfort, privacy, and stability over short-term trends. Generous setbacks, established trees, and open sightlines contribute to a sense of scale and composure rarely found in central Tokyo, while the elevated positioning enhances light, views, and separation from surrounding streets.
For decades, Ark Towers has been a preferred residence for diplomats, executives, and international professionals, valued for its secure environment, professional management, and proximity to embassies and major business centers. More than a single residence, Ark Towers represents a well-established residential district — a refined and internationally recognized address within Tokyo’s urban core.
