Nomura Real Estate Holdings, Capella Hotel Group Plan 54-Story Mixed-Use Tower in Tokyo's Roppongi District
Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nomura Real Estate Holdings, and Singapore-based Capella Hotel Group announced June 30 that they will bring the Capella Hotels and Resorts brand to Tokyo for the first time, with a luxury hotel planned for the upper floors of a 54-story, approximately 200-meter-tall mixed-use tower in the Roppongi area of Minato Ward. The hotel, to be named Capella Tokyo, is scheduled to open in 2030.
The development is part of the Nishi-Azabu 3-chome Northeast Region First-Class Urban Area Redevelopment Project, in which Nomura Real Estate participates as a developer. Nomura Real Estate Development President and Representative Director Daisaku Matsuo and Capella Hotel Group President Roland Fasel are listed as the respective heads of the two firms involved in the announcement.
Project Scale and Mixed-Use Components
The tower will rise approximately 200 meters. Beyond the hotel occupying the upper floors, the development will include approximately 500 residential units supported by integrated hotel services — an arrangement the firms say creates added value specific to a mixed-use format.
The site is located in the Nishi-Azabu 3-chome area of Minato Ward. No further details regarding specific amenities, services, or site characteristics were disclosed in the announcement.
Capella Brand Context
Nomura's announcement notes that Capella Hotels and Resorts has been ranked No. 1 in the world for three consecutive years, though the specific ranking source is referenced on a separate page of the original release and is not detailed in the announcement.
Capella Tokyo will mark the brand's entry into the Tokyo market. No other Japan properties or prior Japan operations were referenced in the source announcement.
Timeline and Developer Roles
Nomura Real Estate Holdings, through its development subsidiary, is participating in the Nishi-Azabu 3-chome redevelopment as a participating developer. Capella Hotel Group, headquartered in Singapore, will operate the hotel under its Capella Hotels and Resorts brand. The project is targeted for opening in 2030. No construction start date or financial terms were disclosed in the announcement.
