Tokyu Land Corporation has been chosen to lead the Shirokane 1 Chome North-Central Redevelopment Project. This will see a 140-meter tall, 900-unit apartment tower built on the western side of Shirokane AER City.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to start in 2021, with completion by 2025. It will be similar in height to Shirokane Tower, which is 141.9 meters tall, with 42 floors and 581 apartments.

The project is a few blocks away from the 156-meter tall, 1,247-unit Shirokane The Sky condominium, which is due for completion in late 2022. Further away, Daiwa House is in the process of building a 135-meter tall, 280-unit condominium on the south-eastern side of Shirokane AER City, with completion due by early 2023.

When all these high-rise developments are completed, the area around Shirokane-Takanawa Station will have over 3,000 apartments.
