Japan’s tallest wooden high-rise completed
A high-rise building in Yokohama has become the tallest of its type in Japan to be built largely of wood. The construction company Obayashi was responsible for putting up the 11-story building which tops out at 44 meters. But Mitsui Fudosan and Takenaka Corporation are already planning a 17-story wood-frame office tower in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district from 2023 with a proposed height of 70 meters.
