Former Tsukiji Market Site Set for Major Redevelopment
The former Tsukiji Market site in Tokyo, which relocated to Toyosu in 2018, is undergoing a significant redevelopment. The 19-hectare area will be transformed into a bustling commercial district featuring a large stadium, hotel, office spaces, and conference and exhibition facilities.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the proposed development will span a vast 19-hectare area adjacent to the Sumida River and near the Hamarikyu Gardens. Details provided reveal plans for constructing a large stadium, which will accommodate about 50,000 people and host a variety of events, from sports to concerts.
The development is not only limited to the stadium; it also includes plans for a new hotel, office spaces, and facilities for conferences and exhibitions. The ambitious project will unfold in stages, with the first phase of the development expected to open to the public in 2029. The complete realization of the site is scheduled for 2032, transforming the area into a significant urban landmark.
