Super High-Rise, Multilevel Metropol
−Sky City 1000
Takenaka has developed plans for Sky City 1000, a 1,000 meter super high-rise comprising 14 levels with a total floor area of 800 hectares. Residences, offices, commercial facilities, schools and theaters will serve 35,000 residents and 100,000 workers. Urban facilities such as architecture, transportation, communications and energy will be integrated within a natural environment in this vertical city of the future. The building structure is designed to support six million tons; its dampers will facilitate wind and earthquake resistance.

Super High-Rise Condo with Innovative Protection System
−Island Tower Sky Club
Island Tower Sky Club is a 145-meter tall, 42-story super high-rise. The tower comprises three slender connected buildings, each with a challenging aspect ratio of seven. It is the world's first super high-rise condominium with three connected towers.
A hybrid base-isolation system that utilizes four types of isolation is incorporated. The buildings are connected by three-tiered steel truss structures incorporating high-strain super-plastic alloy dampers, developed by Takenaka.
The three buildings are connected by"Sky Garden"aerial yards, built using the lift-up construction method. This allowed each yard to be built upon a lower yard and then lifted up to its designated position.
By connecting the buildings with Sky Gardens and combining base-isolation and motion-damping systems, both wind-induced and earthquake motions are reduced. (Movement in this sketch has been exaggerated for illustrative purposes.)

Cloud Computing and Corporate Server Outsourcing
−Takenaka Data Centers
In response to increasing demand for corporate server outsourcing, Takenaka's Data Center Promotion Group has been successful in the proposal and development of data center models.
- Double-Space Urban Data Center
The Double-Space Urban Data Center has an underfloor space of approximately 2 vertical meters, which reduces air conditioning costs and CO2 emissions by more than 60%. This Center offers 30% more server rack space than conventional double-layer floor types.
- Suburban Data Center for Cloud Computing
Each building in this Center consists of individual server room units, realizing a reduction of initial investment and operating costs, with faster facilities expansion and leasing of individual buildings.
- Automated Warehouse Container Data Center
For areas with limited available land, this Center accommodates servers in container-type packages. This permits on-demand response to data center needs from the operation and management of data centers following their launch, to facility expansion.
