Jointly developed by Mitsui Fudosan Group and Mitsubishi Estate Group, this project marks the first large-scale collaboration between these two real estate giants in central Tokyo since Hiroo Garden Hills, 38 years ago.

About Mita Garden Hills – A Legacy of Prestige

The land itself carries a deep legacy, having been the residence of Arima Nakatsukasa Daibu during the Edo period. Nearby estates belonged to the Matsudaira, Oda, and Tokugawa clans, and in later years, the Hachisuka, Kuroda, and Matsukata marquis families made this area their home.
