 Augusta Georgia: Features:Developers expect new high-rise area to revitalize Tokyo district 12/29/02   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Tokyo's Roppongi district, infamous for prostitution and shady foreigners, is about to get a much needed facelift with Roppongi Hills - a sprawling complex of office buildings, shops and restaurants set to open in April that promises to be on the scale of New York's Rockefeller Center.
Instead of the down-and-out people loitering around today, the project by Tokyo's giant developer, Mori Building Co., is courting the top crust of the foreign population - such as the on-the-go traders at Goldman Sachs and the computer-savvy at Yahoo Japan, both tenants at the main office building, a tower of glistening glass.
Roppongi Hills will also be competing against similar plush Mori offerings in Tokyo, such as the Ark Hills, which has a concert hall with superb acoustics, and the Atago Green Hills, an office and residential complex finished last year.
