Two White Towers on the Harumi Waterfront
At Harumi 2-chome, Chuo City, Tokyo, two white silhouettes rise above the reclaimed waterfront: The Parkhouse Harumi Towers, a super high-rise residential complex developed by Mitsubishi Estate Residence and consisting of two 49-storey towers — Chrono Residence and Tiaro Residence.
Chrono Residence was completed in October 2013. It stands 49 floors above ground with two basement levels, housing 883 units. Tiaro Residence followed in March 2016 with the same structural profile of 49 above-ground floors and two basement levels, adding 861 more units. The two towers together supply 1,744 homes — a combined scale that ranks among the largest single residential complexes on Tokyo’s waterfront. The shared site covers approximately 29,800 square metres, accommodating planted walks and open spaces that open toward the bay.
Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei handled the design of both towers, and the shared architectural language is immediately apparent: a clean white facade with emphatic horizontal banding that reads calmly against the open sky of the bay. Kajima Corporation carried out the construction of both buildings.
Leading the Residential Transformation of Harumi
The Harumi reclaimed land was once occupied by the Tokyo International Trade Fair and freight facilities. From the 1990s onwards, housing development moved in, and towers such as The Tokyo Towers established the area as a residential address. The Parkhouse Harumi Towers delivered the largest single residential supply of that era, accelerating the urban density of Harumi 2-chome significantly.
When Tiaro Residence was completed in 2016, the nearby Harumi 5-chome site — just to the north — was already being prepared as the Athletes’ Village for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, a project that would later become Harumi Flag. The Parkhouse Harumi Towers’ early establishment of residential density is widely seen as having helped lift the profile of the entire Harumi district. To the south, Park Tower Harumi (48 storeys, completed 2019) has since added another landmark, and the corridor along Harumi-dori now presents a succession of residential towers distinctive to this part of the bay.
Summary
The Parkhouse Harumi Towers — Chrono Residence (2013) and Tiaro Residence (2016) — stand 49 storeys tall and together supply 1,744 homes across a shared site on the Harumi waterfront. Developed by Mitsubishi Estate Residence and designed by Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei, the complex played a central role in turning Harumi into the residential quarter it is today. The two white towers are visible from the Kachidoki and Tsukishima direction; following Harumi-dori east from the station and looking up is the simplest way to take them in.
