Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, a 35-story office and shopping complex, will open in Chiyoda Ward in March, with its developer, Mitsui Fudosan Co., saying it hopes to evolve the Hibiya area into a crossing point for both businesses and culture.

The neighborhood is blessed with unique cultural assets and is a place where entertainment, business and politics coexist, Masanobu Komoda, president and CEO of Mitsui Fudosan, said during a media preview Tuesday, two days before the official completion date.

"We hope to develop Hibiya into an attractive place by taking advantage of our Tokyo Midtown brand mixed with Hibiya's identity," he said.
