the new Matsuzakaya store, under construction:

More than a new Matsuzakaya store, according to the press release: “The Ginza 6-chome District 10 Category 1 Urban Redevelopment Project will comprehensively redevelop an approximately 1.4-hectare site comprising two blocks including the former site of the Matsuzakaya Ginza department store (Ginza 6-10) and its adjacent site (Ginza 6-11). With the goal of establishing the center of international retail, business and tourism in Ginza, the project will culminate with the construction of a multi-purpose building comprised of a retail facility covering approximately 46,000m2 (13,900 tsubo), a large-scale Grade-S office building with typical floor plate of approximately 6,100m2 (1,850 tsubo)—the largest in Tokyo—and cultural and exchange facilities including the Kanze Nohgaku Theater.

[It] is expected to house 250 to 300 premium tenants ranging from international luxury fashion and lifestyle brands to restaurants and cafes, creating a unique shopping environment. Moreover, the facility will feature a 115m-long façade overlooking Chuo Dori, Japan’s prime shopping street, and offer an avant-garde approach to customer services meeting the highest local and international standards by leveraging the experience of the consortium members.”
