Sky Mile Tower was designed to rise as high as 420 stories above Tokyo Bay.
In 2016, Kohn Pederson Fox Associates and Leslie E. Robertson Associates announced plans for the skyscraper as part of a larger proposal called "Next Tokyo 2045," though no funding has been announced yet.
If it is built, the skyscraper would be a mainly residential space, housing about 55,000 people. The proposal, created with rising sea levels and typhoon risks in mind, calls for the tower to be surrounded by rings that would break up strong waves. The surrounding waters would also feature farm plots floating around.
Multi-level sky lobbies would link different residential spaces, giving residents access to shared amenities like gyms, libraries, and shops.
