Through recent deregulation on urban development lows, the number of super-high-rise residential buildings has increased and the locations have been diversified in the Tokyo Metropolis. Super-high-rise residential buildings development leads rapid population growth in neighborhood that increases new demand for public facilities. Therefore, it is necessary for urban planning to understand its trend and mechanism. There are a lot of researches about the development features in the central Tokyo, however there are no study concerning its location trend in metropolitan suburbs. This paper aims to investigate comprehensively the location of super-high-rise residential buildings in the Tokyo Metropolis and analyzes the features of its development in suburbs.<br> In order to collect data about the development, this paper firstly conducted literature review and interviews to officers of housing supply public corporations, research institution and development department of 4 major cities in the Tokyo Metropolis. Based on the research, it is confirmed that there are 789 super-high-rise residential buildings in the Tokyo Metropolis and 220 of them in suburbs. 9 to 10 buildings have been completed every year and its agglomeration has also been increasing.<br> Secondly, this paper analyzes the location trend from a view point of traffic convenience, land use around the location and urban planning. Following four points are found as the location trend of super-high-rise residential buildings in suburbs.<br> 1) Accessibility for the central Tokyo is important factor as same as the location. Most of super-high-rise residential buildings are located within 50km from Tokyo and also around the railway stations along with the radial railroad lines in the Tokyo Metropolis.<br> 2) Super-high-rise residential building developments are identified three categories by development method, such as “site redevelopment”, “site integrated development” and “new urban area development”. Many condos had been completed by new urban development before 1990s, but in the number of its development in urbanized area has increased, and impact of the development is bigger than the development in the other area in recent years.<br> 3) Most of site redevelopments are concentrated within 700 meters from railway station, even if the legal floor area ratio is as low as 300%. However, the number of site redevelopment has declined in recent years. The reason is considered that the site suiting for the development conditions is getting exhausted.<br> 4) In site integrated development, 80% of condo is located within 370 meters from the stations and in commercial areas where the legal floor area ratio is over 400%. Whilst recently the number of most types of the development has been decreasing, the number of the development in suburban center areas has rapidly increasing.<br> This research suggests that suburban center areas attract more super-high-rise condos in the future because of the expansion of housing demand instead of the floor demand for commercial use. Further studies are needed in order to clarify the influence for the social and economic structure of metropolitan suburbs by increasing super-high-rise condos in the suburban center.
