History
The tower is located next to Mitsui Honkan, the historical headquarters of the Mitsui conglomerate, designed by Trowbridge & Livingston and built in 1929. Mitsui Honkan was designated as an Important Cultural Property in 1998, and the Mitsui Tower project was subsequently designed and built in a complementary style. This is most visible in the exterior design of the lower levels of the tower. Mitsui Honkan was refurbished alongside the construction of Mitsui Tower, and now houses the Mitsui Memorial Museum in addition to a branch of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
The tower site itself was previously occupied by Sembikiya (千疋屋), an importer and retailer of high-end fruits. Sembikiya established its headquarters on the site in 1867, a three-story Western-style building which was replaced by a more modern 11-story office building in 1971. Sembikiya moved its headquarters in 2002; the main Sembikiya store now occupies the lower level of the tower while corporate offices are located across the street.
