Japanese builder and developer Sumitomo Forestry has teamed up with architecture firm Nikken Sekkei to construct a 350-meter (1148 ft) wooden skyscraper in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district right around Tokyo Station. Although still in conceptual stages, the company is aiming to complete “W350” by 2041, a date that would mark the 350th anniversary of the company. If completed, it would be the world’s tallest wooden structure and would even beat out Japan Abeno Harukas (300 meters) in Osaka, which currently holds the record of tallest building in Japan.
