Not mentioned in the article, but also significant is that in the last decade or so, commercial property developers have been required to provide housing too.

We can see many successful examples of mixed-use buildings in predominantly commercial districts such as Shinjuku and Roppongi.

That is not a requirement but rather an innovation first done by Mori Tower about thirty years ago.

Most large sky scrappers are still pure office towers. The mixed use developments are rare and lifestyle branded.
