TOKYO -- Mitsui Fudosan and the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone group will lead one of the largest post-2020 Olympics redevelopment projects in Tokyo, Nikkei has learned, a move that many hope will prevent construction demand from plunging following the 2020 Summer Games.

The project covers an area of roughly 70,000 sq. meters in the Uchisaiwaicho district, a prime location near the Imperial Palace that sits between the Ginza shopping district and Kasumigaseki, home of many Japanese ministries and agencies.
