How Akira Mori Transformed a Regional Developer into a Global Real Estate Giant

In this episode of The CEO Diary, Lucas and Luna explore the remarkable story of Akira Mori, who took Mori Building from a small Tokyo real estate developer to the creator of Roppongi Hills, one of the most ambitious urban regeneration projects in history. They discuss Mori's long-term vision, the risks he took during Japan's asset bubble, and how he convinced dozens of landowners to sell their properties for a single integrated development. The episode also examines the broader lesson about patient capital and placemaking in an era of short-term thinking. Perfect for anyone interested in real estate, urban development, or leadership under extreme uncertainty. #AkiraMori #MoriBuilding #RoppongiHills #UrbanDevelopment #RealEstate #Tokyo #Japan #Placemaking #PatientCapital #UrbanRegeneration #Leadership #LongTermVision #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheCEODiary #RealEstateDevelopment #JapaneseBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
