Article's first paragraph translated from Japanese:

This is TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY, a large-scale redevelopment project directly connected to Takanawa Gateway Station. It was photographed on December 7, 2024. It has been announced that the commercial facility that will open will be NEWoMan TAKANAWA (approximately 60,000 m2, approximately 200 stores). THE LINKPILLAR 1, located in front of the station, will open partially on March 27, 2025, and will fully open in the fall of 2025. The other buildings, including THE LINKPILLAR 2, are scheduled to open in the spring of 2026. This article provides an overview of the redevelopment project, its construction status, maps, etc.
