Takanawa: 2008–10
The Club's temporary site at Takanawa was custom-built by Konoike Construction. In a park-like setting behind the Josiah Conder-designed house and gardens of the Iwasaki family, the founders of Mitsubishi, the Club was billed as “a retreat in the heart of town.”
While significantly smaller in area than the Azabudai building, the Club still featured an outdoor swimming pool, restaurants, squash courts, a gymnasium, fitness center and bar.
Members could reach the Takanawa clubhouse by Club shuttle bus from the nearby Shinagawa station.
During this period, the old buildings at Azabudai, as well as the Azabu Towers apartment buildings, were demolished and construction of the new facilities began. In all, redevelopment took three years.
