The Tokyo Building demo follows earlier deployments at three other Marunouchi properties, signaling a planned expansion of AI-powered security across Mitsubishi Estate's entire portfolio in the district.

Asilla Inc. and Mitsubishi Estate will begin a demonstration experiment of the AI security system 'AI Security asilla' at Tokyo Building in June 2026. The system uses existing security cameras to perform real-time AI analysis, detecting fights, violent acts, intrusions into restricted areas after hours, falls, and congestion. It immediately notifies security personnel. The experiment aims to verify safety improvements for the building's diverse users, including office workers and visitors. Mitsubishi Estate has operated the same system at Shin-Marunouchi Building since October 2022, and later at Marunouchi Building and Marunouchi Park Building. The Tokyo Building demo draws on operational knowledge from those earlier sites. The building, a 33-story mixed-use property adjacent to Tokyo Station's Marunouchi exit, includes the commercial zone Tokyo Building TOKIA. The experiment is part of Mitsubishi Estate's broader digital transformation strategy under its 2021 Digital Vision, which includes developing a next-generation facility operation model using robots and advanced camera systems.
Asilla's AI Security asilla system runs 24/7 on existing camera feeds, detecting deviations from normal behavior such as loitering, staggering, or climbing over barriers. At Tokyo Building, the demonstration will test three functions: spatial monitoring for nuisance behavior, real-time congestion visualization for crowd management, and surveillance for signs of physical distress. Both companies stated that the system requires no capital investment in new hardware, since it uses cameras already installed. The building, opened in the 1990s, hosts a commercial zone on lower floors and thousands of daily visitors. Asilla CEO Tsuyoshi Onoue and Mitsubishi Estate President Atsushi Nakajima are the named executives. Mitsubishi Estate has operated the system at Marunouchi properties since 2022 and plans to consider broader rollout across the area based on results from this experiment.
