The Arasaka American Division Headquarters (more commonly known as the Arasaka Towers) was a massive skyscraper located in Corporate Plaza, Night City. During its different iterations, it usually was the building that dominated the skyline of the city and often being its most secure location.

1990s - 2013
The original Arasaka Tower was the headquarters for the American division of the Arasaka Corporation. Despite having multiple regional offices across America, the corporation had a huge investment in the building stages of Night City, making it the head of the corporation's operations in the whole continent. Toshiro Harada was the director of Arasaka America and had his office in this tower.

During the 2013 riot caused by Johnny Silverhand, much of the building was heavily damamged. As such, it was soon replaced by a new office complex.

2013 - 2023
Situated on the same location as the previous office, the newly built Arasaka Towers was the tallest building in Night City. At 130 stories, it was clearly visible from most areas in a clear weather. Similar to other Arasaka corporate offices across the world, it was made up of two towers connected by bridges and a shared lobby. Moreover, two additional but smaller office towers were built in front of the building.

The towers had a featureless surface in black glass and steel. The Arasaka logo and name were on a black marble plaque that stood by the walkway to the main entrance. There were heliports and AV-4 pads on both tower roofs, and a restricted subterranean parking and loading area. The only section opened to the public was the reception area in the ground floor, and no public facilities were found anywhere in the complex. On the other hand, private companies had an arrange of facilities - including cafeterias, trauma centers, stores, recreatives and sleeping quarters.

All building accesses were tightly controlled. Armed security troops patrolled the roofs, ground, parking area, and building interiors 24 hours a day. No unauthorized vehicles were permitted on the roofs, or in any subterranean areas. Authorization was to be given only if a person had an appointment, appeared on a traffic/commercial manifest or schedule, or was cleared by someone within the company. Similar conditions applied to people who wished to proceed beyond the reception area.

The Arasaka Plaza, a small park surrounding the building, was open to the public, but corporate security patrolled it daily.

Before 2020, after Toshiro had been killed in the riot of 2013, Yoru Tomobiki became the director of Arasaka America and had his office in this building.

During the Fourth Corporate War, Kei Arasaka used the Arasaka Towers as the main operations center on the war effort against Militech. However, after losing support from the European division and the Arasaka assets from Japan, the megacorporation was on the losing side. The Arasaka Secure Database was located beneath the complex. The final blow was a mini-nuke that was placed in the HQ by a Militech team, which completely destroyed the Arasaka Towers, bringing about the Night City Holocaust. Arasaka was then kicked out of the USA, and the American division returned to their homeland, Japan.

Not long after the 2023 incident, the ruins were visited by Samantha Stevens.

2070s
In 2070, much of the area was replaced by the newly constructed Arasaka Tower. As a tribute to the 2023 incident, a portion of the original building was left and repurposed into a memorial.

Layout


The Arasaka Towers of Night City are a set of four gigantic office towers divided into two buildings. The main building is reminiscent of other Arasaka office buildings elsewhere, such as the corporation's HQ in Tokyo.

The area surrounding them is known as the Arasaka Grounds. It includes the entrances to the complex and the underground parking. At least four small bunkers are located in each corner of the grounds. The two smaller towers are just for offices. The main building, the two bigger towers, includes everything listed below.
