Asia Plaza Building, Skyscraper in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan
Description
Asia Plaza Building is a 27-story tower in central Taipei that combines office spaces with shops and services across its height. Lower floors hold a department store, while upper levels contain offices, hotels, and educational institutions.
History
The tower was completed in 1990 by architect C.Y. Lee and stood as the tallest building in West Taipei at the time. Its reign at the top lasted just 3 years before a taller structure took over in 1993.
Culture
The building brings together office workers, shoppers, and students under one roof, creating a busy mixing point where different groups of people cross paths throughout the day.
Practical
The building sits along Zhongxiao West Road and is easily accessible by public transportation in Taipei's center. You can explore the lower floors for shopping or visit the offices and hotels on higher levels depending on your needs.
Did you know?
The building was a symbol of modern Taipei in the 1990s and shaped the city's look during that era with its tall presence. Its brief time as the city's tallest structure shows how fast Taipei was growing and changing back then.
