Lih-Rong An Imperial Crown Building

The Lih-Rong An Imperial Crown Building is a skyscraper in Keelung's business district that rises 148 meters with 34 floors above ground and 7 underground levels. It contains office spaces, retail shops, and parking facilities beneath street level, all connected to the city's central transportation network.

The building was completed in 2000 and marked a period of strong growth in Taiwan's urban development as the new millennium began. This timing coincided with a phase of intense architectural renewal in the region.

The building shows a blend of contemporary commercial design with local Taiwanese architectural touches, visible in how its structure and spaces are arranged. This mix reflects how modern construction in the city connects with its identity.

The complex is centrally located with easy access by public transportation and is visible from throughout the city thanks to its height. It is best visited during daylight to appreciate the structure and surroundings.

Engineers incorporated special reinforcement techniques into the foundation to protect the structure from both earthquakes and strong coastal winds from the nearby harbor. While these solutions are not immediately visible to visitors, they shape the stability and longevity of the structure.
