As Taiwan’s stature as a globally significant economy has grown, so has its need for a major landmark building. TAIPEI 101 answers that need with a 508 meter, 101 floor commercial and retail center that claims its place among the world’s most celebrated building.
 
     
 
     
   
 
TAIPEI 101 is strategically located at the heart of the XinYi Planned District, which is now the location of choice for commerce in Taipei and the most cosmopolitan mixed-used environment comprising business, retail, leisure and residential facilities.
 
     
     
     
     
 
 
 

Over the past four decades, Taiwan has emerged as one of the major economic powerhouses of the Asia Pacific region. As the economy continues to grow, the Government and people strive to transform Taiwan further into a major business center of the world. Being the political, economic and cultural center of Taiwan, Taipei City has always played the role of a locomotive, and TAIPEI 101 will become an integral part of this grand and ambitious plan.

Besides, it is a major BOT project that represents the first successful joint effort between the public and the private sector—a consortium comprising the “Who’s Who” of Taiwan’s blue-chip business giants. Meanwhile, the project is a critical component of the glittering XinYi District Masterplan, which has created the ultimate business, leisure and residential environments.

As Mayor of this dynamic city, I cordially welcome the forthcoming completion and opening of TAIPEI 101 and I wish TAIPEI 101 a great success in the years to come.
