The Taichung Commercial Bank Headquarters project in Taiwan, a commercial mixed-use building is scheduled for a 2022 completion.  

Designed by Aedas, the project is a 200-meter-high tower located in the commercial center of Taichung. It comprises office space for the Taichung Commercial Bank, as well as luxury hotel accommodation. The design concept originates from a Chinese character which means “center,” and appears in the logo of the Taichung Commercial Bank.  

Instead of stacking all functions in a singular tower, the design creates two “separate” towers with a vertical void in the middle to connect them. A series of “floating” transparent glass boxes for large functions such as exhibition areas, sky gardens, conferencing facilities, a ballroom and a swimming pool are situated inside the void. The rooftop terrace features a restaurant and VIP club situated alongside a landscaped terrace and balcony with expansive views of the city. The building is scheduled for completion in 2022.
