About the Shin Kong Life Tower
Shin Kong Life Tower, 51 stories high and 245 m (803.8 ft) tall, was among the first skyscrapers in Taiwan. A rose-colored shaft with a pyramid on top, it rises in Taipei's Zhongzheng District, facing Taipei Main Station over Zhongxiao Road. The lowest twelve floors plus two basement levels hold a Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store; above that are offices and the home base of the insurer Shin Kong Life.
The tower opened on December 21, 1993, after construction that began in 1989, and the cost came to US$270 million. It held the title of Taiwan's tallest building at its opening. Shin Kong Life Insurance Company engaged the Japanese firm Kaku Morin Group Architects and Engineers (KMG) to build a dual-use tower of offices and a major department store. The site had earlier held the Taiwan Railway Hotel, which stood there from 1908 until allied bombing destroyed it in 1945.
The front of the building is set back 31 m from the street, which made room for a 1,170-square-meter plaza. The design included an observatory level on the 46th floor and separate elevators for shoppers, office workers and observatory visitors. Aluminum covers the exterior, chosen to weather well in typhoons and tropical sun. The rose color was inspired by the plum blossom and cherry blossom, the national flowers of Taiwan and Japan.
