The Asia-Pacific Financial Plaza (Chinese: 宏總亞太財經廣場; pinyin: Hóng zǒng yàtài cáijīng guǎngchǎng) is a 169.8 metres (557 ft) tall skyscraper in Lingya District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It was completed in 1992 and was designed by Hoy Architects & Associates. It was the first building in Taiwan to reach a height of 150 m.[1]
History
After its completion in April 1992, the Asia-Pacific Financial Plaza became the tallest building in Taiwan surpassing the 143.4 meters high Tuntex Tower in Taipei. However, it only kept this title for 3 months when the Chang-Gu World Trade Center in Kaohsiung was completed on 9 July 1992.[2][3]
