List of tallest buildings in Taichung

This list of tallest buildings in Taichung lists the tallest buildings in Taichung by height. Taichung, located in Central Taiwan, is the second largest city in Taiwan by population, with a population of more than 2.8 million. As of March 2024, Taichung has 18 buildings over 150 meters (492 ft) in height.

Taichung is the employment, life and economic center of central Taiwan. Along with the development of industry and commerce, there was a boom in building skyscrapers in Taiwan in the 1990s. At present, there are 54 high-rise buildings built above 120 meters (including roofing and reconstruction) in Taichung City.

The first skyscraper in Taichung took shape around this period. Skyscrapers built during this period were mainly distributed on both sides of Section 2 of Taiwan Boulevard(original Taichung Port Road,) at the junction of the West District and North District. The second skyscraper settlement in Taichung is located on the north side of Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone in Xitun District. At present, almost all tall buildings over 120 meters are in this area. There are 35 buildings that have been completed and topped out(2021.) more than two-thirds of the city's tall buildings above 120 meters are in this area.[1]

The first buildings to surpass 150 metres (492 ft) in Taichung is the 37–story Long-Bang Trade Plaza complex, which were completed in 1993 and are each 160 m (520 ft) tall. Currently, the tallest building in Taichung is the 47–story The Landmark (Taichung), which rises 192 metres (630 ft) and was completed in 2018.

There are currently several skyscrapers under construction or proposed in Taichung, including the Taichung Commercial Bank Headquarters, which is under construction and will reach 225 metres (738 ft) when completed in 2023 [2] and the Intelligence Operation Center, which is currently under planning and will reach 262 metres (860 ft).
