The United Daily News Office Building, also known as UDN Building (Chinese: 聯合報辦公大樓; pinyin: Lián Hé Bào Bàngōng Dàlóu), is a mixed-used skyscraper building located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan.[1] The building was completed in 2018, with a total floor area of 60,147.43 m^2 (647,421.5 sq ft) and a height of 145.6 m (478 ft) that comprise 34 floors above ground, as well as 5 basement levels.[2][3] It houses the corporate headquarters of United Daily News. The first to 20th floors of the building are offices whilst the 21st to 34th floors are used for residential apartment units.[4][5]

Design

The building was designed by the Taiwanese architect Kris Yao, inspired by the Daily News Building in New York City.[6] The building's design adopts a futuristic sensation by utilising aluminum claddings as well as a glass façade.[7] The 8-meter high office lobby is presented like a public gallery space, with sculptures of Chinese-calligraphy symbols on the walls.[8]
