Taipei 101 / TAIPEI 101[1], formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center – is a landmark supertall skyscraper in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building was officially classified as the world's tallest from 2004 until the 2010 completion of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. In 2011, the building received Platinum certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, and became the tallest and largest green building in the world.[9][10] At one point it had the fastest elevator in the world, traveling at 60.6 km/h (37.7 mph) and transporting passengers from the 5th to 89th floor in 37 seconds.
Construction on the 101-story tower, which is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, lasted from 1999 to 2004.
Designed to evoke both technology and Asian tradition, with a postmodernist style that puts a modern spin on traditional design elements, the tower serves as an icon of modern Taiwan. Fireworks launched from Taipei 101 feature prominently in international New Year's Eve broadcasts and the structure appears frequently in travel literature and international media.
A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the tower houses hundreds of stores, restaurants, and clubs.
Taipei 101 is owned by Taipei Financial Center Corporation.
