tower to serve as an anchor for new development
in Taipei's 101 business district.
• It wasn't until the summer of 2001 that the city
granted a license for the construction of a 101-
story tower on the site. In the meantime,
construction proceeded and the first tower column
was erected in the summer of 2000.

show at Taipei 101 heralded the arrival of a new year.
