The Yang Ma Tower, formerly known as Taichung Condominium Tower (Chinese: 白朗峰), is a 41-story, 163.8 m (537 ft) tall residential skyscraper located in Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan.[1] The building has a total floor area of 68,501 m2 (737,340 sq ft), and it comprises six basement levels.[2] Construction of the skyscraper began in 2014 and it was completed in 2019.[3] As of December 2020, it is the second tallest residential skyscraper in Taichung, the 8th tallest building in Taichung and 28th tallest in Taiwan.

Design[edit]

The tower is jointly designed by the American architectural firm Richard Meier & Partners and HOY Architects. The building is divided into two north–south towers, connected through a central core area.[4] The main façade structure of the South Tower is a white translucent glass curtain wall, which allows natural light to enter the building and also allows residents to maintain privacy. There is a public sky garden on the 16th floor of the North Tower, which serves as a viewing platform.[5]
