Chinatrust Financial Building

The Sky Taipei is located on the site of the former Chinatrust Financial Building, the headquarters of CTBC Financial Holding, which was built in 1996 and was demolished in 2016 to make way for the new building.

Construction started in 2019 and is to be completed by 2024.[4][5]

The tower will house two luxury hotels by Hyatt: Andaz Taipei and Park Hyatt Taipei.
