Cathay Zhonghua Tower (Chinese: 國泰中華大樓) is a skyscraper located in Wanhua District, Taipei, Taiwan. The height of the building is 129.5 m (425 ft), with a total floor area of 28,232 m2 (303,890 sq ft), comprising 28 floors above ground.[3] The building is a part of the old Zhonghua Building urban renewal project.[4] The old building was demolished in 2019 to make way for the new building, which was completed in October 2022.[5]
