Tuntex Sky Tower

Tuntex Sky Tower, or the T & C Tower , 85 SKYTOWER, is an 85-floor skyscraper located in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Situated in the downtown Ling Ya district the structure is 348 m (1140 feet) high. An antenna pushes the building height to 378 m. The building was constructed from 1994 to 1996 and opened in 1997. It is the tallest in Kaohsiung, and was the tallest in Taiwan until the completion of Taipei 101. It replaced the Shin Kong Life Tower (244.2 m, 801 ft) as the tallest building in Taiwan when it was completed.

The tower has an unusual 'prong' design with two separate 35-floor sections, these merge into a single central tower rising to a spire. This unique design leaves a substantial space below the central part of the tower. The design was inspired by the Chinese character Kao (or Gao ?), meaning "tall," and also the first character in the city's name.
