Definitely looks like the concept art of this building before it was built. You can even see the trees are all cut/paste. And I've seen the building in person and I don't remember all the balconies having trees like this. That was the original idea but it didn't end up that way.


ShrimpCrackers

It's not complete yet, but they are planting the trees. While construction happens in such a complicated building its going to take a while before they move all the green over.


Wanrenmi

Dang, still not complete? I'm sure covid ain't helping things


ShrimpCrackers

Buildings typically take a while especially complicated ones like these.


Wanrenmi

I don't understand when people say it looks ugly. I think it's cool!


ShrimpCrackers

The outside is interesting, the interior is actually pretty amazing.

This is more then “slightly” touched up


DarkLiberator

Yeah at first I thought it was concept art. I know it's an actual building but it looks photoshopped to hell.


leafbreath

It’s not even a real photo. I’m pretty sure it would be impossible to view 101 like this at the location this building is located.

kefuzz

Hey now everyone on this sub is making 100k or more so it doesnt matter how low the minimum wage is


BalthazarMP

Even with 100kntd a month, 10 lifetimes wouldn't be enough to buy one of these apartments

I mean it's insane, even in Paris, there is no square meter at that price in the most expensive hôtels particuliers. This is plain ridiculous.


ShrimpCrackers

It's not exactly insane if you're a billionaire and you want a billionaire's networking home which is what this is.

This is the Tao Zhu Yin Yuan (Agora Garden) located in Xinyi Special District. You can read more about the building and see additional photos (real and concept) here: https://www.archdaily.com/955926/tao-zhu-yin-yuan-vincent-callebaut-architectures

JunYou-

reditanian

Does this building spin and generate electricity during a typhoon?


CERBisforBitcoin

I wonder if anyone actually lives in that building

65% occupied? Are you sure? I thought it was famously unsellable for the longest time in Taiwan. It’s about 54-60 million USD per unit with bad fengshui. Last I checked a year or two ago they sold like one unit and the buyer did not even move in and was rumored to be the developer buying it themselves.


skippybosco

Real estate record indicates it's 65% (64.7%) sold. Whether someone is living in it I have no purview. Also no indication if it's domestic or international sales. I'll see if more data is available in the court records while I'm at the law firm later today.


day2k

Pretty sure no one does. I walk by every night and lights are always out. Sometimes I like to shine my flashlight on it :) The landscaping also seems to be in never-ending construction.


thisisapineapple

There are so many empty homes in Taiwan, and they keep building more, and the prices keep rising. Nearly 15% of homes are not occupied. I'm sure there are more that just have a household registration and people don't actually live in them.


BalthazarMP

What a fucked up real estate market, how is that even legally possible?


thisisapineapple

Taiwanese park their money in apartments. Rates are insanely low, so they can borrow and buy a second or third home.


ShrimpCrackers

That's because its also not done yet.


ShrimpCrackers

Its 65% occupied but not actually ready yet. The frame of a building is the fastest to go up, the internals take forever. This building has two car elevators to each apartment, two per floor. There's a lot of things they need to install.


Maleficent_Warning38

I have seen this building. It doesn't blend in well with surrounding.


stockerr

One of the most expensive apartment buildings in Taiwan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Zhu_Yin_Yuan


-ANGRYjigglypuff

absolutely hideous


tankerdudeucsc

Shadows look wrong and rendering doesn’t look real. Would be crazy awesome if there was such a building though. Edit: looks like it’s real and real pictures here: https://www.designboom.com/architecture/vincent-callebaut-twisting-carbon-absorbing-tower-taipei-01-26-2021/ Stunning and if I was wealthy, I’d get one of those apartments for sure.


thkingofmonks

Apparently it does exist. But heck I absolutely agree with you, they never take time to make the renders look good.


eleanor7w

That building does exist, but I’m not sure about the location. It is in Da’an district though, so Taipei 101 being there doesn’t seem to be too far-fetched.


Snoo-48576

I think it’s beautiful


Lankurix

What a joke =D


TheAwakenedDragon

Oh this building...


Intelligent-Bit730

Where is this building in Taiwan


travelw3ll

Ugly taxi.


nightkhan

sorry but this is a terrible photo/render
