Originally the site of the Xinyi District Administrative Center, the building was identified in 2015 as a high-chloride ion concrete structure and recommended for demolition and reconstruction. This project represents the largest urban renewal case under the hazardous and old building reconstruction program.
The site is a narrow rectangular shape, with its short sides facing Xinyi Road Section 5 and Songlian Road, serving as the main and secondary entrances respectively. The east long side borders adjacent buildings, while the west side faces an urban green space, directly across Songzhi Road from Taipei 101.

The floor plan concentrates the transportation core on the east side, allowing all office rental units to face west for unobstructed green views and landmark scenery, maximizing views of the park and Taipei 101. This off-center core strategy improves spatial efficiency and creates highly attractive leasing conditions
The tower's curved corner design not only softens the building's exterior appearance but also enhances the interface between the building and its outdoor environment.
