Abandoned 85 Sky Tower in Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Подробнее о видео

Designed by the same architectural firm that designed Taipei 101, 85 Sky Tower (高雄85大樓) is an 85-story skyscraper in Kaohsiung (高雄), Taiwan.

The building is 347.5 m (1,140 ft) high, and an antenna increases the pinnacle height to 378 m (1,240 ft).

Constructed from 1994-1997, it’s the tallest building in Kaohsiung, and the 2nd tallest in Taiwan after the Taipei 101.

The design was inspired by the Chinese character KAO (高) meaning tall, and also part of the city’s name.

As of 2025, 85 Sky Tower has largely become abandoned. Many of the offices and businesses that once occupied the building have moved out, and the shopping mall has closed down.

Even the observatory deck that used to offer a stunning view of the city has been completely emptied.

I had a chance to go up in 2018, and 85 Sky Tower remains a popular tourist attraction due to its location near the harbor.
