The Global One (Chinese: 世界明珠) is an under-construction skyscraper complex located in Nangang District, Taipei, Taiwan. The residential and commercial development project launched by Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation and consists of eight buildings, with Towers A and H designated for office use, while Towers B–G serve as residential buildings, with heights of 126.9 m (416 ft), with 27 floors above ground and 4 below ground. The site was originally the location of the company's first factory, designated as industrial land. Through long-term land development and the donation of a portion of the land for the Taipei Music Center, the area was reclassified as residential and commercial land through urban planning adjustments. Construction officially began on November 11, 2019. The development is situated between Section 2 of Nangang Road and Section 8 of Civic Boulevard in Taipei, adjacent to the Taipei Music Center. The construction process of Global One was featured in Discovery Channel’s documentary series Building the Future Metropolis (Chinese: 打造未來之都), which aimed to chronicle the project's progress over four years, with completion initially expected in 2023. The development incorporates high-strength steel SM570M and seismic dampers, with 220 foundation piles extending 15 metres into the bedrock. The structural design includes box-shaped steel columns filled with 10,000-psi concrete, along with high-ductility beam-column connections, reportedly capable of withstanding seismic activity equivalent to the 0.4G safety shutdown threshold of the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant. In response to Taipei City's Eastern Gateway Development Plan, Nankang Rubber Tire revised its original proposal, which initially included four residential buildings, two office towers, and an international hotel. The final design consists of two office towers and six residential buildings. The project's architectural planning was undertaken by three major architectural firms, while the construction was carried out by Taiwan Kumagai Construction and Kajima Engineering. The exterior design was led by architect Lee Jun-Ping. In 2022, Global One recorded the highest unit price in the district's real estate transactions.
