SAN FRANCISCO—The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in San Francisco inaugurated its new building on Feb. 27, marking a milestone in U.S.–Taiwan relations.
TECO serves as a de facto embassy for Taiwan. Previously, San Francisco’s TECO had operated out of leased spaces rather than having its own building.
During the opening ceremony, Alexander Tah-ray Yui, Taiwan’s representative to the United States, said that “U.S.–Taiwan relations are rock solid” and that “Taiwan is an asset, not a liability” to the United States.
Permanent Presence in San Francisco
The new office building, located at 4th Street near Folsom Street in downtown San Francisco, stands seven stories tall with a total floor area of approximately 56,000 square feet.
