(Central News Agency, Kaohsiung, 12th) The Kaohsiung City Government held an investment promotion conference in Taipei on the 12th for the "Zuoying District Guomao Section, Lot 2 and 2 other lots, Urban Renewal Project Public Selection of Implementer Case." The project is expected to attract approximately NT$14.6 billion in private investment and revitalize about 2.48 hectares of municipal land.
Kaohsiung Deputy Mayor Lin Chin-jung led the city government team to attend. He stated that under the leadership of Mayor Chen Chi-mai, Kaohsiung has been vigorously promoting urban renewal and public land revitalization policies in recent years. Since August 2020, 24 publicly-led urban renewal projects have been initiated, with a cumulative investment of NT$283.2 billion. According to the Ministry of Finance, Kaohsiung's investment promotion amount last year reached NT$111.6 billion, and it has won the national "Investment Promotion Excellence Award" for four consecutive years.
Lin pointed out that with the entry of major technology companies like TSMC into the North Kaohsiung Semiconductor S-Corridor, the Zuoying and Nanzih areas are ushering in an opportunity for industrial upgrading. The semiconductor industry has high spillover effects, with approximately 8 service industry personnel needed to support every 1 engineer. Future related industries and population influx are expected to drive surrounding employment and living service demands, becoming a key driver for Zuoying's development.
A press release from the Urban Development Bureau on the 12th stated that the site includes the "National Key Fields Intercollegiate Research and Education Park" C-base. It is about a 5-minute walk from the TRA Zuoying Station and within a 5-minute drive from the HSR Zuoying Station, Hanshin Arena, and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, offering advantages in transportation and living functions. It plays a crucial role in connecting high-tech industries with talent cultivation.
The city government noted that universities have already established a presence in Kaohsiung to develop practical courses, cultivating talent to meet the needs of the semiconductor industry. To reduce development risks, the city government has completed approximately 30% of the detailed design for the park's second hall and multi-functional activity center, incorporating it into the tender documents to help investment teams shorten the planning period. The project was announced for tender on June 1st, with bid submissions expected by 5:00 PM on September 30th.
Furthermore, the tender conditions require the implementer to donate 80 public parking spaces and allocate a portion of the floor area ratio bonus to the urban renewal fund, balancing public interest and sustainable urban development. The architectural design must adopt a stepped massing configuration to preserve the visual axis of the Fengyi Gate of the old Fengshan City, balancing historical landscape with urban renewal needs.
