Ministry of Finance Announces Tender for 4 Prime Land Plots for Long-Term Care Industry

Central News Agency, Taipei, May 25. The Ministry of Finance's National Property Administration (NPA) is promoting the setting of land use rights for the long-term care industry and today announced the tender for four prime state-owned land plots near hospitals. These include one plot each in New Taipei City, Taoyuan City, Tainan City, and Chiayi City, with a total base price of over NT$222.32 million. All plots are zoned as residential, totaling approximately 0.85 hectares. The announcement period is three months, ending on August 24. The NPA explained that this public tender for designated industries is in line with long-term care policies to specify the types of long-term care institutions to be set up. The base prices for the tender rights and annual interest rates are lower than those for general public tenders. The total base price for the rights is over NT$222.32 million, the duration of the land use right is 70 years, and the base annual interest rate for land rent is 3%, with 1% of the annual interest rate adjusting with the declared land value. For the current batch of tender targets, the NPA explained that there are four plots in total, with a land area of about 0.85 hectares, all zoned as residential. Considering the location needs of long-term care institutions, each plot is near a hospital, with rich regional facility resources and mature living functions. Among them, the NPA stated that two plots are being listed for the first time, including land in Longtan District, Taoyuan City, about 8 km from the Armed Forces Taoyuan General Hospital, and land in Yongkang District, Tainan City, about 700 meters from the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital Tainan Branch. The other two plots have been listed before, including land in Linkou District, New Taipei City, about 4 km from Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and land in Chiayi City, 600 meters from the Taichung Veterans General Hospital Chiayi Branch. Each plot is designated for specific types of long-term care institutions based on regional needs, and at least one must be built. The scale of the long-term care institution must comply with the "Standards for the Establishment of Long-Term Care Service Institutions," and the remaining space can be used for other purposes in accordance with land use zoning regulations. The NPA stated that the public tender for designated industries began in 2024, and in 2025, a plot in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, was successfully bid on. The winner plans to combine it with a long-term care legal entity to build a day care center and group home, combined with sports facilities to create an elderly-friendly space. This year's public selection process will be divided into two stages: the first stage is qualification review, open to corporate legal entities, foundations, and associations; the second stage is the evaluation of proposals submitted by qualified bidders, including professional ability, planning concepts, and financial plans.
