AI-generated summary
After the Jitai Dazhi collapse accident, the city government promoted the renovation of surrounding public offices, but the reconstruction of the original site for the hardest-hit households stalled due to cooperation with Jitai.
After the Jitai Dazhi collapse accident, the two public office bases outside affected by the accident have successfully started and completed investment promotion. The east-side "Dazhi Ruyu" and the south-side "Dazhi Tibetan Seal", which the Beishi Judu Center is the implementer, both have approval rates exceeding the 75% threshold, and both were successfully invited for investment on August 28, 2026. On the east side, "Dazhi Ruyu" was selected as the best applicant by Huangchang Construction. It is expected to build two SC steel-framed gold-level green buildings with 19 floors above ground and 4 floors underground, and is expected to create a real estate value of more than 10 billion yuan. On the south side, "Dazhi Cangxi" was selected as the best applicant by Changhong Construction. It is expected to build two gold-level green buildings with 24 floors above ground and 4 floors underground. It is estimated that it will create a real estate value of more than 12 billion yuan.
Compared with the public offices on the east and south sides, which have been smoother in attracting investment, the reconstruction progress of Du Geng, where the 25 households hit hardest by the collapse, has been severely hampered. Resident Zuo Yiyou described Jitai's handling method as a deformed "Jitai model" of "first knocking down the neighboring houses, and then forcing them to replace them all." Initially, the city government had set a scope to conduct a survey on the willingness of public housing units. However, due to the suspected instigation of Jitai's backbone and the spread of remarks such as "public housing units will be as ugly and of poor quality like social housing", only 8 households were surveyed, and about 30% of the households agreed. The project failed to reach the legal threshold of 75% and the project was still unsuccessful. 25 households that were hit hard subsequently chose to jointly organize their own housing projects with Jitai.
However, it is extremely difficult to advance the reconstruction progress of the 25 collapsed households in cooperation with Jitai. Jitai submitted a business plan for approval in January 2025. Because technical issues such as volume bonus, architectural design, and the cleaning of solid cement blocks, diaphragm wall steel bars, and construction equipment deep underground in the base were not clarified in January 2025, the North City Government requested supplementary parts. Jitai failed to make up for it twice, and the second time it was requested by the city government. The business plan was rejected by the North City Government in accordance with the law in April 2025, and the originally approved updated unit was invalidated.
Kitai resubmitted its business plan in September 2025. It is still stuck in the volume transfer and urban design review stages, and the reconstruction schedule is far away. During the period of reconstruction and suspension, Kitai even converted the remaining land into an unlicensed toll parking lot without authorization and opened it to the public. After multiple reports from residents and a reply from the parking management office that "no business was found," the profit-making equipment of the parking lot was not removed until a media reporter drove to interview for an actual test and slapped him in the face.

Affected by the high housing prices in Shuangtai City, home buyers with limited budgets have expanded to Taoyuan and surrounding counties and cities in New Taipei City to purchase properties. Statistics from Yongqing Real Estate Group show that among the top five administrative districts in North Taoyuan with the highest population growth in the past year, Taoyuan City's Grand Park has the highest growth rate of 2.9%, followed by New Taipei City's Tamsui District at about 1.7%, and Taoyuan City's Guanyin District and Guishan District tied for third. Industry players pointed out that the park has benefited from the development of Taoyuan Airport City and transportation construction.
