Kaohsiung Nong 16 has a new shopping mall! The three-dimensional parking lot built by Lian Shang Group was opened on the 13th, providing 1,700 parking spaces for automobiles and motorcycles. The mall is expected to open in the third quarter of 2027. The chairman of Lian Shang Group revealed that the overall investment amount increased from the original 2 billion yuan to 3.2 billion yuan, an additional 1.2 billion yuan, adding another complex commercial landmark to the Nong 16 business district.

The Aozidi three-dimensional parking lot is located next to the Aozidi Forest Park. It is Kaohsiung City's "35-parking land BOT project". It is invested and constructed by Lianshang Group. It is planned to have 8 floors above ground and 4 floors underground, with a total floor area of ​​approximately 16,800 square meters. Construction started in January 2021. After nearly 6 years of construction, the parking lot was officially opened on the 13th.

The project provides 600 parking spaces for cars and 1,100 parking spaces for motorcycles, totaling 1,700 seats. It is combined with a shopping mall, A-grade commercial offices, a 24-hour library and administrative service space to transform the original parking lot into a complex building, allowing people to park, shop and conduct business in the same building in the future.

Lin Qinrong, deputy mayor of Kaohsiung City, said that the project is located in the mature residential area of ​​Nong 16, and is connected to the Aozidi Station of the MRT Red Line and the Heart of Love Light Rail Station in the surrounding area. Through the BOT model, private resources are introduced into public construction to improve the efficiency of public land use, and integrate parking, administrative services, libraries and commercial spaces to improve the surrounding living functions.

Su Yongyi, chairman of Lianshang Group, revealed that the project originally estimated an investment of 2 billion yuan. As development progressed, the final investment amount increased to 3.2 billion yuan, an increase of 1.2 billion yuan.

Among them, the shopping mall is expected to open in the third quarter of 2027. A-level commercial offices are currently recruiting investment. The number of office space units has not been disclosed to the public. Su Yongyi revealed: "A-level businesses have already settled in, and the rent is also above 2,000 yuan." In addition, public departments such as the Gushan Household Registration Office, the Traffic Police Brigade of the Police Department and the Kaohsiung Municipal Library will also gradually move into the building to integrate administrative, cultural and commercial functions and provide residents with more diversified public services.
