According to the MRT Bureau's planning, this 5,450-square-foot land will be signed by Weiwuying Joint Development Company, a joint venture of Dali, Huayoulian, and Haiyue, with a total investment of 25.3 billion yuan (including 36.2 billion repurchase rights) to build five complex buildings with 38 to 52 floors above ground, making it the largest joint development project in Kaohsiung MRT.
The O10/Y18 Weiwuying Station joint development project includes hotels, offices, residences, shops and community living facilities. The residential part is about 73,000 square meters. There are 2,100 planned residences, and the square meters are between more than 20 square meters and more than 40 square meters. The commercial hotel is about 8,000 square meters. However, the environmental impact assessment and construction license application have not yet been carried out. It is expected that construction will not start until 2028 and will be completed in phases from 2033 to 2036.
The Facebook group "Have a Better Life in Kaohsiung" believes that the construction of Y18 station on the yellow line is already in full swing. The hinterland of this project will provide an underground transfer passage between O10 and Y18 stations, connected by a sunken open space "Ecological Valley". Since the two stations are long distance, it is likely to adopt a transfer mode outside the station with "no deduction for entry and exit within a certain period of time". The landscaping of the passage and the commercial space on the side can psychologically improve the walking willingness to transfer.
In the Liankai Building, the tallest 52-story hotel is planned and designed on the ground floor. After completion, it will be leased back by Weiwuying Development Company for 10 years, and then an international team will be introduced to operate it. It was previously reported that Japan's Mitsui Group is one of the potential hotel partners.
The space on the first floor is equipped with a Black Box performance theater, which can accommodate 120-200 audiences and various types of performances and activities. It will be given priority to new theater groups.
The lower floors of the building serve as a base for incubating youth entrepreneurship and support the development of local arts and cultural groups in Kaohsiung. Through flexible space planning, the central core square can hold temporary exhibitions, holiday markets, concerts and other activities, creating a "Weiwuying Art Hill" full of artistic charm.
"Kaohsiung Live Better" pointed out that the surrounding Lalaport may open early next year. It is also worth noting whether this station plans to connect to Fengshan West Station in the future. If all is completed, this station will become the core station of Fengshan Midtown and will be the most important commercial core in East Kaohsiung.

The top floor unit on the 29th floor of Diamond Towers Taipei Star, a well-known luxury building project in Taipei City, was sold at the end of July for a total price of 350.04 million yuan. The unit price per square meter is 2.3601 million yuan, which is more than 330,000 yuan lower than the 2690,600 yuan per square meter on the 28th floor downstairs. The discount is less than 82%. This year, the construction project has revealed a total of 7 actual prices, 6 of which did not purchase parking spaces, and 6 units were sold in two months for nearly 1.67 billion yuan in cash. However, most of the units had false seizure records. Industry players point out that it is rare for luxury homes to be sold without parking spaces, which may reflect the builder's capital turnover pressure. They also warn that the unit price of the government's rebates will be significantly lowered in the future.

According to Yongqing Real Estate Group’s statistics from 2021 to the first half of 2026, the actual price disclosure data shows that, with the exception of Taoyuan City and Hsinchu County and City, the proportion of transactions of small houses (less than 30 square meters) in the six cities all accounted for more than 30%, with Taipei City accounting for the highest 47.7%, and New Taipei City 44.1%; at the same time, the proportion of large houses with more than 50 square meters in Liudu and Hsinchu counties and cities has all declined in the past six years, with New Taipei City having the largest decrease of 7.7 percentage points. The unit price increase of small houses is generally higher than that of large houses. Hsinchu County and City ranked first with a 76.6% increase in unit price in six years.

In Dongli, Fengshan District Town, Kaohsiung City, the historic Dongfu Bridge is too low, narrow and prone to flooding, affecting residents' commuting and shopping. The city government will invest 160 million yuan to build a 102-meter-long steel bridge across Fengshan Creek. Construction is expected to be completed next year and as early as 2028 to improve traffic bottlenecks and protect cultural assets.

Due to the saturation of development in Luzhou District, new pre-sale projects are extremely rare. There is only one project "First View - Future" for sale, with the highest unit price reaching 910,400/square meter. Experts point out that insufficient supply is the main reason for the high housing prices in Luzhou. The actual price of new houses in the area shows that the average price of new houses is 854,200 per square meter, and the price of medieval houses also maintains the prefix 7. Although there are existing housing projects such as "Golden Mansion" and "Manulife Union" for sale, the location and public facilities are not as good as those in the Jixian Road section, and the attractiveness remains to be seen. Housing prices in Luzhou are mainly supported by local owner-occupied demand and tight supply, which is described as a "unique" market phenomenon.
