Construction around TSMC’s Kaohsiung plant continues to advance! Nanke Nanzi Park, which covers an area of 182.57 hectares, has submitted a letter to the Ministry of the Interior for approval of the urban planning change. The surrounding housing market has also received attention. According to Shideng, the unit price of new Nanzi projects has already started with the prefix 5, and in some areas, there are also options with the prefix 3.
The latest announcement from the Kaohsiung City Government, "The case of changing the original Kaohsiung City Major Plan (Nanzi District) (in conjunction with the Southern Science Park expansion of Kaohsiung Third Park [Nanzi Park])" was submitted to the Ministry of the Interior for approval on October 22, and is still awaiting review by the central government.
The park is located in the former CNPC Kaohsiung Refinery. In line with the development of the semiconductor industry, the original industrial area, industrial special area and other land will be adjusted into the special business area and public facility land required by the science park, and roads, parks, green spaces and flood detention facilities will be configured.

Construction of P4 and P5 has started, Lianwai Transportation spent 15.5 billion yuan
Nanzi Park is the P1 to P5 layout base of TSMC Kaohsiung Wafer Factory 22. According to the progress announced by the city government in August this year, P1 has entered the mass production stage, P2 is planned to operate in the fourth quarter of this year, and P3 is targeted to be put into production in the first quarter of 2027; P4 and P5 will start simultaneously in August 2025, and are scheduled to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2027. This is a change in the overall park urban plan, not a new P6 factory.
In response to industrial transportation and commuting needs, 30 to 40 meters of main roads and connecting roads are planned in the park. In addition, in conjunction with the overall external transportation plan with a total investment of 15.591 billion yuan, the park will promote the addition of the Nanzi ramp, the Provincial Highway 1 ramp and the park connecting road on National Highway 1. It is expected to complete the main external projects by the end of 2028 to disperse the traffic load of the existing Nanzi Interchange.
According to statistics from the Kaohsiung City Real Estate Agency Sales Association, the highest unit price of some new projects has already reached the prefix 5. Local experts revealed that the highest unit price of a new project in Nanzi has reached 529,700 yuan, but this is not a common trend in the region. There are still new cases starting with "3" in this area, and the price gap is huge.
