Kaohsiung Aozi has announced that two major commercial developments, Yixiangtiandi Building B and Fubon Kaohsiung Star, will be opened one after another in the year to come. The Facebook group "Have a Better Life in Kaohsiung" compared the two and believed that Fubon Kaohsiung Star has a greater chance of winning.

"Have a Better Life in Kaohsiung" pointed out that the opening of Yixiang Tiandi Building B (Exiang Empire/La Yang Plaza) is getting later and later, and the opening time of Fubon Kaohsiung Star (Hanshen Department Store Building 3) is getting closer and closer, and it should be opened in 2027 and 2028.

These two projects are the two largest commercial development projects in North Kaohsiung, and their configurations are also similar. In terms of shopping malls, Hanshen's single hall is 45,000 square meters vs. Yixiang Fashion Plaza is 25,000 square meters + La Yang Plaza is 20,000 square meters (including the movie theater area). According to the "Kaohsiung Better Life" analysis, everyone agrees that Hanshen won before it even opened. Yixiang has not even finished recruiting the high-quality products on the first floor. Facing the new Hanshen store, the pressure to attract investment is even greater.

In terms of cinemas, Yixiang plans 14 halls with about 2,600 seats; Hanshen plans 14 halls. Both have planned large-scale giant screen halls. Among them, Yixiang's size should be relatively large, but there were still variables in the original Village Show's entry.

In terms of hotels, Yixiang is a Marriott hotel with a total of 700 rooms. It is currently the largest five-star hotel in Kaohsiung, with an annual turnover of approximately 2 billion, surpassing Hi-Lai. Fubon's hotel has not yet announced its operator, and has about 200 rooms. "Kaohsiung is Better" pointed out that unless it can introduce a significantly higher-level brand, it will be considered a win for Marriott.

In terms of commercial offices, Fubon 47th floor vs. Yixiang 29th floor, "Kaohsiung Live Better" believes that Fubon wins based on comprehensive factors such as building design and specifications. In addition to its larger area, Fubon Kaohsiung Star also has many additional facilities, including the aquarium operated by Nanren Lake, which is located on the 8th to 11th floors and includes a 3-story large water tank; there is also a sports center spanning 7 floors and covering 7,143 square meters, including an ice palace, bowling, laser jungle, children's fitness, basketball court, swimming pool, etc.

"Kaohsiung Life Is Better" analyzed that the MRT Aozi Di Station is also directly connected to the Fubon Kaohsiung Star basement, and the transportation is also advantageous. It is predicted that the performance of the department store is likely to surpass the Dome in the future and become the king of stores in Kaohsiung, and the performance may even be 2 to 3 times that of Yixiang.
