Close to TSMC's Kaohsiung plant and the main stadium of the World Games, a concert resort in Kaohsiung, the Kaohsiung City Government has joined hands with the Southern Science and Technology Administration to promote the Kaohsiung MRT R17 World Games Station A5 public office project. Lin Qinrong, deputy mayor of Kaohsiung City, said that the A5 project will become an important logistics base to support the semiconductor supply chain, moving towards the 2030 completion goal.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the A5 Street Office Urban Renewal Project on the east side of Gaojie R17 World Games Station was held today. It was co-hosted by Lin Qinrong, Vice Mayor of Gao City, Li Xinchang, Deputy Director of Nanke Administration Bureau, and Lin Rongxian, Chairman of Rishengsheng.

Lin Qinrong explained that the total investment in this case is about 8 billion yuan. The base is only about 1.5 kilometers away from TSMC Nanzi Factory. In the future, it will build a composite technology park that combines A-level commercial offices, semiconductor industry work spaces, corporate dormitories and commercial services. It will also meet the needs of TSMC equipment suppliers and create a logistics base to support the semiconductor supply chain.

The Dugeng base covers an area of ​​about 1.4 hectares (approximately 4,200 square meters). The city government has discussed with the Nanjing Administration of Science and Technology in advance to attract investment and development of the Dugeng Office. It is planned to build three main buildings, including about 15,000 square meters of modern A-level commercial offices, 600 square meters of high-load laboratory space, and 1,000 square meters of commercial facilities for semiconductor supply chain manufacturers to move in.

The city government estimates that the value of the redistribution rights is about 4.831 billion yuan, which translates into 618 corporate dormitories. In the future, it will be led by the city government and operated as a service-oriented employee dormitory for high-tech industries to provide better living support for scientific and technological talents.

This project will directly connect to the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line R17 Shiyun Station through an approximately 150-meter pedestrian three-dimensional connection system, allowing scientific and technological talents to conveniently reach offices and living spaces by taking the MRT.

In his speech, Li Xinchang expressed his gratitude to the city government team for efficiently assisting the transformation of Nanzi Park and promoting the housing plan in only 5 months. Lin Rongxian, chairman of Rishengsheng, pointed out that the A5 project cooperates with the development of the semiconductor S corridor, integrates industrial offices, corporate housing and commercial facilities, and introduces commercial operation experience to attract companies and talents to settle in, creating a model of urban renewal and industrial development.
