Public Urban Renewal Contracts Signed for East and South Sides of Tilted Dazhi Building, Bringing In About NT$9,493 Million

The Taipei City Government said that on October 28, 2026, Deputy Mayor and Taipei Urban Regeneration and Housing Center Chairman Chang Wen-te signed contracts separately with Huang Chung-lei, chairman of the Huangchang Furong Cooperative Alliance, and Li Wen-tsao, chairman of Changhong Construction. The contracts cover the "Dazhi Public Urban Renewal Project" for two sites on the east and south sides of the tilted Dazhi building. The two projects are expected to bring in about NT$9,493 million in investment, with about NT$4,462 million for the east site and about NT$5,031 million for the south site.

The east site will be built by the Huangchang Furong Cooperative Alliance, with 2 steel-structure buildings planned at 19 floors above ground and 4 below, with a gross floor area of about 8,779 ping. The south site will be built by Changhong Construction, with 2 steel-reinforced concrete buildings planned at 24 floors above ground and 4 below, with a gross floor area of about 11,383 ping. Together the two projects will have 4 residential towers, with a total gross floor area of about 20,162 ping.

Chang Wen-te said that after the Kindom Dazhi construction safety incident in September of ROC year 112, the city government stepped in right away with public urban renewal to help build a consensus on rebuilding among 247 households. When the Center first put the project out for investment bids in ROC year 114, no developer submitted a bid. After reviewing the financial structure and bidding conditions, it put the project out for bids a second time in the first half of ROC year 115, and the contracts were signed on October 28.

On construction, the city government said the two sites will use the top-down construction method, thickened diaphragm walls and construction monitoring to reduce the impact of underground excavation on neighboring buildings. The two projects are also expected to obtain Building Energy Efficiency Level 1+ certification, Gold-level green building certification, the Intelligent Building Label and the Seismic Design Label, and will set back from the site boundaries to leave open space that links the school campus and the park.

The rebuilding of the tilted Kindom Dazhi building itself is still at the urban renewal and urban design review stage. The Taipei City Government stressed that Kindom remains responsible for the rebuilding and for compensation for property losses.
