Foxconn will invest NT$15.9 billion (US$509.94 million) to build its Kaohsiung headquarters in southern Taiwan. That would include a mixed-use commercial and office building and a residential tower, it said. Construction is scheduled to start in 2027, with completion targeted for 2033.

The project is targeting three main buyer groups: professionals linked to industries associated with the expanding Pingtung Science Park and related supply chains, Pingtung natives returning from northern Taiwan, and higher-income local residents seeking primary residences, including professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and accountants.

Civic groups argue that the forested land surrounding the former sugar refinery represents one of northern Kaohsiung’s most significant remaining green spaces, supporting both wildlife habitat and public use. They say large-scale development would not only disrupt the historic setting of the sugar factory but also erase an irreplaceable urban forest.

Workers currently need to detour through Manila, adding hours of travel and additional expense, but a restored Kaohsiung–Laoag service would cut both costs and transit time for Ilocano families, and boost ties, says Ilocos Norte Governor .

The gap between leading enterprises is actually widening, making Taiwan’s strategic position in the global supply chain even more prominent.

Structural work and exterior walls are largely complete, and the store is scheduled to open in mid-2026, replacing Costco’s existing Kaohsiung founding location.

Twelve lighting installations are spread throughout Central Park, and will remain on display through January 4, 2026.

The line would connect Daliao (大寮) to Linyuan (林園), forming the southern section of the Kaohsiung MRT circle and linking major industrial and residential districts.

The site is connected via light rail to the Kaohsiung Machinery Plant redevelopment (高雄機廠) and the 205th Arsenal area. Officials expect major changes in the “fourth quadrant” of the circular line within five years.
