KAOHSIUNG — The new Kaohsiung Main Station is only part of a massive urban renewal project planned for the area that will include three mixed-use high-rises ranging from 22 to 31 stories. Late last week, ETtoday reported that Kindom Development Co. (德冠德建設股份有限公司) had won the bid and will invest an estimated NT$9.5 billion (US$295 million) on urban renewal projects around Kaohsiung Main Station.
The city expects contract signing by the end of 2025, urban renewal approval in 2027, and project completion by 2034.
Kindom Development Chairman Ma Chih-kang (馬志綱) said the project draws inspiration from Tokyo’s Toranomon Hills, integrating commercial, residential, and public spaces to create “a city center alive both on weekdays and weekends.”
