Among the most discussed topics of the housing market this year, the hottest topic in the Central and Southern Taiwan is definitely where TSMC’s new plants are going to be. Such as Sinhua or Shanhua district in the extended urban region of Tainan Science Park, which has experienced twofold to threefold price increase, while Kaohsiung’s Nanzi district pre-sale transaction price stands firmly at NT$300,000 per ping. It is evident that the subject of Science Parks has strong positive influence on the housing price. Moreover, rumors of TSMC’s construction plan of their new 2nm plant in Taichung has been repeatedly reported, if the rumors are true, it will be of strong support to the area’s housing price.
Science Park combines with transportation make the housing market promising
The Taichung city government team actively invites businesses to invest in the city, aims to expand the scale of the high-tech industry and to increase its output value and added value.

Up until May this year, money invested in Taichung has reached a whopping 147.8 billion Taiwanese dollars. Moreover, the first quarter’s eight economic indicators also ranked top of the whole nation for the third consecutive time.
In order to have more lands to support the high-tech industry’s next generation development, Taichung Science Park has chosen the adjacent 94 hectares land for their phase II expansion. Its range includes Taichung Golf & Country Club and its surrounding lands.
The relevant plan review and lands acquiring process are expected to be done as soon as next year. On the other hand, the news of TSMC’s 2nm plant expansion has been spread like wild fire in the housing market, a new wave of employed population will bring forth inelastic living demands, which serves directly as a booster shot for the area’s hosing market.

The city government has also preemptively dealt with the traffic problems that the development of industry clusters might bring. Through the traffic network formed by Shizheng road extension project、Taichung Science Park western and southern access roads、the National highway 1&3 and expressway 74，it quickly connects the high-tech galleries with major living circles, which includes the new city government area in the 7th redevelopment zone that only requires 20 minute drive、Shuinan Trade and Economic Park and so on, they both become the first choice areas for the tech upstarts when consider buying a house.
Dwell along science parks enjoys stable house price and price increase advantages
According to the local business owners, as soon as the news of TSMC’s 2nm plants comes out, plus the public transport networks become denser by days, the alternative transportations between railway infrastructures are many，this attract many investors to buy house in the new city government living circle. The new city government area is Taichung’s crucial political、economic、financial and culture center, it is also the well-known international architecture colosseum。Penetrated by Taiwan Boulevard and Shizheng Road the two arterial roads, Taiwan Boulevard is the route where MRT’s blue line is going to operate, which intersects with the MRT’s green line at the city government station, accompanied by department stores and shopping area. Shizheng road can be described as the future center where luxurious hotels and top-end commercial buildings gather, which has all the natural development and artificial planning advantages.
As we can see from the Actual Price Registration data, the current trading in the presale market of the 7th redevelopment zone is heavy, the new index projects such as “Shizheng Xin Rui”、“Platinum Mansion”、“Above and Beyond” and so on, the transaction price per ping has fall between 7 or 8 initial, or even in some cases at 9 initial. With the added price effect of the adjacent redevelopment zone, as well as the new tech upstarts moving into the area, the housing price in the 7th redevelopment zone will continue to perform well.

With this year’s Semicon Taiwan trade show set to kick off on Wednesday, market attention has turned to the mass production of advanced packaging technologies and capacity expansion in Taiwan and the US. With traditional scaling reaching physical limits, heterogeneous integration and packaging technologies have emerged as key solutions. Surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips has put technologies such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), integrated fan-out (InFO), system on integrated chips (SoIC), 3D IC and fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) at the center of semiconductor innovation, making them a major focus at this year’s trade show, according
DEBUT: The trade show is to feature 17 national pavilions, a new high for the event, including from Canada, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Sweden and Vietnam for the first time The Semicon Taiwan trade show, which opens on Wednesday, is expected to see a new high in the number of exhibitors and visitors from around the world, said its organizer, SEMI, which has described the annual event as the “Olympics of the semiconductor industry.” SEMI, which represents companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, and touts the annual exhibition as the most influential semiconductor trade show in the world, said more than 1,200 enterprises from 56 countries are to showcase their innovations across more than 4,100 booths, and that the event could attract 100,000 visitors. This year’s event features 17
SEMICONDUCTOR SERVICES: A company executive said that Taiwanese firms must think about how to participate in global supply chains and lift their competitiveness Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) yesterday said it expects to launch its first multifunctional service center in Pingtung County in the middle of 2027, in a bid to foster a resilient high-tech facility construction ecosystem. TSMC broached the idea of creating a center two or three years ago when it started building new manufacturing capacity in the US and Japan, the company said. The center, dubbed an “ecosystem park,” would assist local manufacturing facility construction partners to upgrade their capabilities and secure more deals from other global chipmakers such as Intel Corp, Micron Technology Inc and Infineon Technologies AG, TSMC said. It
EXPORT GROWTH: The AI boom has shortened chip cycles to just one year, putting pressure on chipmakers to accelerate development and expand packaging capacity Developing a localized supply chain for advanced packaging equipment is critical for keeping pace with customers’ increasingly shrinking time-to-market cycles for new artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) said yesterday. Spurred on by the AI revolution, customers are accelerating product upgrades to nearly every year, compared with the two to three-year development cadence in the past, TSMC vice president of advanced packaging technology and service Jun He (何軍) said at a 3D IC Global Summit organized by SEMI in Taipei. These shortened cycles put heavy pressure on chipmakers, as the entire process — from chip design to mass
