Neihu sea-sand house transforms into 21-story green building under '575 Project,' securing 100% bonus

Taipei's "575 Project" for redeveloping hazardous buildings has seen its first project officially sign contracts, marking the beginning of a significant urban renewal effort. The initial project involves transforming a sea-sand house in Neihu into a 21-story, silver-rated green building. This initiative is designed to accelerate the replacement of dangerous structures across the city.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an highlighted the project's importance, stating it addresses buildings with high chloride concrete, those marked with red or yellow tags, and structures with insufficient seismic resistance. The Neihu project, specifically the Kang Le Street Lane 136 public housing redevelopment, received unanimous support from residents, demonstrating strong community consensus. The city government actively assisted in the planning and integration process, securing a 100% volume bonus for the project.

This case is a high-chloride concrete building (sea-sand house) that the city government has listed as requiring demolition and reconstruction. Since the city government began accepting applications in 2024, the city government team has actively assisted in scheme evaluation and related integration work, helping to assess disaster prevention-type volume bonuses and striving for a 100% volume bonus, demonstrating the city government's determination to promote the renewal of dangerous buildings.

With an estimated investment of NT$2.2 billion, the development is themed "Water of Donghu, Urban Green Nest." It will feature green corridors, a community living room, and strategies for urban cooling. The location is close to Donghu Junior High School and the Wufengpi Ecological Wetland, with convenient access to transportation and amenities. The new building will be a 21-story reinforced concrete structure, incorporating silver-rated green building and smart building standards, seismic design, and high energy efficiency.

The city government has expanded the scope of the "575 Project" to include more types of hazardous buildings, accepting applications since April 29. To participate, projects must have over 50% of residents agreeing to redevelopment and have not yet held a self-initiated public hearing. The Neihu project is slated for completion by 2033, promising enhanced structural safety, reduced carbon emissions, and improved urban resilience.

This case has received 100% support from residents, fully demonstrating the community's high consensus and cohesion, and implementing the spirit of public-private partnership and self-help and mutual assistance in public housing redevelopment.
