Taichung City’s Seventh Redevelopment Zone has long topped the municipality’s housing markets in value, being situated near the heart of city politics, economy and finance. With the National Taichung Theater and the Cross Greenway nearby and two of the most profitable department stores in the area, Platinum Mansions offers its residents a taste of the high life.
Located on the crossing of Shihjheng North Rd and Huimin Rd., the complex is expected to have 37 floors above ground and seven basement floors. Coupled with the attractions and nearby stores, sealing a deal at the Platinum Mansions ensures that the individual is at the center of Taichung’s comfort and fashion industry.
Based on the development history of the Xinyi District in Taipei, the Seventh Redevelopment Zone in Taichung has the potential for many years of continued development.

Based on the registry index for actual housing sale prices, the final price for pre-sold apartments in the area, such as the New City Vision complex, the Above and Beyond complex, and the Belle Epoque complex, have all sold above NT$800,000 per ping and going on NT$900,000.
The new complexes all feature medium to large-sized apartments, which differs from the soon-to-be-sold Platinum Mansion complex. The complex also targets high-level managers and second-generation corporate families as ideal clients.
Residential high-rises constructed by Highwealth Construction in the redevelopment zone all have clear targets and have thus far been well-received by the market. However, with land available for construction projects on the decline, the Platinum Mansion – at the center of the redevelopment zone – is holding everyone’s attention.
With the Platinum Mansion complex, Highwealth Construction is redefining the concept of “luxury housing,” and to ensure that view is implemented, the company obtained the services of both PIA Interior Co. Ltd. – known for their continued collaboration with the Marriott hotel chain – and the G.a Design Co., who designed the W Hotel, as the complex’s principal designers.
PIA Interior Co President Rujiraporn Pia Wanglee. With more than two decades of design experience, she is an expert at melding multiple cultural elements into a cohesive whole.
Highwealth Construction’s international teams are breaking tradition. They will try to “guide” future residents on how to enjoy their life, allowing residents to choose their interior design or leave it entirely to the Highwealth and its hired designers.
The company said that we want to provide the best possible living experiences for our clients and set a new milestone on building planning and design.
We aim to make the community feel like a five-star hotel and the home of the presidential suite, Highwealth said. (Advertorial)
SPEED OF LIGHT: US lawmakers urged the commerce department to examine the national security threats from China’s development of silicon photonics technology US President Joe Biden’s administration on Monday said it is finalizing rules that would limit US investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and other technology sectors in China that could threaten US national security. The rules, which were proposed in June by the US Department of the Treasury, were directed by an executive order signed by Biden in August last year covering three key sectors: semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies and certain AI systems. The rules are to take effect on Jan. 2 next year and would be overseen by the Treasury’s newly created Office of Global Transactions. The Treasury said the “narrow
SPECULATION: The central bank cut the loan-to-value ratio for mortgages on second homes by 10 percent and denied grace periods to prevent a real-estate bubble The central bank’s board members in September agreed to tighten lending terms to induce a soft landing in the housing market, although some raised doubts that they would achieve the intended effect, the meeting’s minutes released yesterday showed. The central bank on Sept. 18 introduced harsher loan restrictions for mortgages across Taiwan in the hope of curbing housing speculation and hoarding that could create a bubble and threaten the financial system’s stability. Toward the aim, it cut the loan-to-value ratio by 10 percent for second and subsequent home mortgages and denied grace periods for first mortgages if applicants already owned other residential
EXPORT CONTROLS: US lawmakers have grown more concerned that the US Department of Commerce might not be aggressively enforcing its chip restrictions The US on Friday said it imposed a US$500,000 penalty on New York-based GlobalFoundries Inc, the world’s third-largest contract chipmaker, for shipping chips without authorization to an affiliate of blacklisted Chinese chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC, 中芯). The US Department of Commerce in a statement said GlobalFoundries sent 74 shipments worth US$17.1 million to SJ Semiconductor Corp (盛合晶微半導體), an affiliate of SMIC, without seeking a license. Both SMIC and SJ Semiconductor were added to the department’s trade restriction Entity List in 2020 over SMIC’s alleged ties to the Chinese military-industrial complex. SMIC has denied wrongdoing. Exports to firms on the list
ASE Technology Holding Co (ASE, 日月光投控), the world’s biggest chip assembly and testing manufacturing (ATM) service provider, expects to double its leading-edge advanced technology services revenue next year to more than US$1 billion, benefiting from strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips, a company executive said on Thursday. That would be the second year that ASE has doubled its advanced chip packaging and testing technology revenue, following an estimate of more than US$500 million for this year. ASE is one of the major beneficiaries from the AI boom as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is outsourcing production of advanced chip
