From 2017 to the end of June, 2024, TSC cooperated with the government’s policy of “social housing” and took inventory of 77 sites and 82.11 hectares of land for the Ministry of Interior to evaluate and plan the construction of social housing. After the evaluation, TSC provided the land on a lease basis, and the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center or the local governments will carry out the construction work. Among them, 17 sites with an area of 16.01 hectares have been approved for leasing, and it is estimated that 9,152 social housing units can be planned for construction. In the future, if there is still demand for social housing, we will re-evaluate suitable locations and provide land for the governments to plan and use. In addition, according to the Ministry of Interior’s “Transforming Existing Hotels and Public and Private Housing into Social Housing” Project, we started to take inventory of our student dormitories, and a total of 1,598 units of TSC’s 6 self-owned student dormitories in northern, central and southern Taiwan (Miaoli, Gongying, Douliu, Guiren, Nanzi, and Yehlin Dormitories) were converted into social housing in August, 2023. By leasing land and converting the existing housing, TSC can provide a total of 10,750 social housing units.

　　TSC used to build TaiSugar Dormitories to work in line with the College Accommodation Environment Project. Nowadays, due to the promotion of sustainable development issues, we aim for economic growth while at the same time taking into account the ecological environment. Therefore, in 2019, TSC started the planning for the construction of Shalun Smart Green Energy Circular Residence, which was officially put into operation in 2022. This is the first example for TSC to introduce the concept of circular economy into a residential project. To promote the sustainable development and reuse of land, TSC also selects appropriate sites to build rental housing in northern, central and southern Taiwan, and the Green Building design is also incorporated in the buildings while smart technology is also applied, creating a better-quality living environment. The rental housing construction projects in recent years include the followings:

　　In the rental housing construction plan, to address the needs of Taiwan's super-aged society by 2025, TSC has been planning of the elderly residence since 2018 and has visited various elderly housing and long-term care institutions as references for development and operation. The first elderly residence has been completed in the East District of Tainan City in early 2024, with operations expected to begin in the second half of 2024. The residential space is designed with 103 units and 7 ground-floor shops, allowing for the introduction of related industries such as retirement facilities, clinics, convenience stores, restaurants, and more. The design includes classrooms, multipurpose activity spaces, a gym, a lounge, and a rooftop garden, providing open spaces for residents. In addition to creating a comfortable residential environment, we aim to establish lifelong learning and promote a sense of well-being, in line with the goals of “ageing together,” “learning together,” and “staying well together.
