The Changhua County Government has launched the tender for the Golden Empire public-private urban renewal project in front of the Yuanlin railway station, a positive development for local commercial growth.

• The county government has formally announced the tender, seeking a developer to redevelop the old town district across from the Yuanlin railway station.
• The site sits in the prime central district, bordered by roads on all four sides and just 300 metres from the railway station—an excellent location.
• The former Golden Empire building has already been demolished by the county government, which will help speed up subsequent development.
• Plans call for the introduction of a flagship shopping mall of more than 2,000 ping, along with public-benefit facilities the local area needs.

Outlook: A tender briefing session is expected to take place in September, with the tender open until the end of October next year, after which a developer will be selected and construction will begin.
