Notable examples included landmark developments such as Taipei 101, Taipei Nan Shan Plaza, and the Fubon Life Building in Xinyi District. These projects not only generated revenues through royalty, rent, and property taxes but also stimulated Taipei's economic growth, creating jobs and promoting local prosperity. In 2021, Wistron won the Taipei Digital Content Innovation Center BOT Project, and this year, it has again won the bid on the creation of Superficies cases on Tanmei Section, Neihu District. The Mayor expressed gratitude for Wistron Group's investment and confidence in Taipei. The development of these two sites is expected to integrate AI and hi-tech industries, enhancing the clustering effect of Neihu's Industrial Zone. Upon completion in 2030, this project is projected to create 3,500 jobs, bringing Taipei closer to becoming a "city of the future."
