ABSTRACT

This study investigates the MRT joint development project involving the Jincheng
Depot and Juguang/Kalah Station (M9) on the Wanda Line. It focuses on the
rationale, implementation process, and outcomes of Taipei City Government’s first
attempt to adopt a combined solicitation model that integrates sites across different
administrative districts and of varying scales. Faced with challenges such as the
disparity in site conditions and the difficulty of marketing small plots, the project
strategically bundled a large-scale site with high development potential and a
smaller, irregular-shaped site into a single solicitation case, successfully attracting
qualified developers.
Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on official documents,
meeting records, and anonymized industry interviews to analyze the design of the
solicitation mechanism, investor responses, and market participation. The findings
indicate that the combined tendering model not only improved the success rate of
solicitation but also ensured public interest through contractual safeguards, while
facilitating cross-jurisdictional coordination in urban development.
The study concludes with policy recommendations for future MRT joint
development projects, including the formulation of standard procedures for
combined solicitations, the enhancement of performance guarantees, and the
promotion of early-stage market engagement.
