Taiwan CTCI REI and CTCI SEC Secure Design-Build Contract for New Taipei Youth Social Housing, Delivering Diamond-Level ESG Smart Green Buildings
CTCI REI and CTCI SEC, subsidiaries of CTCI Group, together with J. A. Chen Architects & Associates, have recently secured the “Shengchang Section Parking Facilities and Youth Social Housing Design-Build Project” in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City. This marks another major achievement in the social housing sector. Integrating smart technologies and green energy solutions, the project has a contract value of NT$3.8337 billion and is scheduled for completion in 2031. It will provide 605 residential units to support disadvantaged households and advance the government’s housing equity goals.
Commissioned by the New Taipei City Department of Urban Development, the project team emphasized ESG principles throughout its proposal. Through outstanding engineering planning and innovative technical solutions, the team earned high recognition from the evaluation committee. To achieve the goal of a “net-zero building,” the project incorporates energy-efficient, low-carbon design strategies from the outset. In addition to targeting certifications including Smart Building Label (Bronze), Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (Level 1), and Low Embodied-Carbon Building Rating System (LEBR) Low-Carbon Building Label (Level 3), the team also enhanced performance to upgrade the Green Building Label from Gold to Diamond level.
The project also integrates several innovative technologies. With proven expertise in geotechnical engineering, CTCI REI provides highly secure deep excavation solutions to ensure foundation stability. CTCI SEC, specializing in smart engineering and ICT applications, adopts the Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards (TAICS) standardized data format to support New Taipei City’s smart city development through Digital Twin applications. Meanwhile, modular prefabricated bathrooms will be installed as demonstration units, and aluminum formwork will be used to shorten construction duration and significantly reduce construction waste, and optimizes the building layout for greater spatial efficiency. Enhanced public amenities—including a reading room, large outdoor communal terrace, community activity center, and public childcare center—deliver additional community value beyond client expectations.
As a self-committed “guardian of sustainable Earth,” CTCI Group continues to promote green engineering that balances environmental responsibility and economic development. By applying state-of-the-art smart and green technologies, the project aspires to set a new benchmark for safe, healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient smart green buildings.
