A NEW BREED OF GREEN HOUSING
These days it's not enough for new buildings to be just eco-friendly. They have to be quake-resistant as well.
In New Taipei City's Xinchuang district, a community of new apartments not only features energy-efficient designs, but also boasts of enhanced anti-quake capabilities, in order to distinguish itself in the crowded housing market.
For the green surrounding and its design to take advantage of solar energy, the Beitou library is the most famous green building in Taiwan.
Taichung is also going to see the latest building of the same sort called 'Taiwan Tower'.
In Xinchuang of New Taipei City, a land developer fulfilled the idea in its latest project, stressing an energy-saving community.
Another factor that concerns people's willingness to buy a house is the earthquake-proof design.
The secret weapon of the new building is a shock absorber of aircraft class.
Each floor has four such absorbers, which can enhance the strengths of steel bar structures and raises the earthquake-proof level from 5 to 6.
Before the luxury tax is introduced, property developers are trying to use more buzz-worthy topics to get attention from potential buyers.
