	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Held the “National Non-Public Use Land Environmental Sustainability and Net-Zero Carbon Awards Ceremony” Today (Jan. 23), Expressing Gratitude for Collaborative Support from All Sectors]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        To implement national land conservation and environmental sustainability, and in support of the government’s 2050 net-zero emissions policy, the NPA has actively promoted a mechanism of adoption of national non-public use marginal land for environmental protection, as well as a mechanism for introducing the carbon sink (credit) industry on national land. The Administration has signed a total of 14 adoption agreements for national non-public use marginal land with nine environmental organizations, covering approximately 2,000 hectares, and in 2025 successfully facilitated the participation of 12 financial institutions in the adoption of marginal land. Additionally, two sites of national land in Yilan County and Taitung County, totaling 93.5 hectares, have been allocated for the introduction of the carbon sink industry, achieving remarkable results in implementation.         The NPA stated that, to enhance the management efficiency of national land and in response to the rising awareness of environmental protection and ecological conservation among the public, the Administration, inspired by public-private partnership, has actively promoted the mechanism of adoption of national non-public use marginal land for environmental protection since 2019. With the Administration providing national non-public use marginal land, the initiative leverages the conservation expertise of environmental organizations and facilitates financial institutions to sponsor and stabilize the finances of environmental groups, thus achieving ESG principles, enabling public-private partnership to jointly safeguard national land ecology, creating a win-win-win outcome, and expanding the benefits of national land environmental conservation.         The NPA further stated that it facilitated National Chung Hsing University, in accordance with Article 47 of the National Property Act, to implement joint improvement utilization through public tender and introduce the carbon sink industry. This initiative encourages participants to apply to the competent authority for greenhouse gas reduction quotas by planting new forests on national land. On June 18, 2024, two tender projects were completed, increasing forest coverage and adding an estimated natural carbon sink of approximately 74,000 tons. Enterprises will retain 10% of the reduction quota for the Administration’s use by central government agencies or state-owned enterprises, initiating sustainable forest management and advancing toward net-zero carbon reduction goals.         To express gratitude to the participants and supporting organizations of the two aforementioned mechanisms, the NPA held the “National Non-Public Use Land Environmental Sustainability and Net-Zero Carbon Awards Ceremony” today (Jan. 23, 2026), presenting certificates of recognition and appreciation to thank all sectors for their collaborative efforts in promoting the sustainable management of national land. Moving forward, the Administration will continue to expand its partnerships with environmental organizations, financial institutions, schools, and relevant agencies, enhancing the overall effectiveness of national land conservation, with the expectation that public-private partnership will achieve the vision of environmental sustainability and net-zero carbon reduction.

	<title><![CDATA[Cases of Entrusted Management of Unclaimed Estates Are Still Numerous; Those with Inheritance Rights Should Accelerate Submitting Claims to Protect Their Own Interests]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        The NPA or its branch offices, acting as the manager of estate properties, have, over the past five years (2021–2025), cleared entrusted managing property, with the total value of the remaining property reverted to the state reaching NT$3,171.91 million.         The NPA stated that, pursuant to Paragraph 3, Article 136 of the Family Act, the court may appoint a manager of the property, and in addition to natural persons, public agencies may also be appointed. In practice, in order to safeguard public interest and the expected benefit to the national treasury, the court designates the Administration or its branch offices as managers of the property. Since property management involves numerous complex tasks, and often faces issues such as “the deceased’s debts exceed the estate, involving litigation disputes,” “the deceased’s creditor-debtor legal relationships are complex and difficult to settle,” and “insufficient personnel for the caseload,” the processing time is prolonged, and lawyers must be separately appointed to handle legal or litigation matters.         The NPA further stated that such cases of entrusted management of unclaimed estates mainly occur because heirs renounce their inheritance or the deceased has no children or relatives to inherit. The underlying reasons are changes in social and economic patterns, as well as Taiwan’s transition into an aging and low-fertility society. Over the years, the Administration and its branch offices have acted as managers of the property in a total of 9,130 cases. As of December 2025, there are still 1,707 properties entrusted. To expedite the settlement of unclosed entrusted managing property cases, the Administration formulated a four-year clearance plan in 2018. After its expiration at the end of August 2022, the Administration has continued to establish annual clearance plans. In the past five years, 970 cases have been closed, averaging 194 cases per year, with the total value of remaining properties reverted to the nation reaching NT$3,171.91 million, comprising 704 land parcels and 54 buildings.         Finally, the NPA urged that, pursuant to Article 1185 of the Civil Code, when the period prescribed in Article 1178 expires and no heir has accepted the inheritance, the property, after settling debts and delivering legacies, shall revert to the national treasury. Therefore, in cases of entrusted managing properties without anyone accepting inheritance under the Administration’s management, heirs of the deceased who intend to accept the inheritance must submit their claim to the Administration before the expiration of the court-announced deadline; otherwise, the deceased’s remaining property will be reverted to the state in accordance with the law.

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Actively Takes Over Idle National Public Use Real Estate to Promote the Revitalization and Utilization of National Assets]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        When various agencies review their national public use real estate under management and determine that its intended use for the public is to be abolished, the National Property Administration (NPA) proactively reclaims such properties, or coordinates with the agencies to reclassify them as national non-public use property. After taking over the properties, the NPA gives priority to supporting central government social welfare policies by providing land for social housing, and revitalizes and utilizes the properties in accordance with their location characteristics and land-use controls to enhance the efficiency of national asset utilization.         Over the past three years, the NPA has taken over an annual average of 1,903 hectares of national real estate that is no longer needed for public use from various government agencies. The NPA has coordinated with the National Housing and Urban Regeneration Center (NHURC) to provide land for the development of social housing. For example, 15 parcels of national land and 4 national buildings in Xindian District, New Taipei City, previously managed by the National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine, had been left idle for years without development planning, and were investigated by the Control Yuan. The site area is approximately 5,789 square meters, primarily designated as agency land, with part of it located in a commercial zone. After the NPA took over the properties in 2025, the land was immediately provided to the National Land Management Agency, Ministry of the Interior (NLMA) for evaluation as a potential social housing site.         The NPA stated that in order to assist central government agencies in constructing social housing, and considering the management costs and revitalization benefits of large-scale idle national public use real estate after takeover, the NPA has recently provided seven properties – reviewed by the managing agencies as no longer needed for public use and submitted for reclassification as non-public use property – to the NLMA for early evaluation of their suitability as social housing sites. This ensures that once the NPA takes over the properties, they may be immediately used to support social housing policy. For example, national residential real estate in Beitou District, Taipei City, managed by the Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications – formerly the Overseas Chinese Resort – has a land area of 6,716 square meters and a building area of approximately 14,682 square meters, located in the Beitou Hot Springs district. Although the Tourism Administration had originally planned to use the site as an office and exhibition venue for tourism services, it was later determined as no longer needed for public use. Another case involves land in Shilin District, Taipei City, managed by the Taipei City Police Department, with an area of 3,868 square meters. In response to citizen complaints to demolish above-ground structures early and revitalize the site to meet local commercial district needs – such as constructing a parking facility. In addition to requesting the NLMA to assess the feasibility of developing social housing for each case, the NPA also asked the Taipei City Police Department to transfer the second parcel of national land that is no longer needed for public use to the NPA for takeover. The NLMA subsequently confirmed that the site is suitable for use as a social housing base.         By taking over idle national real estate that is no longer needed by various agencies, and providing it for social housing and other central government policy initiatives, the NPA enhances both national asset efficiency and citizens’ quality of life, helping realize the twin goals of livability and sustainable development. These actions not only respond to social expectations and needs, but also improve the effectiveness of national property utilization.

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Launched Public Tender for the Establishment of Superficies on National Land Designated for the Long-term Care Industry, Marking the Creation of an Innovative Model for Long-term Care Infrastructure Development]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        In line with the central government’s long-term care (hereinafter, LTC) policy, the National Property Administration (NPA) has added long-term care as a designated industry eligible for tendering the establishment of superficies on national land. In January 2025, the NPA amended and relaxed bidding eligibility requirements to allow company juridical persons, incorporated foundations, and associations to participate, provided that their teams include a juridical person qualified to operate LTC institutions. On June 30, 2025, the NPA announced six parcels of national land for tender under the designated industry (LTC) category. The qualification bid opening was held on October 1, 2025. For the national land located in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, one bidder submitted a proposal. After completing the two-stage qualification review and evaluation process, the tender was successfully awarded on the 27th of the same month to The Bridge Care Ltd.. The contract carries a royalty fee of over NT$66.6 million. The annual land rent is set at 3%, of which 1% is adjusted in line with the declared land value, and 2% is calculated based on the declared land value for the contract year.         The NPA stated that The Bridge Care Ltd., in collaboration with the Ai-Lin Long-term Care Association, proposed a development plan centered on the philosophy of “health promotion, continuity of care, integrated medical and long-term care services, and localized service delivery.” The proposal integrates preventive healthcare, health promotion, LTC services, and community resources to create an age-friendly living environment. The development includes the establishment of two types of LTC institutions – a day care center and group homes – providing the first group-home-type LTC service in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City. The complex also includes a pickleball court, badminton courts, and tennis courts to provide safe sports facilities for middle-aged and older adults. The aim is to establish a comprehensive care model that spans prevention, rehabilitation, and functional restoration, allowing individuals to access all services within a single integrated complex. The awardee must sign the contract within 90 days after paying the full royalty fee and, according to the contract timeline, apply for LTC facility preparation and establishment permits in compliance with the LTC regulations. The documents approved by the competent authority shall govern.         The NPA further stated that establishing superficies for designated (LTC) industries represents a new development model that revitalizes national land while aligning with the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s LTC facility needs. This mechanism provides diversified pathways for LTC infrastructure development, and supports national policy objectives. The winning proposal integrates clinics, day care centers, group homes, and sports venues for middle-aged and elderly individuals, delivering comprehensive and holistic health and care services – forming a new model for LTC facility development. Moving forward, the NPA will continue identifying high-quality parcels for tender and advancing the establishment of superficies for designated (LTC) industries, and encourages all sectors to closely follow future announcements.   Press Release Contact: Chiang Tsai-Jen, Section Chief Contact number: +886-2-27718121 ext. 1321]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA announces that Leasing of National Houses and Lands for Subleasing in the Fourth Quarter of 2025 is now open for tender. Rental Housing Subleasing Businesses (RHSB) are welcome to actively bid; please ensure all bidding documents are complete]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        To revitalize idle national real estate, and expand the supply of rental housing market, the National Property Administration (NPA) is actively promoting lease by tender for national non-public real estate, and facilitating leasing arrangements that comply with the “Rental Housing Market Development and Regulation Act.” This initiative includes working with rental housing leasing management companies (hereinafter referred to as “leasing companies”) to sublease the properties to lessees for residential use (hereinafter referred to as “national real estate leasing business”). As of September 2025, 346 units had been announced for tender, with 206 units successfully leased, representing a bid-up ratio of nearly 60%, demonstrating strong performance. On October 9, 2025, the NPA announced 30 units, across six tenders, for the fourth quarter of 2025 – with 11 units located in Taipei City, 3 in Hsinchu City, 3 in Hsinchu County, 3 in Taichung City, 5 in Tainan City, and 5 in Chiayi City – with the bid opening scheduled for November 27 of the same year.         The NPA stated that the Q4 tenders feature properties located in prime areas: the 11 units in Taipei City’s Shilin District are near MRT Shilin Station, Shilin Sports Center, and the National Palace Museum, offering excellent accessibility and convenience. The three units in Taichung City are located near the Taichung MRT Green Line and local markets, with well-developed public facilities and good housing conditions. The five units in Tainan City are near Tainan Railway Station and Tainan University of Technology, surrounded by local shops and convenient living amenities. The five units in Chiayi City are all close to Chiayi Railway Station, offering convenient access to transportation. For the first time, the NPA also released properties in Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County: the three units in Hsinchu City are in the city center near the City God Temple Night Market, while the three in Hsinchu County are close to the Hukou Interchange and the Jianshi Township Office.         The NPA further stated that detailed tender information has been published on the websites of its Northern, Central, and Southern Regional Branches. Rental housing service providers are encouraged to submit bids within the deadline, and are kindly reminded to review the bidding instructions carefully and ensure all required documents are complete – particularly the certificate of membership (copy) issued by the local housing and land association where the property is located, and the representative’s identification document (copy) – to avoid invalid bids.

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA’s Implementation Results of the “Salute to the Sea – Coastal Cleanliness and Maintenance Program” Rated as “Outstanding” from the Executive Yuan for 2024]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        In line with the Executive Yuan-approved “Salute to the Sea – Coastal Cleanliness and Maintenance Program” (hereinafter, “the Program”) implemented by the Ministry of Environment, the National Property Administration (NPA) is responsible for cleaning national non-public land and unregistered land outside the management zones designated by the competent authorities of various purposes (national parks, designated scenic areas, industrial zones, ports, seawalls, etc.). The coastline under the NPA’s responsibility extends approximately 699.5 kilometers. The NPA’s implementation performance for 2024 was rated as an “Outstanding” agency by the Executive Yuan (and the NPA has been rated Outstanding every year since the Program was launched in 2020 through 2023).         The NPA stated that it implements the Program through five major strategies: “fixed-point patrol and cleaning,” “key mobile cleaning,” “coordinated cleaning with relevant agencies,” “active matching of adoption willingness,” and “enhanced source-management education.” In 2024, coastal patrol and cleaning covered a cumulative distance of 41,542 kilometers, with a total of 5,686 metric tons of waste cleaned, 70,715 participants mobilized, and 17,193 cleaning operations conducted. The NPA also proactively promoted correct waste removal, recycling, and reuse to 4,950 lessees of coastal aquaculture national non-public land, reducing waste at the source to prevent it from entering rivers and oceans.         The NPA further stated that its regional branches and offices have worked together with various agencies and public-private partners to maintain coastal cleanliness. In 2025, the NPA continued to take part in a total of seven coastal cleanup events organized by government agencies and civil groups in Yilan County, Miaoli County, Chiayi County, Tainan City, and Penghu County. Driven by the Program and the collective efforts of the public in coastal cleanups, the total weight and total volume of coastal waste on both Taiwan’s main island and offshore islands have gradually declined year after year. The NPA will continue implementing the Program to maintain and preserve the beauty of the coastline, joining the public in paying tribute to the sea, and leaving behind a beautiful chapter for the blue ocean.

	<title><![CDATA[The management of national land aligns with green energy policies and ensures the protection of lessee rights. There is no deliberate obstruction of solar energy developers’ applications.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        In response to media reports yesterday on August 20 alleging that a new directive from the National Property Administration (NPA) blocks green energy projects, the NPA clarified that, based on the conclusions of related Executive Yuan meetings in 2023, and instructions from the Ministry of Agriculture in 2024, the promotion of green energy policy must also safeguard lessees’ rights. Accordingly, on November 1, 2024, the NPA established procedures for seeking the opinions of both lessees and the Energy Administration (EA), Ministry of Economic Affairs, regarding applications to develop solar PV projects. When applications involve leased national land, NPA regional branches notify lessees by registered mail, with acknowledgement of receipt, to ask whether they support the solar PV project. Relevant information is then submitted to the EA for evaluation of whether the land is suitable for PV installation. If the EA deems the land suitable, and the lessee supports the installation on national land, the application proceeds in accordance with regulations.         To simplify administrative processes, on June 26, 2025, the NPA eased the above procedures. For cases where applicants have already obtained a “Letter of Consent from lessees of Leased National Agricultural or Aquaculture Land Permitting the Installation of Ground-mounted Green Energy Facilities,” the NPA agreed that such leased land does not require further lessee opinion surveys. Furthermore, if a lessee initially opposed or failed to respond within the deadline, but later changes to support PV installation, the lessee may directly contact the applicant, who may then apply to the NPA’s regional branch offices for issuance of a “Letter of Intent for National Non-public Use Land to Apply for Development” (hereinafter the Letter of Intent). For pending applications, once the applicant submits supporting documentation from the lessee, the NPA branch offices may continue processing based on the progress of the original application.         The NPA further explained that the so-called “Letter of Intent” (formerly known as the Letter of Consent) is a document required under the Directions for Provision of National Non-public Use Land to Apply for Development, which applicants must obtain from the NPA when applying to establish ground-mounted solar PV facilities on national land. This document serves only as supporting evidence for the applicant to submit to the responsible industry authority for project application, preparation, or installation; it does not constitute substantive consent for land use. To avoid misunderstanding of the Letter of Intent’s nature, the Ministry of Finance in 2023 changed the document’s name from “Letter of Consent for National Non-public Use Land to Apply for Development” to “Letter of Intent.” In addition, to prevent applicants from occupying national land after obtaining a Letter of Intent, applicants must first pay a security deposit (calculated based on the current assessed value of the land). The deposit will be refunded without interest after the expiration or cancellation of the Letter of Intent, provided the NPA confirms that the applicant has not occupied the land during the validity period.

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Establishes Lease-by-Tender Afforestation Mechanism to Accelerate Revitalization of National Land and Support Net-Zero Transition]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        In response to the government’s 2050 net-zero transition policy, and to revitalize idle national non-public use land, the National Property Administration (NPA) is actively promoting lease-by-tender afforestation. The mechanism has been established to lease national land by tender for afforestation and related operations to domestic corporations with forestry expertise, with the goal of expanding forest coverage and enhancing carbon sequestration. On March 13, 2025, the Ministry of Finance amended and promulgated the Regulations for Leasing of National Non-public Use Real Estate. Subsequently, on July 31, 2025, the NPA promulgated the Operation Directions for the Lease by Tender of National Non-public Use Land for Afforestation Purposes, which stipulates relevant rules on the minimum contract deposit, annual rent, bidding qualifications, and lease terms.         The NPA stated that it plans to consolidate idle national agricultural land of a certain scale within the same municipality or county/city (each parcel over 0.5 hectares, with no restriction on the number of parcels per tender, totaling over 20 hectares) that is not currently forested, for public tender announcement. The first batch is scheduled to be announced by NPA regional branches (including offices) at the end of 2025. Eligible bidders include domestic companies legally incorporated in the Republic of China (Taiwan) whose business registration covers “Afforestation,” and who are not registered as suspended. Bidding will be based on contract deposit, with a minimum price of NT$30,000 per hectare. The lease term will be 10 years, and tenants may apply for renewal up to three times, for a maximum term of 40 years. Annual rent will be charged at 1% of the total declared land value.         The NPA further emphasized that the lease-by-tender afforestation mechanism not only promotes the effective utilization of national land, but also aligns with Taiwan’s sustainable development goals. It enhances and strengthens the country’s resilience and ability to adapt to climate change, reduces risks associated with extreme weather events, and contributes to national land conservation. Going forward, the NPA will continue to advance the utilization and revitalization of national land, under the concept of green sustainability.

	<title><![CDATA[Relevant Measures Assisting the Rental Reduction and Homeland Reconstruction for Lessees of National Land in the Disaster-Affected Areas in response to Typhoon Danas]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[        In response to the damage caused by Typhoon Danas in some areas in Taiwan, the NPA has complied with the regulations governing matters directly related to the lessees of national lands, including rent reduction and exemption and homeland reconstruction, by reminding them to proceed with such matters at their earliest convenience.         The NPA stated that, addressing the agricultural loss and aboveground houses severely damaged during the disaster and that can no longer be used, subordinate branches and offices of the NPA are instructed to take the following measures proactively in order to assist lessees affected by Typhoon Danas in speedy homeland reconstruction if the service area of such branches and offices is subordinated to the announced disaster-affected municipalities and counties (cities): (1) Submit lease information to the Township/City/District Office to be provided with a list of disaster victims (in which the agreed percentage of rent reduction or redemption is stated), contact and request the disaster prevention and protection authority to investigate the degree of damage to the aboveground houses due to the disaster, in order to proceed with the rent reduction and redemption matters for national farmlands, cultural land, agricultural land, animal husbandry land, aquaculture land, and building lots. (2) If recovery for the disaster-affected aboveground houses on national building lots appears necessary, the leasing authority shall issue a Consent Letter for the Land Use Rights immediately to assist in the recovery of such houses. (3) Notifications of overdue rent and the collection of compensation for illegal occupancy may be postponed, including the temporarily suspension of the collection of rent arrears from lessees in disaster areas and the recovery of compensation for the use of the land by occupants. If any doubts arise regarding the rent reduction and exemption and homeland reconstruction, lessees of national lands may inquire at the NPA's nearest region branch or office or call the NPA's toll-free service line at 0800-357-666, to clarify matters in doubt.         The NPA further advised that in order to prevent the spread of the local dengue fever epidemic, lessees of national lands should pay more attention to the cleaning of potential vector mosquito breeding sources after typhoons. The NPA has also instructed its subordinate branches and offices to strengthen the patrol inspection for national non-public use vacant land and houses and implement the cleaning of potential vector mosquito breeding sources so as to prevent the breeding of dengue vector mosquitoes, and reduce the risk of dengue fever outbreaks.   Press Release Contact: Wu Wan-Zhen, Section Chief Contact number: +886-2-27718121 ext. 1221]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Entrusts National Land to Local Governments for the Development of Inclusive Playgrounds – Central and Local Governments Collaborate to Build a Joyful Childhood.]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[　　In accordance with the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the construction of inclusive playground facilities aims to protect the rights of all children—including children with disabilities—to equally enjoy playgrounds. To support this, the National Property Administration (NPA) has relaxed regulations to allow national non-public use land through entrusted management to local governments for the development of inclusive playgrounds, contributing to safeguarding children’s rights and creating joyful play spaces that foster learning and development. 　　The NPA explained that when local governments require national non-public use land to plan and build inclusive playgrounds, they should first apply for allocation in accordance with Article 38 of the National Property Act. If, after assessment, allocation is deemed unfeasible or difficult, the NPA has relaxed the rules to allow for the entrusted management of national non-public use land designated as “parks,” “green spaces,” or “children’s playgrounds” under urban planning land reservation for public facilities. Before any plans for disposal or use are determined, such land may be entrusted to local governments for the management and construction of inclusive playgrounds under Article 13 of the National Property Act, without requiring the payment of management fees. These facilities will be available for public recreational and sports use by the general public. This entrusted management mechanism not only aligns with urban planning land use zoning requirements, but also alleviates the financial burden on local governments that are unable to apply for allocation due to budget constraints. Through this collaboration, local governments can design and build inclusive playgrounds that stimulate children’s sensory and physical development, create spaces that support the equal participation of all children—including those with disabilities—and maximize the utility of national land. 　　The NPA further stated that entrusting national non-public use land to local governments for the development of inclusive playgrounds enhances the management and utilization of such land. By working together, central and local governments can create vibrant play environments and effectively safeguard children’s rights, achieving a win-win outcome. Local governments interested in applying for entrusted management to national non-public use land, or seeking further consultation, may contact the respective regional branch offices or service centers of the NPA.

	<title><![CDATA[Diversified Revitalization of National Public Use Property to Create Added Value]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[　　To support national policies such as public construction and social welfare, national property is prioritized for use by government agencies at all levels for official and public purposes. The National Property Administration (NPA), Ministry of Finance, stated that agencies, which manage national public use properties and are already using them according to their designated public purposes or operational objectives, may revitalize said properties and generate revenue in accordance with relevant regulations. The NPA encourages agencies to enhance the use of national public use properties without compromising their intended public purposes, thereby creating added value. In 2024, revenue from national public use property reached over NT$45.6 billion, which was allocated to the national treasury to support various national development initiatives and enhance public well-being. 　　There is a wide range of revitalization methods adopted by agencies for national public use properties, including promoting arts and culture, environmental sustainability, and operating food and lodging services. The following are specific examples: The Hakka Affairs Council manages the Liudui Hakka Cultural Park Performance Hall, which, in addition to internal use, is also rented out by time slots to agencies, companies, organizations, schools, or individuals for academic, cultural, public welfare, or educational events, thereby enhancing its utilization. The Veterans Affairs Council’s Changhua Farm manages national land in Hanbao Village, Fangyuan Township, Changhua County, primarily for seawater aquaculture. The farm consigned operations through public bidding, providing ponds and technical information to winning bidders for clam and mussel farming. This approach reduces management costs, increases revitalization revenue, creates local job opportunities, promotes eco-friendly aquaculture, preserves wetland habitats for waterbirds, and contributes to biodiversity and sustainable environmental development. The Maritime and Port Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications oversees the Gaomei Lighthouse. After the lamp was relocated in 1982, its original navigation function diminished. To promote lighthouse tourism, a historic building restoration and reuse project was implemented, upgrading basic infrastructure in the area and transforming the lighthouse into an accommodation site. In addition to lodging, the site offers local cuisine light meals, cultural and creative exhibitions, and allows visitors to climb to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the Gaomei Wetlands. 　　By adopting diverse revitalization models within the scope of public use, national public use property contributes to local development, environmental sustainability, and the reuse of national assets. The NPA will continue to promote national property revitalization policies through educational training and on-site inspections, thereby improving the efficiency of national asset utilization and creating a sustainable source of revenue.

	<title><![CDATA[NPA Procurement Integrity Platform Cross-Sector Communication Meeting: Public-Private Partnership Advances Collaboration for New Government Office Development Project]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[　　To develop government office buildings through public-private partnerships, the National Property Administration (NPA) initiated a joint development project involving national land located at Lot No. 225, Subsection 5, Ren’ai Section, Da’an District, Taipei City. Under this initiative, a private partner was introduced to construct two government office buildings on behalf of the NPA at the original site. Additionally, two other land parcels — one in the Nangang Section and the other in the Zhongshan Section — were provided through the establishment of superficies rights, allowing the private partner to construct and operate its own buildings. This marks the first off-site development model in Taiwan where national land was used for office buildings through a public-private partnership. 　　Due to price fluctuations, rising investment costs, and other macroeconomic factors, the project underwent multiple failed tenders. After three rounds of project review and approval of the revised plan by the Executive Yuan, the tender was finally awarded. As the construction phase officially begins, the NPA, in alignment with the principles of the Procurement Integrity Platform — “cross-sector collaboration,” “public-private partnership,” “administrative transparency,” and “all-out supervision” — held a Procurement Integrity Platform Communication Meeting on May 16, 2025. The meeting was chaired by NPA Deputy Director-General LI, CHENG-TSUNG and attended by Chief Prosecutor CHIANG, CHEN-YU of the Taipei District Prosecutors Office; Chairman YEH, YI-CHANG of Transparency International Taiwan; Architect HUANG, HSIU-CHUANG; Section Chief LI, CHENG-LI of the Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan; Deputy Director HUNG, CHUN-YUEH of Anti-Corruption Division, Agency Against Corruption, Ministry of Justice; and Deputy Director LIN, HSIN-CHIEH of the Ministry of Finance’s Department of Civil Service Ethics. 　　At the meeting, the private partner gave a presentation on the construction plans and responded to key topics raised by the NPA, including surveys of nearby structures, prevention of construction-related disputes, sand and gravel disposal, handling of undue external interference or lobbying, and traffic maintenance. Participants from both public and private sectors, as well as invited experts, provided in-depth suggestions and feedback. The meeting fully demonstrated the function of the Procurement Integrity Platform in facilitating intersectoral dialogue. It is hoped that this collaborative effort will help build a transparent and accountable administrative environment, ensuring that the project progresses in full compliance with the law and in a thorough and efficient manner.

	<title><![CDATA[The NPA Leased the Yangmingshan American Military Housing by Tender to Enhance the Effective Utilization of National Cultural Assets]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[　　In recent years, the number of national non-public use real estate under the administration of the National Property Administration (NPA) that have been designated and registered as cultural assets (hereinafter referred to as “cultural assets”) has continued to increase. As of the end of 2024, the NPA managed a total of 349 cultural asset sites, which urgently require diverse revitalization and utilization approaches. Of these, 154 sites have already been made available for revitalized utilization, including 80 sites through adoption, 15 through entrusted management, 54 through leasing, 3 through lease by tender for cultural assets, and 2 through entrusted improvement and utilization. Through public-private partnership, these cultural assets have been preserved, maintained, and revitalized. The Yangmingshan American Military Housing (comprising 19 units), which has been taken over by the NPA, was fully awarded through lease by tender for cultural assets (1 unit in 2022, 7 units in 2023, and 11 units in 2025), generating an annual rental revenue of over NT$5.87 million. 　　The NPA stated that the 19 awarded units of the Yangmingshan American Military Housing include 8 designated as cultural landscapes and 11 as historic buildings. All of these are located within Taiwan’s largest American military housing from the 1950s to the 1960s and exhibit the architectural characteristics of Western-style residential neighborhoods of that era. In accordance with the regulations of Operation Directions for Leasing of National Non-public Use Cultural Asset Through Open Tender, the NPA carried out a selection process based on open evaluation of the proposals submitted by qualified tenderers. Successful tenderers are required to maintain and utilize the properties in accordance with restoration or reuse plans approved by the competent authorities. According to the tenderers’ plans, the unit awarded in 2022 will be used as a space for artistic creation and cultural exhibitions and performances; the 7 units awarded in 2023 are planned for use as restaurants, gallery spaces, a spa, and lodging facilities; the 11 units awarded in 2025, which are located close together and form a coherent area, are preliminarily envisioned to be used for art exhibitions, a children’s art education center, artist residency spaces, a bookstore, a café, and other multifunctional shared spaces to build an art village, with final designs subject to review and approval by the relevant authorities. 　　The NPA further explained that leasing national non-public use cultural assets by tender allows for the use of private resources in integrating local cultural identity and spatial context to promote historical legacy. Through the creativity of the private sector, idle buildings with historical significance are revitalized and shared with the public, thus highlighting the value of cultural assets while reducing the government’s management burden. The NPA will continue to implement revitalization projects following this model, aiming to make national cultural assets more accessible and integrated into citizens’ daily lives, while striking a balance between sustainable management of national assets and enhanced utilization efficiency.
