There will be two office buildings in entire west pier redevelopment. One is for bureau of Keelung Port (pier 4 and pier 5) and the other one is landmark building of Keelung train redevelopment (pier 2 and pier 3). Rest of towers in Keelung train redevelopment project are hotel and waterfront resident building.
Keelung train redevelopment project is similar to Gate of Taipei that government authority is responsible to train station and railway redevelopment and private company is responsible for commercial part (or said most superstructure). Last Keelung government attempt to make tender, but fail to attract any companies. I think government choose wrong time to do it. I believe it will be perfect time when Taiwan Railway authority finish moving the railway and construct their own temporary station.
By the way, pier 4 and pier 5 redevelopment project will be fund by government. The only problem will be government budget.
