TSMC Fab 22 as a Growth Driver for Le Go Plaza

It takes 10-min driving from TSMC Fab 22 to Le Go Plaza and it indirectly boosts Gangshan’s residential growth. Le Go Plaza will benefit from this expanding community!

The benefits will be such as:

Factor	Opportunities
TSMC engineers & families	✅ Daily shopping, family activities, neighborhood spending
Commuters (living in Gangshan, working in Nanzi)	✅ Convenient after-work dining and shopping routes
Supply chain employees	✅ Growing local demand for daily essentials and leisure

In considering TSMC Fab Workforce Size (Direct employment and Indirect ecosystem - equipment vendors, logistics, cleaners, security, cafeteria, and contractors). The example of Tainan Science Park which ~25 – 30% of the workforce moved closer to the fab.. The total workforce impact may up to ~15,000 – 20,000 people. Based on TSMC's engineers' monthly disposable income, the consumption potential per household would have significant contribution to local catchment area, including Le Go Plaza.
