To aggressively promote social residence policies, the Taipei City Government carried out Jingfeng Social Residence Construction near the MRT Wanlong Station. Led by Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je, representatives of the Urban Development Department, Public Works Department, Hydraulic Engineering Office and its designing, supervising and construction teams attended the opening and praying ceremony of this construction in the morning of October 5, 2020. All attendees prayed that the construction would be completed successfully on time and in good quality.

The Urban Development Department mentioned that Taipei City now has 3,705 households (21 locations) of completed social residences and 9,826 households (29 locations) are under construction. It is estimated that by the end of 2020, there will be 10,340 households (31 locations) of social residences under construction and 4,712 households (25 locations) would be completed by then. In the future, "the Construction of Jingfeng First District Social Residence at Wenshan District, Taipei City" would provide another 90 households residences. The Hydraulic Engineering Office added that the foundation area of the Jingfeng First District Social Residence is 2,439 m2 and the construction budget is NT$490 million. It will be a reinforced concrete building with 14 stories above the ground and 2 stories underground. It is scheduled to be completed on June 2023.

The Taipei City Government further planned that social welfare institutions of the city would enter the first and second floor of the residence, including a community library and public nursery. Through the local social welfare facilities, it expects to provide better activity and interactive spaces. Shops would also enter the area to create a new form of residence. This project will receive the Silver Smart Building Label, Silver Green Building Label and Earthquake Resistant Label to create an urban ecological environment, improve social residence quality and create the image of an accessible and sustainable building.

The windows of the different households in this project all face the mountain from different stories. Its changing scenes further implements urban residential aesthetics. Also, with the design of the residence corridors, it increases the chances of residents meeting one another. Designed in accordance with this L-shaped building, more outdoor green spaces for activities were added to preclude cold neighborhood relationships. As a Wenshan District public residence near Jingmei Sport Park, it expects to connect the open spaces and green belts of the city through the public social welfare and commercial spaces, help residents to gradually complete community rebirth and thus achieve the goals of maintaining social stability and economic development.
Moreover, the Hydraulic Engineering Office will enhance the monitoring and supervision of construction quality during the construction to provide outstanding environment and living service for public residence residents.
