## FAQ

A combination of (a) structural semiconductor demand growth, (b) limited new construction pipeline, (c) corporate HQ centralization, and (d) strict zoning in central Taipei.

### What is the typical commute?
Most Class A tenants concentrate in Xinyi, Songshan, or Neihu; Metro and Taoyuan MRT structurally underwrite walkable commute economics.

### How significant is Hsinchu (Science Park)?
Hsinchu Science Park hosts TSMC HQ and the deepest semiconductor manufacturing campus in Asia. Most TSMC R&D and corporate functions centralize in Hsinchu rather than Taipei.
