HOK Sport has begun schematic design on a major sports stadium in the heart of Taipei, as part of a billion dollar mixed use development which will signal the way of the future for sports and entertainment facilities in Asia.
The Dome includes a 40,000 seat covered baseball arena, and more than 100 thousand square metres of integrated themed retail, hotels, offices and apartments on an historic site, the old Song Shan Tobacco Factory site, in the centre of the Taiwan capital. The design includes direct views to the historic Song Shan Factory, an integral part of the development.
This significant win for HOK Sport has come after almost five years of initial feasibility work and negotiations with both the Taipei Government and the successful development contractor, the Far Glory consortium, one of the biggest developers in Taiwan. The Taipei Dome will create a major sport and cultural designation point within Taiwan and is the first project in the country that integrates a new development within an historic precinct.
