A glimpse of the ultra-exclusive luxury Taozhu Garden residence

2026-02-25

The public recently got a rare glimpse into the interior of Taozhu Garden, a luxury residential complex that’s known for its eye-watering prices. The inside look at the exclusive helix-like high rise in Taipei’s Xinyi District shows there are over 6,000 square meters of trees and shrubbery that are regularly tended to by professional arborists, and there’s also an elevator that is able to transport supercars and ambulances to each floor. The developers aren’t mincing their words when they say the residences are only available to the elite. A spokesperson said they want prospective buyers to have a good social image, as well as to come from the top of the pyramid of industry and commerce. Only one residence has been sold thus far. Despite the low number, the developers are hopeful. Let’s find out more.

There’s a babbling stream as fish swim around freely. The helix-shaped luxury residential high rise Taozhu Garden has opened to the public for the first time.

Taozhu Garden is an ecological garden that took three years to build. Filled with birdsong and blooming flowers, it features a massive 10-meter-high waterfall. The air throughout the garden is clean and fresh, and the forested area spans 6,612 square meters.

The waterfall cascades into the pond, creating a beautiful scene with the koi. The ecological garden houses 23,000 trees and shrubs. Each one has its own unique QR code that acts like a digital health record, making it convenient for arborists to perform regular check-ups.

As an arborist, I come here about two or three times a month. We usually have tree care technicians on site to manage the trees. They will conduct regular checkups based on our health reports we prepare for each species of tree.

This 500-year-old Buddhist pine is pruned once a year. No pesticides are used and it is cared for manually in a harmonious coexistence with nature.

Accompanied by the automatic piano, the air is filled with bursts of hinoki fragrance, relaxing mind and body. The art gallery and the ecological courtyard alone cost NT$500 million to build.

Supercars and ambulances travel along the B1 driveway, then drive directly into this multifunctional car elevator, which can carry up to 4.5 tons. They are then transported to the residents on each floor.

The extra-large driveway is right next to a 25m-long swimming pool. The grand and luxurious rooftop banquet hall allows you to pull down the projector screen, perfect for a sing-along. Step out onto the balcony and Taipei 101 is right in front of you, offering a 270-degree panoramic view befitting a NT$1.8 billion residence.

On average, we have five to six groups of qualified prospective buyers coming in every week. We hope to sell two to three residences this year. We prioritize a good social image and strong sense of corporate social responsibility. Of course they must come from industrial and commercial sectors at the top of the pyramid.

With a starting price of NT$3 million per ping, which is 3.3 square meters, and strict eligibility checks, Taozhu Garden is both generating buzz and pushing the boundaries of the luxury housing market.
