Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone

Its historical development began in 1986 when the Taichung City Government designated the agricultural area south of Taichung Port Rd. (present-day Taiwan Boulevard) and west of Wenxin Rd. as the 7th Redevelopment Zone. The goal of this redevelopment was originally to set up a secondary commercial center to relieve the old downtown area (Central District).{{cite book |editor=孟祥瀚 |title=《台中市志·沿革志》 |year=2008 |publisher=Taichung City government|isbn=9789860153880|language=zh-tw}} However, as the population continued to grow and the scale of the city expanded, Taichung's city center gradually moved westward.

In February 1990, the 7th Redevelopment Zone was officially carried out, with an area of 353.3983 hectares and a total of 5.54 billion New Taiwan dollars spent, making it the most expensive redevelopment zone at the time. The land redevelopment was completed in November 1992.

In 1996, the Taichung City Government planned to relocate the Taichung City Hall from Central District to this area, and since then the area has been positioned as the new municipal center. Therefore, after the 2000s, the 7th Redevelopment Zone gradually replaced the old downtown area as the central business district of Taichung.{{cite news |url=http://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers/20140829000204-260210 |title=台中曼哈頓 新CBD最保值 | publisher =China Times|date=2014-08-29|access-date=2017-06-20|author=王妙琴|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200830062445/https://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers/20140829000204-260210?chdtv|archivedate=2020-08-30|language=zh-tw}}
