Facilities
The total floor area of the building is about {{cvt|40,000|m2}} (including parking space). It is in close proximity to Taoyuan railway station. Since there are still two other department stores in the area, the Far Eastern Department Store Taoyuan Store and the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taoyuan Station Store in front of the other two department stores, the competition in the same industry is fierce. Thus, in February 2017, NT$1 billion was spent in order to renovate the building to become the only green building mall in Taoyuan City with the exterior design following the Japanese Omotesandō-style.{{cite web|url=https://www.cna.com.tw/news/firstnews/201612090095.aspx|title=(Chinese)桃園統領百貨傳裁員 影響上百員工|website=cna.com.tw|accessdate=12 April 2021}} In October 2018, Tonlin Department Store Taoyuan reopened under the name Tonlin Plaza,{{cite web|url=https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20181003fin014/|title=(Chinese)桃園統領廣場改裝再出發 鄭文燦站台相挺|website=mirrormedia.mg|accessdate=12 April 2021}} increasing the proportion of the catering industry to 40%, and introducing large-scale specialty stores such as a cinema (In89 Cinemax) and bookstores, and also reserved an area of {{cvt|200|m2}} for holding art exhibitions.{{cite web|url=https://news.cnyes.com/news/id/4203611|title=(Chinese)桃園統領改裝完成 估營收增逾3成 未來每年年增5%|website=news.cnyes.com|accessdate=12 April 2021}}
