The Starbucks store in Keelung, known as one of the most beautiful Starbucks in Taiwan, was purchased by a developer for 110 million without a loan. After changing ownership earlier this year, a construction company, Shen Yang Construction, took over the property of 367.41 ping with a land size of 931.77 ping. The current plan seems to involve preparing for a residential development project as the Starbucks lease is expiring. With the rising property prices in the area, developers are eyeing the opportunity to launch new housing projects in the neighborhood, where prices have surged to 21-26 thousand per ping for existing buildings. The property's strategic location and the potential integration of adjacent residential lands may push the project's starting price to at least a three-figure amount.

According to a study by the South Korean central bank, the population's strong preference for luxury brand products is causing higher inflation in the country compared to other developed nations, making it challenging to control living costs. The study shows that the high demand for luxury goods weakens price elasticity and helps global distributors consolidate their sales in the local market. With high-end brand sales concentrated in upscale department stores charging high fees, foreign fashion businesses often set higher prices in South Korea, where only 3% of purchases by department stores come directly from manufacturers. This trend has led to limited effectiveness of monetary policy due to the high price levels, as noted by the South Korean central bank's governor, Lee Chang-kyung, emphasizing that the country's high cost of living is a problem that cannot be solved solely through monetary policy.
