History

 * In August 1994, TaiMall Development Co., Ltd. cooperated with the land policy of the industrial and commercial complex promoted by the government and filed an application for the development of the Nankan industrial and commercial complex into a shopping center. It took three years to obtain the development permit and complete the land change. With a two-year construction period with a total expenditure of NT$7.4 billion, the TaiMall Nankan Family Entertainment Shopping Center officially opened on July 4, 1999.
 * In October 2008, GIC (Singaporean sovereign wealth fund), the original shareholder of TaiMall Development, established a Singapore-based company New TaiMall Global Co., Ltd. in Taiwan. The operation management and planning of the shopping center is managed by the TaiMall Shopping Center Management Consulting Co., Ltd. under the Singaporean multinational company "Keppel Corporation".
 * On December 18, 2010, after a two-year and two-stage major renovation, it was refurbished and opened with "New TaiMall Getting Better".
 * From July to October 2014, with the theme of TaiMall's "Belle Era: A New Departure", it spent NT$300 million on refitting, and the refurbishment opened in December.
 * In 2015, the performance reached a record high, becoming the number one department store in Taoyuan City.
 * In 2016, the second basement floor was remodeled, and about 1,300 m2 of area were remodeled and adjusted, and the sports venues were adjusted into retail clothing and exquisite lifestyle stores. The re-planned stylish commercial space is spacious and comfortable, presenting a simple Loft fashion light industrial style. The original sports venue is integrated with the outdoor green space plan, and it is converted to an open recreational space that combines multiple functions such as sports, entertainment, and leisure.
 * In 2017, the annual performance was NT$6 billion, ranking No. 1 in Taoyuan City Department Store for three consecutive years; it won the fourth place in the category of service industry-department shopping center in CommonWealth Magazine in 2017.
