Housing can also apply for WELL: Joyear Land's Heping East Road residence earned Silver under WELL Core. WELL for residential (WFR), designed specifically for homes, is a separate program not included in this directory; see " What Is WFR?".
Precertification
Precertification reviews design documents and committed operating policies during design or construction; it means IWBI has endorsed the direction, but it is not yet certification, and the project must pass performance verification after completion to earn a level.
| Project | Owner / occupant | City | System | Level | Achieved |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core Pacific Plaza (京華廣場) | Core Pacific Development Corporation (鼎越開發) | Taipei | WELL Core | Precertified | 2023-11 |
| Ji Shun Qian'an Building (residential) | Ji Shun Life Tech (吉順生活科技) | Taipei | WELL v2 | Precertified | 2022-11 |

Another 5 precertified projects with undisclosed names are all in Taipei.
WELL Health-Safety Rating (HSR)
HSR focuses on operating policies such as cleaning and disinfection, emergency preparedness, and indoor air and water quality management. It must be renewed every year and is not a WELL certification level. The table below lists currently valid, named HSRs; another 9 have undisclosed names, mostly in finance and insurance.
| Project | Owner | Location | Type | Valid until | Achieved |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Chartered, 5 locations | Standard Chartered Bank | Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu | HSR | Valid until 2027-07 | 2026-07 |
| Bloomberg Taipei Office | Bloomberg | Taipei | HSR | Valid until 2027-04 | 2026-04 |
| Nomura Asset Management SITE 101 Office | Nomura Asset Management Taiwan | Taipei | HSR | Valid until 2027-08 | 2026-08 |
How Was This List Compiled, and What Should You Keep in Mind?
- Data comes from IWBI's official WELL Projects Directory, compiled from public data as of November 5, 2026; dates are the achievement dates recorded by IWBI.
- Projects that chose not to disclose their names or not to be listed at all do not appear, so Taiwan's actual number of WELL projects is higher than this list.
- Recertifications of the same project are not double-counted; HSRs that expire without renewal disappear from the directory.
- Levels follow the IWBI directory. Where media reports give a different level, this page uses the directory data.
- Some projects have no public Chinese name yet, so their original English names are kept.

WELL in Taiwan FAQ
How many buildings in Taiwan have WELL certification?
According to IWBI's official directory, as of November 5, 2026, Taiwan has 50 publicly listed WELL certifications: 27 Platinum, 20 Gold and 3 Silver; plus 11 precertifications, 16 valid HSRs, and 147 registered projects without a result yet. Projects with undisclosed names or not listed in the directory are not counted.
Which was the first project in Taiwan to earn WELL certification?
The earliest Taiwanese certification in the IWBI directory is Formosa Builders HQ in Kaohsiung (WELL v1 Silver, March 2018). An IWBI press release states that Metropole Head Office was Taiwan's first WELL Gold interior space certification (September 2018); the earliest Platinum in the directory is LKP Architecture (June 2020).
What level of WELL certification does Taipei 101 hold?
Taipei 101 earned WELL Core Platinum in June 2023. IWBI notes it is the first of the world's ten tallest buildings to achieve WELL Core.
Where can I check the official list of WELL-certified projects?
Go to IWBI's official WELL Projects Directory and filter by Taiwan to see each project's system, level and achievement date. Owners can choose not to disclose names or not to be listed, though, so the directory shows fewer projects than actually exist.
Why do many projects in the directory have no name?
Owners of WELL projects can choose to appear as "Private Project." Taiwan's directory has 99 entries with undisclosed names, mostly in finance and insurance and new office buildings.
Does precertification count as WELL certification?
No. Precertification reviews design documents and committed policies during design or construction, meaning IWBI has endorsed the direction; after completion, the project must still pass performance verification to earn a formal level such as Silver, Gold or Platinum.
How is the WELL Health-Safety Rating (HSR) different from WELL certification?
HSR assesses only operating policies such as cleaning and disinfection, emergency preparedness, and air and water quality management; it is renewed annually and has no Bronze-to-Platinum levels. WELL certification covers ten concepts (Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community), requires on-site performance verification, and is valid for 3 years.
Are there WELL-certified homes in Taiwan?
Yes. Joyear Land's Heping East Road residence earned Silver under WELL Core (March 2025), and the Ji Shun Qian'an Building earned WELL v2 precertification. WELL for residential, designed specifically for homes, is a separate program that certifies each home; see the article "What Is WFR?".
Are there WELL-certified hospitals in Taiwan?
Yes. Mennonite Christian Hospital in Hualien earned WELL v2 Gold in September 2026; other healthcare-related projects include the Changhua Christian Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center (WELL v1 Gold), several postpartum care centers and Jutopia Senior Day Care Center 63 (all Platinum).
Where should I start if I want my building to earn WELL certification?
Start with a feasibility assessment: confirm the system to apply for (whole building WELL Core, interior space WELL v2, or residential WFR), the target level and budget, then decide whether to pursue precertification first.
