The Busan Metropolitan City Building Committee conditionally approved the construction project of 'Central Fore Munhyeon' proposed by the Munhyeon Maru Residents Association during the meeting held on July 8, 2025. This project is planned to consist of 6 buildings ranging from 4 basement floors to 35 above-ground floors, including a total of 804 housing units and neighborhood facilities.
The site area reaches 33,861㎡, with a building coverage ratio of 12.95% and a floor area ratio of 229.24%. This project is expected to contribute to improving the residential environment and enhancing living convenience in the Busan area.
The committee demanded various supplementary requirements. Specifically, it required the addition of girders for the deep deck spanning 3 spans, and a reworking of the balcony PD upper wall construction plan. Furthermore, it included requests for enhancing the drainage of the sump and tank room, submitting comparative data for ground construction methods, adjusting conditions for large plate bearing tests, redesigning the two-step retaining wall along the terrain, addressing subsidence and anchor bracket stability, and forming an advisory group for soil and foundation consultation.
The association secured a project financing loan of 200 billion won under the guidance of Meritz Securities last November. The contractor, POSCO E&C, is required to complete the construction within 52 months after starting the project, with the possibility of one six-month extension under unavoidable circumstances. With the necessary funds in place, it is expected that construction will progress smoothly once the technical and safety enhancements and design changes indicated in this conditional resolution are completed.
The project site located at 334 Munhyeon Dong in Namgu, Busan is situated between JigeGol Station and MokGol Station on Subway Line 2. This area boasts excellent accessibility to various transportation networks such as the Dongseo Overpass and Hwangryeong Tunnel, along with proximity to green spaces such as Uryongsan Park, UN Memorial Park, and Peace Park, thereby creating a pleasant residential environment.
Such location conditions are evaluated as significant factors enhancing the future value of the complex, in conjunction with ongoing redevelopment and reconstruction projects in the Namgu area.
For more detailed information on the status of the Busan Namgu residents' association as of June 2024, please refer to the post below.
The association aims to meet the conditions requested by the committee and is preparing the amended documents to obtain building permits. To this end, an external advisory group composed of numerous structural and soil specialists is forming to expedite the review process and is aiming to start construction within this year in consultation with the contractor. If the enhancements addressing safety and constructability pointed out during the review are incorporated into the design, 'Central Fore Munhyeon' is likely to establish itself as the central complex of a brand residential belt comprising 10,000 units in the Munhyeon Dong area.

Gwaebob Dong 553-2 Mixed-use Apartment Private Rental Housing Construction
A new supply of private rental housing is set to be actively pursued near Sasang Station, a major transportation hub in the western part of Busan. The Busan Metropolitan City Building Committee conditionally approved the private rental housing construction proposal submitted by Yuwon Blue Stay for Gwaebob Dong 553-2 during the meeting held on July 8.
This project plans to build a mixed-use building of 26 above-ground floors and 1 basement floor, reaching a maximum height of 87.1m on a site of 1,772.5㎡ included in the general commercial zone. This building will consist of collective housing (apartments) and business facilities (officetels), and will be supplied as public-supported private rental housing rather than for general sale. This project has previously passed through the Busan City’s 8th Building Committee review.
The supply of private rental housing near Sasang Station is expected to enhance the residents' living environment along with improving transportation convenience. Future progress is being closely monitored.
The Busan Building Committee has recently emphasized reinforcing the structural safety and construction quality of the project while approving the overall plan. According to the review results, the committee required clarification on the grade of mechanical joints for the rebar, and stipulated the provision of clear drawings to facilitate understanding and construction at the site. Additionally, they recommended strengthening waterproofing methods for outdoor areas and bathrooms with high-performance methods and enhancing noise-proofing and vibration-proofing measures for the machine room, presenting clear improvement items for the entire construction.
The site of this project is evaluated to hold great potential in connection with the development of the Sasang Station complex transfer center. The area around Sasang Station, which gathers urban railway line 2, Busan-Gimhae Light Rail, and the western intercity bus terminal, is expected to become the biggest transportation hub in western Busan, with future plans for connections to the Bujeon-Masan intercity train and Sasang-Hadan line. With quality private rental housing supplied in such an important location, it is anticipated to be an attractive option for workers and newlyweds prioritizing transportation convenience, contributing positively to the improvement of the regional residential environment.
