The projects discussed here are located in Beomcheondong, Oncheondong, Geojeongdong, and Eomeongdong and are expected to play a crucial role in local development. These construction activities have great potential to lead to improvements in Busan's residential environment and invigorate the local economy.
Construction of Hope More Apartment in Beomcheondong - Busanjin-gu Beomcheondong 858-6
The Busan Metropolitan City Architectural Committee conditionally approved the construction of the 'Hope More Apartment' at Beomcheondong 858-6 and surrounding sites on June 26, 2025. This project is led by Korea Land Trust Co., Ltd., and is located in a general commercial area and fire protection zone, as well as areas with maximum height limits by street zones.
The total site area is 6,481.10㎡, designed with 6 basement floors and 49 above-ground floors, reaching a maximum height of 167.1m. This apartment complex includes two buildings consisting of multi-family housing, business facilities, and neighborhood living facilities. The total floor area is planned to be 115,727.037㎡, with a building coverage ratio of 63.88% and a floor area ratio of 1,293.19%.
The committee set conditions to ensure the safety of the structure, including a steel bridge, rooftop solar structures, and separate casting of TG beams. Additionally, measures to prevent sinkhole occurrences due to changes in groundwater levels and additional testing and management consulting for the load-bearing capacity of the field-cast piles were required. Before construction begins, documentation regarding the renewable energy replacement rate due to elevated energy efficiency ratings must also be submitted.
The Hope More Apartment in Beomcheondong is one of the pilot projects of Busan City's youth housing policy 'Hope More Housing', with rental fees set below 75% of market prices. The city plans to establish a total of 4,812 units across 16 locations by June 2025 and has stated its intention to expand project sites and simplify procedures for designating development areas through regulatory relaxation.

Construction of Hope More Housing in Oncheondong - Dongnae-gu Oncheondong 1447-11
The Busan Metropolitan City Architectural Committee conditionally approved the construction of the 'Hope More Housing' located at Oncheondong 1447-11, Dongnae-gu on June 26, 2025. The project is managed by Korea Asset Trust Co., Ltd. and is located in a general commercial area, fire protection zone, and an area with maximum height limits per street.
The planned building consists of 1 basement floor and 28 above-ground floors, reaching a maximum height of 99.1m and a total floor area of 38,752.11㎡. The building coverage ratio is set at 75.10%, and the floor area ratio is 1,277.26%.
The committee proposed several conditions to ensure structural safety. These include reinforcing the detailed design of dampers and reviewing the addition of rebar at the bottom of beams when casting TG beams separately. Additionally, if weak ground is found, ground replacement must be conducted, and construction times must consider rainy and cold periods to prevent poor workmanship. Furthermore, the committee required adjustments to measurement devices and installation of X-bracing under the construction plate to strengthen measurement management.
The project site is within a 3-minute walk from Minam Station on the urban subway lines 3 and 4, making public transportation very accessible. Additionally, essential convenience facilities are concentrated nearby, increasing its attractiveness as a residential area. The Hope More Housing will be rented at 75% below market prices for youth and newlyweds, with private developers managing construction and rentals while the city provides financial support and regulates approvals.
This project was conditionally approved during the 3rd Architectural Committee meeting held on February 20. Recently, additional proposals on structural and ground reinforcement were made during the review. Consequently, there is an increasing need to modify and implement detailed designs before construction commencement. If these conditions are met, approximately 292 rental apartments in a transit-oriented area are expected to be supplied, helping stabilize housing for the youth.

On May 19, 2025, the Busan Metropolitan City Architectural Committee conditionally approved the 'Gyo-dae Station Hanyang Plaza Mixed-Use Construction Project' located in Geojeongdong 129-5. The project's implementing company is BS Asset Management Co., Ltd., and the area is in a district planning and semi-residential area. The planned building consists of 4 basement floors and 44 above-ground floors, with a maximum height of 143.1m.

The committee additionally required detailed structural designs for transfer plates, transfer mats, and rooftop solar structures. It also mandated load testing for EnP files and further evaluation of the supporting capacity of weathered rock. Once construction begins, it will be necessary to ensure safety timelines and re-evaluate the construction period, and plans addressing groundwater level fluctuations and a management consulting team for measurements were also proposed as conditions. These procedures are expected to contribute to the stability and efficiency of future projects.
The area has been set up for mixed development, including more than 5% of commercial and business ratios, following the 'Gyo-dae Station 2 Semi-Residential Mixed District Plan' announced on December 27, 2023.
The distance from Gyo-dae Station on Line 1 is about 183m, accessible within about 3 minutes on foot, making public transportation very convenient. Moreover, Suan Station and Dongnae Station are also within 1km, making transportation conditions excellent.
If the project successfully starts construction, the site near Kyo-dae Station will transform into a residential and commercial complex with 390 units rising 44 floors high. This is expected to change the local skyline and partially alleviate residential demand in transit-oriented areas.

Eomeong 1st District Redevelopment Project - Sasang-gu Eomeongdong 412
On June 26, 2025, the Busan Metropolitan City Architectural Committee conditionally approved the Eomeong 1st District Housing Redevelopment Project located at Eomeongdong 412 in Sasang-gu. This project plans to construct 13 multi-family housing buildings with a site area of 67,186㎡, consisting of 5 basement floors and 36 above-ground floors.
The building will have a maximum height of 103.45m, a coverage ratio of 16.39%, and a floor area ratio of 261.32%. The total floor area is expected to reach 289,856.1352㎡, signifying significant changes in the local housing environment.
The committee required confirmation of whether wastewater and stormwater pipes intersect and their slopes during construction. Furthermore, after constructing the underground parking lot, it is necessary to estimate the required time per process for PHC piles and conduct simulations of fire door locks.
It also emphasized the need for review concerning interference between temporary facilities and foundations. Additionally, drainage system design for landslide-prone layers and timing adjustments for constructing the retaining wall, along with checking the safety of excavations and conducting CCTV and 3D GPR surveys in the excavation impact area were proposed as conditions.
The project is set to consist of 1,670 units of apartments and various auxiliary facilities and will be constructed by Kolon Global. The management association held a general meeting last year to change the management disposition plan, applying a floor area ratio of 256.6% and coverage ratio of 16.39%, completing the approval process. Recently, the construction costs with the contractor have increased to 506.7 billion won.
If the conditions are met and construction begins, it will establish itself as the largest redevelopment complex in the western Busan area, expected to greatly contribute to transforming the local skyline and meeting housing demand.
