2025 Busan 10th Architectural Review, 3rd Architectural Scenery Joint Committee Results
On August 7, 2025, the 3rd Architectural Scenery Joint Committee and the 10th Architectural Committee were held in Busan, discussing various key agendas.
During the meeting, the construction project of the Vista Dongwon officetel located at Haeundae-gu Udong 592-23 was conditionally approved. Additionally, the street housing regeneration project for Anrak-dong 144 in Dongnae-gu was also passed with conditional approval, and supplementary procedures will be carried out for business progress in the future.
The construction of the Vista Dongwon officetel in Haeundae-gu Udong reflects the changes, and the street housing regeneration project in Anrak-dong of Dongnae-gu has equally entered an important phase. Such construction plans are expected to have a positive influence on local development.
Haeundae-gu Udong 592-23, Vista Dongwon Officetel Construction Project
The officetel construction project underway at Haeundae-gu Udong 592-23 received conditional approval during the 3rd Busan Architectural Scenery Joint Committee on August 7, 2025.
The plan consists of 6 basement floors and 43 above-ground floors, with a total area of approximately 43,754㎡. The primary use is set as officetel for business purposes, with the highest portion reaching 142.91m. Furthermore, the floor area ratio has been set at 1,198.99%.
The committee requested to adjust the color and pattern of the parking tower to match the main building. They also conditioned that the bicycle storage and exposed part on the 30m roadside should be covered with decorative design to enhance the scenic view. Additionally, measures should be taken to review structural elements during the licensing process.
The site previously occupied by the Haeundae Intercity Bus Station is now cleared, as both the Haeundae Methodist Church and Medical Center have been demolished. This area, located between Haeundae Station and Jungdong Station, is recognized as a transportation hub with excellent accessibility.
Behind the site, the largest redevelopment project in Busan, U-dong District 3, is being actively carried out, and a large apartment complex with approximately 2,400 households is expected to be constructed. Such changes are anticipated to positively affect the development of the officetel and are expected to integrate the living areas with nearby residential communities.
The area around Haeundae Beach is restricted for residential construction according to the district unit plan, so this development will focus primarily on officetel. Nearby is the 'Haeundae Vista Dongwon' apartment complex, and this project is expected to contribute to the continuity of the high-rise skyline.
The revised plan involves an increase in the number of officetel units from 185 to 273, which is a significant expansion. Additionally, the unit composition appears to be adjusted to focus on smaller sizes. These changes will contribute to increasing the diversity of housing types along with local development.
Daehan Global Industry Co., Ltd. primarily operates in the leasing of non-residential buildings, and the CEO is Jang Ho-ik. CEO Jang also serves as the vice-chairman of Dongwon Development, as well as the CEO of Dongwon Urban Development and vice-chairman of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Daehan Global Industry's development projects have mainly been constructed by Dongwon Development, and it has received positive evaluations for high collaboration possibilities in this project.
Ultimately, the officetel construction project taking place on the site of the Haeundae Intercity Bus Station has received conditional approval, moving one step forward. With its connectivity to the U-dong District 3 redevelopment, its advantageous location near Haeundae Station, and being in a densely populated area of high-rise residential and business facilities, the market's interest in the future is expected to rise.

Dongnae-gu Anrak-dong 144 Street Housing Regeneration Project
The street housing regeneration project underway at Dongnae-gu Anrak-dong 144 received conditional approval at the 10th Architectural Committee held on August 7, 2025. This project includes three apartment buildings consisting of 28 floors above ground and 3 basement floors, totaling 290 households along with community facilities and neighborhood facilities.
The total floor area is approximately 43,000㎡, with a site area of 9,683.99㎡ and a maximum height set at 80.9m. The floor area ratio is set at 299.67%, and it is expected to positively affect local development.
The committee presented several conditions. First, it is necessary to improve access by enhancing the entrance flows for both above-ground and underground. Second, a review of the variable layout is needed, and the glass railings of the children's playground along the street should reduce excessive openness.
Third, the color scheme for the senior center should maintain consistency, and a professional signature should be confirmed on the soil investigation report. Lastly, they requested consideration for the possibility of reviewing structural elements during the licensing process. Recommendations were also made to formalize the project area and improve the entrance flow on the basement floor, along with reviewing the potential for sunlight and view improvements for certain unit types.
This project officially commenced after obtaining the association establishment approval in September 2022 and the designation of the business agent in December 2023. The site is located west of the Anrak Tranche Complex 1, evaluated as an area with excellent access to convenient living facilities and transportation.
As of the bid deadline in June 2024, Ilseong Construction and Namkwang Construction were competing for the selection of the builder, but the final results have not yet been officially announced. Currently, the association is proceeding with the project under the trust company agency method, and after completing the design modifications and licensing process based on the conditional approval, they plan to finalize the construction partner and adjust the sale schedule.
This conditional approval focuses on enhancing the functionality of the lower level and the completeness of exterior design while strengthening structural safety. Such aspects are expected to significantly impact the future progress and sale schedule of the project. If the conditions are met, the project is likely to accelerate, necessitating attention from interested parties based on the outcome.
