Decision on Maintenance Plan and Designation of Maintenance Area for Deokcheon Phase 1 Redevelopment Project
The area around 342-2 Deokcheon-dong, Buk-gu, Busan is an attractive investment location.
The location and development progress of this area are important information for investors.
In terms of profitability, the region is expected to see a rise in value in the future.

The maintenance plan and designation of the redevelopment area for the Deokcheon Phase 1 Redevelopment Project in 342-2 Deokcheon-dong, Buk-gu, Busan has been officially confirmed through a public notice. This notice was issued approximately six months after the public exhibition and explanation meeting announcement in May 2025, marking significant progress in the project.
The total area of the maintenance zone is 28,310㎡, of which the land for apartments is 20,746㎡, the land for religious facilities is 355㎡, and the maintenance infrastructure occupies 7,209㎡. The land use area has been changed from the existing 2nd general residential area to the 3rd general residential area.
According to the building plan, residential apartments are to be the main use, with the building coverage ratio limited to under 30% and the floor area ratio to under 264%. Additionally, the maximum height of the buildings is limited to 108m. These standards aim for regional development and improvement of the living environment.

Currently, the number of housing units within the maintenance area is 412, with an expected increase to around 500 units according to the maintenance plan. Although the increase in the number of units is not significant, most of the planned housing is designed to be within 85㎡, making it possible for existing members to return.
However, with a proportional rate set at 100%, the increase in the number of new units compared to existing units is low. Alongside this, the proportional rate does not indicate strong profitability, raising questions about the feasibility of the project.

Currently ongoing local redevelopment projects include Deokcheon Phase 2 and Deokcheon Phase 3. These areas are large-scale maintenance projects within the Deokcheon residential area of Buk-gu, and positive changes in the overall living environment are expected.
However, as the speed and scale of the projects, as well as the floor area ratios, differ from area to area, the viability of each area's project is expected to become clearer in the future as project approvals and construction company selection processes progress. These changes may significantly impact the surrounding environment.
The project site is located near Sukdeung Station on Busan Subway Line 3, and improvements in living infrastructure are expected due to the potential development of Phase 2 and 3 across Manduk-daero. However, to date, the increase in the number of housing units is minimal, and the anticipated proportional rate is not high, necessitating a thorough review of profitability.
