Results of the 17th Architectural Review Committee of Busan Metropolitan City in 2025
This summarizes the main deliberation results of the 17th Architectural Review Committee of Busan Metropolitan City held on December 16, 2025.
As previously posted, the development of residential buildings in Eco Delta City Block 12 has laid the groundwork for the project to proceed in earnest following the approval of the public housing construction project plan in November 2025. Also, the Centum SKY.V project located at 1522 U-dong was conditionally approved in the Architectural Committee meeting held on August 8, 2024; hence, matters related to this deliberation have been organized in advance.
In this review, both Eco Delta City Block 12 and 62-1 Seo Dae Shin Dong received conditional approvals, and construction commencement is expected to be expedited once the supplementary requirements are fulfilled. In particular, due to its characteristics as a high-rise building, the Centum SKY.V will proceed with subsequent review procedures based on the validation of its structure and foundation.
The main subjects of this review are the public housing construction project with private participation in Eco Delta City Block 12, the mixed-use construction in Seo Dae Shin Dong, and the construction of the SKY.V mixed-use facility in U-dong, Haeundae District. If these projects proceed smoothly, they are expected to positively impact Busan's living environment and urban development.
Public Housing Construction Project by Private Participation in Eco Delta City Block 12
Busan Metropolitan City plans to conditionally approve the construction project of residential buildings in Eco Delta City Block 12, located in Gangdong-dong, Gangseo-gu, at the Architectural Review Committee meeting scheduled for December 16, 2025.
This conditional approval allows for subsequent procedures to proceed as long as it meets the required supplementary conditions, indicating a high likelihood of swift progression to the next phase if the stipulated conditions are satisfied.
Thus, there is significant interest in the progress of this project.
In the Eco Delta City 12BL area, DL E&C is expected to lead the development of Happy World. In November, the news of the approval of the public housing construction project plan was also conveyed. For further details, please refer to the previous posting.
The plan includes 1,086 housing units consisting of 15 buildings ranging from 1 basement floor to 23 above ground on a site of 71,851㎡. This project is significant as part of the large-scale supply of public housing within Eco Delta City, including ancillary welfare and neighborhood commercial facilities.
During the review process, thorough 'safety reviews' and 'clear documentation' related to various aspects such as structure, soil quality, and facilities were emphasized. For example, it required documentation reflecting structural safety supplements and flood conditions, as well as checking plans for waterproofing and foundation tests. Thus, it was requested to proceed in a manner that clarifies conditions and prepares verification data to reduce risks rather than making fundamental design changes.
Progress on the housing construction project is gradually being solidified. The Busan Urban Corporation plans to commence full-scale project activities following the approval of the project plan in November 2025.
Additionally, it aims to start construction in the first half of 2026, and it is expected that if the conditional approval items are thoroughly implemented, the purpose of the review can be met. In this case, it is highly likely that the project will move to the construction and sales phases.

Mixed-use Construction in Seo Dae Shin Dong - 62-1 Seo Dae Shin Dong, Seo-gu and two other parcels
Busan Metropolitan City conditionally approved the mixed-use construction plan located at 62-1 Seo Dae Shin Dong, Seo-gu on December 16, 2025, at the Architectural Review Committee. This decision effectively corresponds to approval, and it is anticipated that the licensing process will proceed once the proposed supplementary conditions are fulfilled, entering into the construction preparatory stage thereafter.
The site is a small parcel with an area of 647.61㎡, characterized by general commercial district attributes, with established maximum height restrictions under fire safety districts and street areas. The construction plan is structured from 1 basement to 26 floors above ground, consisting of a single building. There will be a harmonious combination of residential facilities (including urban type), office facilities (officetels), and neighborhood commercial facilities in an urban mixed-use development.
In particular, since the floor area ratio is a notably high 1,051.92%, structural stability and tight coordination during the design and construction process are required. This situation necessitates careful consideration of frequent interferences between processes.
The supplementary review requirements are primarily focused on 'issues that are likely to arise in high-density mixed-use buildings in urban areas'. Reinforcing the slab section losses, reviewing the safety of underground walls, and clearly expressing the transfer structure are emphasized as basic requirements.
Additionally, regarding soil and foundation, further ground investigations and a clearer understanding of the excavation impact range are needed. This corresponds to the request to reduce risks before commencing construction, contributing to the safety of the building.
Ultimately, the most crucial factor in this project is the 'promptness of condition fulfillment'. Due to the nature of conditional approvals, once the required supplementary materials are organized and the site conditions (excavation, measurement, safety management, etc.) are reflected in the project plans, the next steps can proceed relatively smoothly. The tight timeline of mixed-use construction projects in small sites suggests that the fulfillment of conditions and design modifications will significantly impact the start time of construction.

SKY.V Centum Mixed-use Facility Construction - 1522, U-dong, Haeundae-gu
Busan Metropolitan City conducted a review of the construction plan for the high-rise business facilities and officetels of Centum SKY.V located at 1522 U-dong, Haeundae District on December 16, 2025. The supplementary conditions presented will require further reviews from the expert committee in the future.
The core of this review is not to amend the overall plan but to clearly organize and submit the necessary structural and foundational safety validations required for high-rise buildings. This request is seen as an important measure to enhance the project's safety.
Located in the center of Centum City, the site has various apartment model houses constructed, but has been a discussion for development for an extended period. The symbolic high-rise building of Dongwon Development, 'Centum SKY.V', is planned to rise as a mixed-use development project integrating business facilities, officetels, and commercial space.
It received a conditional approval during the 7th architectural review in 2024, and currently is undergoing final licensing procedures, including re-evaluation of underground safety assessments, changes in traffic impact assessments, and modifications related to building permits. This process is considered a critical step for the future of the site.
According to the review documents, the project consists of a high-rise building extending from 7 basement floors to 64 above ground, reaching a maximum height of 280.77m, with a total floor area of about 260,000㎡. The primary use consists of business facilities and 666 officetel units, along with neighborhood commercial and retail facilities.
However, while the document mentions one building, previous architectural review documents and bird's-eye views indicate a high likelihood of this being an error. Therefore, it is expected that the project will actually comprise two buildings.
The matters covered in this review span various areas, but particularly focus on critical structural details such as the flat plate sections, column connections, and transfer structures, as well as the verification of pile support. The core demand is to enhance the 'completeness of the review basis and submitted documents'. If these conditions are met, there is likely to be no major change in the direction of the project beyond just the construction schedule.
Conditional approvals generally require the fulfillment of supplementary conditions and often lead to a procedure equivalent to actual approval. In the case of Centum SKY.V, once the supplementary conditions are thoroughly organized and pass the re-examination, the building permit process is likely to proceed as normal.
In this case, there is considerable potential for construction to commence within 2026. The key points are the promptness of supplementary documentation submission and the convincing nature of safety validations. The quicker these elements are organized, the sooner the construction timeline will be advanced.
