Maintenance Plan Decision and Zone Designation Notification for the Sujeong 3 Redevelopment Project
The area of 1011-51, Sujeong-dong, Dong-gu is a noteworthy location for real estate investment.
Considering the increase in households along with the North Port redevelopment and Choryang project through zoning maps and location analysis is essential.
These factors have a significant impact on investment decisions.
On January 21, 2026, Busan Metropolitan City confirmed the decision on the maintenance plan and designation of the 'Sujeong 3 Redevelopment Project' for the area of 1011-51, Sujeong-dong, Dong-gu. This designation of the maintenance zone took about 13 months after the residents' briefing session and public notice scheduled to take place in December 2024.
The Sujeong 3 district will be redeveloped into 7 apartment buildings with a total area of 29,817.3㎡, comprising 4 basement floors and 32 above-ground floors. The project is expected to more than double the number of units from the existing 233 units to 624 units, and the feasibility is evaluated positively according to the maintenance plan.
In particular, over 40% of the total units are designed to have a floor area of 85㎡ or less, and rental housing is also expected to be secured beyond legal standards. This plan is anticipated to provide local residents with more diverse housing options.
By changing part of the second-class general residential area to a third-class general residential area in the land use plan, high-density development centered on apartment buildings has become possible.
As a result, the building coverage ratio is set to be below 50%, the planned floor area ratio is set to be below 247%, and the maximum height is set to be below 93m, while maintenance-based facilities such as public buildings and parking lots, as well as roads, will also be improved.
This plan includes relocating two large churches, Seongil Church and Reconstruction Busan Church, into the area and constructing new facilities. This approach signifies that existing religious facilities will not be preserved in their current state, but will be transformed into modern facilities along with redevelopment. This approach is interpreted as a consideration for both land use efficiency and the stability of the maintenance project.
Additionally, the Sujeong branch central library and the cultural property of the traditional house 'Cultural Empathy Sujeong' have been excluded from this redevelopment site. These buildings are quite old and could potentially lead to complaints during the redevelopment process. These factors are expected to influence future projects.
The location conditions are notably good. It is very close to the Sujeongsan water facility, the administrative welfare center, and the municipal central library's Sujeong branch, enhancing the convenience of life. In particular, redevelopment around the North Port is actively ongoing in the areas of Choryang and Sujeong-dong.
In relation to this, the Choryang 3 district's Hoban Summit Central Bay has completed demolition work and plans to be sold in the first half of 2026. Furthermore, the Sujeong 2 district has already been designated as a maintenance zone, and the procedures for the area concerning Sujeong Apartments in the Sujeong 4 district are also in progress.
The Sujeong 3 district is expected to emerge as a key area leading the reorganization of Dong-gu's residential areas along with these development projects.
