Groundbreaking Ceremony for Yongsan-gu Yongmun-dong Resident Community Center

With a project cost of 3.1 billion KRW, Yongmundong 38-191... Total floor area 524.61㎡, 1 basement, 4 above-ground floors

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (District Mayor Seongjanghyun) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Yongmun-dong Resident Community Center at 4 p.m. on the 14th.

This is to fulfill the long-cherished project of the residents of Yongmun-dong by reflecting the opinions of the residents gathered through on-site communication.

In 2019, the district held on-site communication sessions with residents from 16 neighborhoods within the area. At that time, the residents of Yongmun-dong submitted the opinion that a resident convenience complex facility where cultural activities are possible was needed as a long-cherished project. Accordingly, after preliminary review, the district secured the budget and began preparations for the establishment of the Resident Community Center.

The total project cost is 3.1 billion KRW. The district established the basic plan for the construction of the Yongmun-dong Resident Community Center in October last year.

The project site is located at 38-191 Yongmun-dong. The district started construction this month, aiming to open in April next year. The Resident Community Center is designed with a total floor area of 524.61㎡, consisting of one basement floor and four above-ground floors.

The interior is divided into ▲ Basement 1: multipurpose room, storage (90.70㎡), ▲ 1st floor: parking lot, lounge, resident autonomy committee office (110.83㎡), ▲ 2nd floor: small library (115.58㎡), ▲ 3rd floor: shared caf? (115.58㎡), ▲ 4th floor: resident autonomy committee program room (91.92㎡).

The construction design was carried out from February to June. Along with the groundbreaking this month, the district plans to commission a separate interior design service next year to decorate the 1st floor lobby, 2nd floor small library, and 3rd floor shared caf? spaces.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held at 4 p.m. on the 14th. It proceeded for 30 minutes in the order of national ceremony, introduction of guests, progress report, commemorative and congratulatory speeches, and groundbreaking. About 50 people, including Yongsan District Mayor Seongjanghyun, residents, and related officials, attended.

Yongsan District Mayor Seongjanghyun said, “The Community Center will be a space where residents can gather in one place to talk and participate in program activities,” adding, “We will do our best to carry out the construction quickly and safely so that it can return to the residents next year.”
