[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Seongdong-gu Wangsimni 2-dong Public Complex Building' on the 13th at the construction site of the Wangsimni 2-dong Public Complex Building.

The new Wangsimni 2-dong Public Complex Building will be a five-story building above ground and one basement level, with a total floor area of 1,616㎡. It will include a 10-space parking lot on the first floor, the Dong Community Center on the second floor, a multipurpose room and shared kitchen on the third floor, a Dream Start Center on the fourth floor, and on the fifth floor, a resident cultural space equipped with a gym and a small library.

The existing Wangsimni 2-dong Community Center was built in 1977 and has shared joys and sorrows with residents for 43 years, providing various administrative and welfare services. However, due to the increasing demand for administrative services and resident cultural spaces, the decision was made to rebuild it.

Accordingly, in July 2017, the plan to build the Wangsimni 2-dong Public Complex Building was established, and in September of the same year, the Seoul Metropolitan Government's investment review was completed. In May 2019, the entrusted development project was confirmed with the Korea Asset Management Corporation, leading to the commencement of construction this time.

The building is scheduled to be completed by December 2021. It is expected to transform into a public complex building that meets residents' expectations by providing various convenience facilities such as a gym and a small library, replacing the existing cramped and aging community center.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "Although the Wangsimni 2-dong Community Center has been with residents for a long time, we decided to rebuild it to provide various administrative, cultural, and welfare service opportunities." He added, "We will strive to contribute to improving residents' quality of life through the successful completion of the project."
