Construction of Public Cultural Complex Center in Singil 6-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu

Detailed design service conducted last September... Construction starts this month, aiming for completion in September... Developed as a complex welfare facility reflecting resident needs such as senior centers, I-Land, and village cafes

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) has commenced construction this month on the multipurpose complex facility, the ‘Singil 6-dong Public Cultural Complex Center.’

The newly established Singil 6-dong Public Cultural Complex Center will include a senior citizens’ leisure and convenience facility called a senior center, an I-Land to address the increasing demand for elementary school childcare due to the rise in dual-income households, and a village caf? that will serve as a place for communication and exchange among residents.

The center will be located at 15-16, Sinpung-ro 25-gil, aiming to eliminate the spatial gap in senior convenience facilities, which are relatively scarce in the area. Situated in a densely populated residential area, it is expected to provide easy access for seniors living nearby.

Additionally, it is located within a 5-minute walking distance from Seoul Daebang Elementary School, which is expected to greatly improve convenience for students using the I-Land facility in the future.

Furthermore, with the upcoming completion of the nearby redevelopment promotion project, it is anticipated to significantly contribute to expanding welfare infrastructure and improving the residential environment in response to the increase in floating population.

The center will have a total floor area of 299.64㎡ and will be a four-story building. ▲The first floor will house the village caf? and the senior center (Grandmothers’ Room), ▲the second floor will have the senior center (Grandfathers’ Room), ▲the third floor will be the I-Land (Our Neighborhood Care Center), and ▲the fourth floor will feature an attic and rooftop garden, creating a community communication space that all residents can freely enjoy.

The district signed a land purchase contract in December 2019 and began design services in April last year. In May, public architecture and solar energy experts were consulted regarding the building’s structure and design, and the design services were completed in September.

Subsequently, full-scale construction began in February this year, with plans to accelerate the work aiming for completion by the end of September.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “The Singil 6-dong Public Cultural Complex Center will provide seniors with a comfortable and pleasant resting space, a trustworthy childcare space for children and parents, and an open space where local residents can freely visit and communicate. We hope it will become a hub for generational integration where various generations come together and interact.”
