Creating Future Value!... Geumcheon-gu Building Naming Project Promotion

Promotion targeting 129 unnamed buildings over 1000㎡ in collective architecture... Naming buildings to reflect local characteristics for convenience and brand value enhancement... Basic survey, site inspection, and opinion collection followed by project application acceptance in July-August

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is promoting a 'Building Name Assignment Project' to assign names to apartment complexes and neighborhood living facilities.

Many cases exist where building names are missing in the building register, or the actual usage names are not recorded in the register. Also, sometimes people try to find locations using only the building name without knowing the exact address, which can be quite challenging.

As a solution, the district planned the 'Building Name Assignment Project' to enable easy location identification using only the building name and to provide accurate location information during real estate transactions.

The district previously selected 129 buildings without names out of 3,567 collective buildings with a total floor area of 1,000㎡ or more, excluding single-family houses, as the project targets.

The district plans to complete the project by December this year after verifying ownership, investigating basic data such as actual usage names, conducting on-site inspections, and gathering opinions.

Applications for building name changes will be accepted from July to August. Owners can decide on a building name and submit the application form to the Real Estate Information Division of the district office.

The district will send guidance documents and application forms to each owner by mail in July.

For building names, pure Korean names reflecting regional characteristics such as 'cultural heritage,' 'specialized streets and commercial district names, road names,' and 'geographical features' are recommended. Names including 'foreign languages and special characters,' 'exceeding character limits,' 'identical building names in nearby areas,' and 'large corporation brands' are restricted.

For apartment complexes, 75% owner consent is required, and the district will handle registration office services related to building name changes on behalf of the owners.

Mayor Yu Seong-hoon stated, "We ask for active participation in the building name assignment project to create future value," and added, "We will do our best to enhance building recognition and brand value to realize a happy city, Geumcheon."
