'Starfield Changwon' to Complete Permits This Year and Begin Construction Early Next Year

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Shinsegae will begin construction early next year on 'Starfield Changwon,' a large-scale complex shopping mall that will be introduced for the first time in a non-metropolitan area.

On the 23rd, Changwon Mayor Heo Seong-mu held a meeting with Lim Young-rok, CEO of Shinsegae Property, a real estate development and supply company of the Shinsegae Group, to discuss the progress and future plans for the construction of Starfield Changwon.

At the meeting, CEO Lim stated, "We will complete the permit procedures this year and start construction of Starfield Changwon early next year."

Starfield Changwon is the first complex shopping mall project being promoted in a non-metropolitan area. It will be built at 792 Jung-dong, Uichang-gu, and will include a shopping mall, theme park, and cultural facilities.

Previously, the Starfield project was delayed last year as some parts of the architectural plan were revised. This was in consideration of the impact on stores caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

CEO Lim Young-rok said, "We are currently preparing to reflect the unique characteristics of COVID-19 and optimize for rapidly changing trends. We plan to complete the permit procedures this year and start construction early next year."

Mayor Heo said, "To coexist with the local community, feasible local talent recruitment and mandatory sales of local products must be implemented. We will proceed with administrative actions for the construction of Starfield Changwon in accordance with procedures and standards."
