Geumcheon-gu SM Ellui Apartment Attached Parking Lot Opening

First in the District to Sign Agreement with Apartment Complex; Sharing 40 Underground Parking Spaces from May... Operated as Resident Priority Parking for Nearby Residents and Workers... Total of 125 Private Parking Spaces Opened Including Large Buildings and Churches

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) signed a tripartite business agreement on the 29th at 2:30 PM on the first floor of SM Ellui Apartment (20, Siheung-daero 37-gil) with ‘SM Ellui Apartment’ and ‘Geumcheon-gu Facilities Management Corporation’ to open and share the attached parking lot.

The ‘Attached Parking Lot Opening and Sharing Project’ is a project that opens and shares vacant parking spaces in attached parking lots of apartments and companies to external residents to alleviate parking difficulties, and provides incentives such as support for parking facility improvement costs to the buildings that open their parking lots.

This agreement is the first case in the district to be signed with an apartment. According to the agreement, ‘SM Ellui Apartment’ will open 40 attached parking spaces as resident-priority parking, providing parking spaces not only for external residents but also for workers.

The usage fee is 30,000 KRW per month, and the available hours are from 7 AM to 7 PM. Those who wish to use the parking can apply through the Geumcheon-gu Facilities Management Corporation.

Until now, the opening of attached parking lots had been a concern for building managers such as apartments due to difficulties in management including parking safety accidents and illegal parking.

However, through the tripartite agreement, the Geumcheon-gu Facilities Management Corporation operates the parking lots directly in a resident-priority parking method, reducing the burden on building managers while allowing economic benefits such as reducing apartment management fees through the parking revenue generated.

In addition to SM Ellui Apartment, this attached parking lot opening and sharing project includes a total of five private buildings: W Mall (188, Digital-ro, Geumcheon-gu) with 30 spaces, Namseong Plaza (130, Digital-ro, Geumcheon-gu) with 20 spaces, Camellia (705, Geumha-ro) with 30 spaces, and Elim Church (22, Doksan-ro 28-gil, Geumcheon-gu) with 5 spaces, providing a total of 125 parking spaces to residents.

Meanwhile, since last year, the district has been operating the private attached parking lot opening project in a resident-priority parking method through collaboration with the Facilities Management Corporation, the first of its kind nationwide.

The district’s parking lot sharing model was selected as an excellent case of daily transportation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in July last year and introduced to local governments nationwide.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “The supply of new parking lots is limited by budget and land acquisition, so sharing already established parking lots has become an alternative to solving local parking problems,” and added, “We will review and implement various measures to solve parking problems through the parking lot sharing project.”
