Seongnam Legal Complex to Relocate to Former Site of 1st Industrial Complex in Sinheung-dong

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The legal complex in Dandae-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, will be relocated to the site of the former 1st Industrial Complex in Sinheung-dong.

On the 5th, Seongnam City announced that the Court Administration Office held a 'Court Building Construction Deliberation Committee' meeting regarding the relocation of the legal complex building and adopted the agenda with a favorable opinion.

Accordingly, the city will officially proceed with the 'Seongnam Legal Complex Relocation and Development Project,' involving the Suwon District and Family Court Seongnam Branch, and the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office Seongnam Branch.

The city plans to designate and announce the area around 2460-1 Sinheung-dong, covering 43,129㎡, as an urban planning facility for public office buildings. Subsequently, the Seongnam Branch and the Seongnam Prosecutors' Office will construct court and prosecutor buildings to establish the legal complex and relocate there.

The detailed construction scale and groundbreaking schedule will be decided later through consultation between the Seongnam Branch and the Seongnam Prosecutors' Office.

The current legal complex building was constructed in 1981 with an area of 21,268㎡, but the building has aged, and the office and parking spaces are cramped, causing inconvenience to both employees and visitors. Therefore, the Seongnam Branch and the Seongnam Prosecutors' Office considered relocating to 190 Gumi-dong, a 32,061㎡ site secured in 1997, but accepted Seongnam City's opinion, which was concerned about the hollowing out of the old downtown area, and decided to relocate to Sinheung-dong.

Right next to the newly developed Sinheung-dong legal complex site, Seongnam City's 1st Industrial Complex Neighborhood Park, covering 46,614㎡, will be completed in March next year.

Thus, the site of the 1st Industrial Complex in Sinheung-dong, Sujeong-gu (1974?2004), where about 30 factories relocated in 2004 and has remained vacant until now, is expected to be transformed into a public legal administrative space and a citizen rest area, becoming a landmark of the region.
