[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Shinsegae will begin construction of the large-scale distribution facility 'Starfield Changwon' at the end of this year.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu held a briefing on the 24th regarding the architectural review of Starfield Changwon and stated, "We applied for the architectural review of 'Starfield Changwon' the day before."

Shinsegae will build 'Starfield Changwon' on a commercial site in the Jungdong district of Uichang-gu, where more than 6,000 apartment households have moved in, with 7 basement floors and 5 above-ground floors.

The project cost is 560 billion KRW, with a total floor area of 242,380㎡. The Starfield building will include a shopping mall, Aqua Field, warehouse-type stores, a cinema, indoor sports facilities, and parking lots.

It is known to be larger in scale than the combined four distribution facilities in front of City Hall: Lotte Department Store Changwon Branch, Lotte Young Plaza, Lotte Mart, and E-Mart. Changwon City expects that if the building permit is issued within this year, construction will start in December 2023 and the facility will open in 2025.

The 240,000㎡ Starfield Changwon must first undergo a review by the Gyeongnam Provincial Architectural Committee. Based on this law, Gyeongnam Province conducts the architectural review first, and Changwon City grants the building permit.

Mayor Heo said, "Through 'Starfield Changwon,' we will satisfy the demands of the citizens of the special city Changwon and transform it into a city where people in their 20s and 30s want to live."
