View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jin-ho] Hyundai Motor Group's groundbreaking construction for the Global Business Center (GBC) in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, has been postponed to the second half of next year.
According to Seoul city officials on the 7th, the groundbreaking was originally scheduled to begin next month, but Hyundai Motor submitted an environmental preservation plan requesting a delay until July next year, resulting in the postponement.
Groundbreaking is a process carried out after the building height and other details are finalized. Therefore, there is speculation that Hyundai Motor's previously considered plan to reduce the number of floors might be moving forward.
