[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Gyeryong Construction Industry Co., Ltd. consortium has been selected as the qualified bidder for the detailed design of the Daejeon Baseball Dream Park construction project.

According to Daejeon City on the 25th, the Gyeryong Construction consortium participated in the design-build integrated bidding announcement in August last year, passed the pre-qualification screening along with the Taeyoung Construction Co., Ltd. consortium, and proceeded with the basic design for 90 days.

Subsequently, on the 12th, after a comprehensive bid design evaluation of the basic designs from both companies, the Gyeryong Construction consortium was selected as the final qualified bidder for the detailed design.

The Gyeryong Construction consortium's basic design plan envisions the Baseball Dream Park with a total floor area of 51,398.98㎡, consisting of 2 basement floors and 4 above-ground floors, with seating for 20,007 spectators (including 20,607 non-fixed seats) and parking for 1,467 vehicles.

Additionally, it is planned to have a ground level lower than the surface level to allow immersive viewing similar to Major League Baseball stadiums, and the external space of the baseball stadium will be developed into experiential areas such as a picnic field and Bomun Forest, which citizens can easily visit.

Most notably, the Gyeryong Construction consortium's basic design plan includes the application of zero-energy building design for the first time in a domestic baseball stadium, aiming to create a low-energy, low-carbon baseball park.

The city plans to complete the detailed design of the Baseball Dream Park by August and commence the main construction in October 2022. Completion is targeted for December 2024, with the opening scheduled for March 2025.

The winning bid amount is 147.63 billion KRW, with a bid rate of 99.99% compared to the construction budget.

Heo Tae-jung, mayor of Daejeon, said, “The Baseball Dream Park is a project that embodies the wishes of Daejeon citizens and baseball fans in the central region,” adding, “We will strive to make the Baseball Dream Park a representative sports complex of Daejeon and the best premium baseball stadium in the country.”
