[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Seongnam Legal Complex relocation project in Sinheung-dong, which had faced numerous difficulties, has finally come to fruition thanks to the decisive action of Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin.

On the 16th, Seongnam City announced that it plans to complete the relocation of the 42-year-old Seongnam Legal Complex in Dandae-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, to the area around 2460-1 Sinheung-dong (the former site of Industrial Complex 1) by 2028. The relocation of the Seongnam Legal Complex is a pledge of the new mayor.

To this end, the city expanded the planned size of the Sinheung-dong relocation site from the originally planned 33,182㎡ to 43,129㎡.

Part of the site, 9,947㎡, was additionally designated as an urban planning facility for 'public office,' and the city also completed the procedure to change the urban management plan for a 3,300㎡ site to build dormitories and a daycare center for the legal complex staff.

Accordingly, after conducting an appraisal, the city plans to purchase the currently privately owned legal complex land (31,621㎡) and then proceed with an exchange procedure with the Ministry of Justice-owned site in Gumi-dong, Bundang-gu (30,261㎡).

Through this land exchange, the Sinheung-dong legal complex site will house the Seongnam Branch Office with an area of 23,141㎡ and the Seongnam District Prosecutor's Office with an area of 19,988㎡.

A city official stated, "The previously stalled Seongnam Legal Complex relocation project has now been put on the right track with the inauguration of Mayor Shin Sang-jin in the 8th local government term," adding, "This will resolve the inconveniences faced by employees and visitors who had been working in the old and cramped space built in 1981 on 21,268㎡ in Dandae-dong, Sujeong-gu."
