Daejeon Soje District Apartment Project 'Smooth Sailing'... 14 Companies "Willing to Participate"

The residential environment improvement project within Soje District, Dong-gu, Daejeon (hereinafter referred to as the apartment complex project) is progressing smoothly.

Unlike last December’s public offering where no companies expressed interest, 14 companies recently submitted letters of intent in the re-offering.

The Soje District apartment complex project is planned to supply apartment units for 3,867 households over an area of 351,535㎡.

Considering that private developers did not show interest last year due to concerns over project risks, Daejeon City consulted with expected participants and revised the public offering conditions, including applying a higher inflation rate, before conducting the re-offering.

As a result, eight companies including DN E&C (a DL Group affiliate) submitted letters of intent for Section 1, and six companies including Gyeryong Construction submitted letters of intent for Section 2.

Daejeon City plans to receive commitment letters for project applications by the end of this month, and after submitting application documents (in July) and conducting evaluations for private developers, will select the final developer.

Following this, the project will proceed through review procedures for education, transportation, architecture, and landscape, and after approval of the project implementation plan, compensation will begin, marking the full-scale advancement of the project.

Upon completion, the area around Daejeon Station is expected by Daejeon City to become a ‘compact city’ equipped with commercial, cultural, business, tourism, shopping, and residential functions, alongside the Station Area Complex Zone 2 and luxury landmark buildings reaching 100 floors within the downtown fusion special zone.

Choi Young-jun, head of the Urban Regeneration Division of Daejeon City, said, "Soje District will serve as a catalyst for balanced development in Daejeon by bridging the east-west gap. We will promote the project at a swift pace to create a premium residential complex and thereby stimulate the local economy and create jobs."
