The Garak Ssangyong 2nd Remodeling Association approved the agenda to select Samsung C&T as the contractor at the general meeting held on the 22nd. The Garak Ssangyong 2nd Remodeling project involves constructing an apartment complex with 7 buildings, 565 households, ranging from 6 basement floors to 27 above-ground floors in the Garak-dong 21-6 area, along with auxiliary welfare facilities. The construction cost is approximately 266.7 billion KRW.

The project site is located along Yangjae-daero and near Ogeum Station, a transfer station for subway lines 3 and 5. It is conveniently accessible on foot within 5 minutes to Shinga Elementary School, Seokchon Middle School, as well as Utmal Park, Garak Neighborhood Park, and Songi Park.

Samsung C&T plans to showcase Raemian’s unique specialized design and community facilities within the complex. The exterior will be inspired by the beauty of light, combining metal and curtain wall looks. A three-tiered gatehouse will separate vehicle and pedestrian routes to ensure safe and convenient access. A sky lounge will be created on the highest floor, the 27th floor. Leisure facilities within the complex will include a fitness center, GX room, and golf practice range, along with a daycare center and after-school care classrooms.

Additionally, the apartment entrance garden will be elevated to the same height as the entrance to Utmal Park, creating a seamless connection between the park and the complex landscaping. Other water features include a signature lounge and the Foret Lounge surrounded by large trees, completing the green life within the complex through seven themed landscaping facilities.

Samsung C&T has extensive experience in remodeling projects, including Raemian Bangbae Avenue in 2005, Raemian Daechi Highstern and Raemian Cheongdam Royview in 2014. Most recently, in February, it was selected as the contractor for the Garak Sang-A 2nd remodeling project (Raemian Beiluche).

Samsung C&T proposed 'Raemian Aphelix (AFELIX)' as the new complex name for the Garak Ssangyong 2nd remodeling. The name combines 'A,' the first letter of the alphabet symbolizing the best, and 'Felix,' meaning happiness and abundance, expressing the intention to provide a high-end residential space filled with happiness in everyday life.

A Samsung C&T official said, "We will do our best for the success of the Garak Ssangyong 2nd remodeling project based on Raemian’s differentiated products and project experience."
