Gunsan Embracing '2nd Battery', Over 2,000 Households to Be Offered Starting This Month

The housing sales market in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, is showing signs of vitality after a long time due to a series of development boons. The Saemangeum project, ranging from the construction of a new port to the building of an international airport, is being actively promoted, and last month, the Saemangeum National Industrial Complex was designated as a ‘National Advanced Strategy Industry Specialized Complex for Secondary Batteries,’ which is believed to have had an impact.

According to the housing and construction industry on the 12th, Gunsan, which had struggled due to the sluggish local sales market this year, only sold a total of 2 projects (Gunsan Hanra Vivaldi The Prime, Gunsan Hanseong Philhouse) with 737 households from January to July, but plans to release more than 2,000 households from this month until the end of the year.

First, HL D&I Hanra will sell ‘Gunsan Jigok Hanra Vivaldi 2nd Eunpa Lakeview’ this month. This apartment, located at 332-1, Jigok-dong, Gunsan-si, will be built with 4 buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to 29 floors above ground, consisting of ▲162 households of 84㎡ (exclusive area) ▲24 households of 110㎡ Type A ▲105 households of 110㎡ Type T, totaling 291 households.

HDC Hyundai Development Company will also supply ‘Gunsan Hosu Park 2nd I-Park’ next to Eunpa Lake Park in the second half of the year. It is expected to consist of about 720 households with exclusive areas ranging from 84 to 116㎡. Yuseung Construction is preparing to sell 1,159 households of ‘Yuseung Hanneul (tentative name)’ in the Gunsan Gunjang district in the second half of the year.

In fact, Gunsan has faced significant difficulties due to the real estate slump from the second half of last year to the first half of this year. In March, it was even included in the list of areas under unsold housing management. In particular, large-scale unsold units occurred in complexes sold by local small and medium-sized construction companies. Gunsan Hanseong Philhouse, which was sold in March, had only one first-priority subscription application for 149 households.

However, the atmosphere has been gradually changing since last month when the National Advanced Strategy Industry Committee announced the designation of the Saemangeum National Industrial Complex as a National Advanced Strategy Industry Secondary Battery Specialized Complex. This is due to expectations that large-scale investments by private companies such as LG Chem, SK On, and Sungil Hightech will be made.

Also, Hyundai Heavy Industries Gunsan Shipyard, which restarted operations in October last year, has been showing results since February this year, creating a sense that the Gunsan economy is also recovering.

A sales official in the Gunsan area said, “Gunsan is receiving great attention from consumers due to various development boons such as Saemangeum development, designation as a National Advanced Strategy Industry Secondary Battery Specialized Complex, the restart of Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard, and the construction of Gunsan Jeonbuk National University Hospital.”
