Pohang City held a groundbreaking ceremony on the 15th and officially began construction of the ‘Dawon Complex Center Life SOC Complex Project,’ which is being promoted to improve the welfare of residents in Nam-gu areas such as Ocheon-eup.

On the 15th, Pohang City held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Dawon Complex Center Life SOC Complex Project' in the Ocheon-eup area.

After a long wait since the project was selected in 2020, about 200 people including Mayor Lee Kang-deok, Oh Jang-seok, Executive Director of Public Development at Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO), National Assembly member Kim Byung-wook, Vice Chairman of the City Council Kim Il-man, Pohang Sports Council Chairman Na Ju-young, city and provincial council members, and local residents gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Dawon Complex Center.

The Dawon Complex Center is being promoted as a Life SOC complex project by the Office for Government Policy Coordination and will be constructed as a life-friendly building with various uses closely related to residents’ daily lives, covering a total floor area of 7,765㎡, with one basement floor and three above-ground floors.

Scheduled for completion in May 2025, the facility will include an 8-lane 50m swimming pool, a youth cultural center, and a community care center, forming a comprehensive Life SOC complex.

The Dawon Complex Center signed a consignment contract with Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO) for project promotion and underwent administrative procedures such as a design competition and resident briefing sessions in 2021.

In particular, the project has garnered strong interest from residents as it reflects various opinions gathered through resident briefing sessions and is being promoted in accordance with local conditions.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok stated, “The Dawon Complex Center, a long-awaited project, is expected to contribute to improving the quality of life for local residents as a community-oriented sports, education, and welfare space,” and added, “I ask construction stakeholders to pay special attention to safety during construction so that residents can live with peace of mind.”
