'5-Jung Station Area' Bucheon Sports Complex Development Plan Prepared... Arena and Soccer Field Construction

A development blueprint has been unveiled for the area around Bucheon Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province, which will become a five-line transfer station area including the Metropolitan Area Express Train (GTX).

On the 29th, Bucheon City announced that it has prepared a mid- to long-term development plan for the station area land around the Sports Complex in Chunui-dong, which will become a transportation hub in the western metropolitan area.

The city plans to create a cultural, industrial, and sports complex on the cultural and sports facility land (110,000㎡), which currently includes the main stadium and an attached parking lot, as well as on the industrial facility land (47,000㎡).

The main stadium located in the center of the cultural and sports facility land will be demolished and replaced with a dome-shaped arena capable of hosting various performances and exhibitions.

Additionally, a soccer-specific stadium will be newly constructed to the left of the arena, and a plaza serving as a resting area will be created on the right. On the industrial facility land above the arena, the city plans to attract new technology convergence content companies along with a hotel and build a research and development (R&D) center.

Currently, Bucheon Sports Complex Station, a transfer station for Seoul Subway Line 7 and the Seohae Line, will become a five-line transfer station with the future introduction of GTX-B, D, and F lines. To utilize this as a core infrastructure driving long-term development, Bucheon City conducted a 'Long-term Development Plan Study for the Sports Complex Station Area' from July 2022 until the end of last year.

The city plans to start the project targeting around 2030, taking into account various factors such as the opening of the GTX-B line, the decision on the GTX-D line connecting to Gangnam and Samseong stations, the GTX-F line circulating the metropolitan outskirts, the easing of height restrictions at Gimpo International Airport, project financing (PF) and real estate market stabilization, and the supply volume of self-sufficient facility land in the 3rd New Town development.

Jo Yong-ik, Mayor of Bucheon City, said, "The development project of the Bucheon Sports Complex station area is a golden opportunity to achieve balanced urban development and a sustainable self-sufficient city," adding, "We will continue to consult with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to ensure development worthy of the future value as a five-line transfer station."
