Jungnang Fashion Support Center Groundbreaking Ceremony

Demolition of Existing Facilities on Construction Site Completed by April, Full-Scale Construction Starts in May... Target Completion in July 2026
Promoting Growth of Fashion Sewing Industry through One-Stop Linkage of Planning, Production, and Distribution

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held a groundbreaking ceremony on the 27th to mark the official start of the construction of the Jungnang Fashion Support Center (Smart Anchor).

The district plans to complete the demolition of scrap yards and public parking lots around the construction site of the Jungnang Fashion Support Center by April, and to begin full-scale construction work in May, aiming for completion in July 2026.

Jungnang-gu is home to the largest concentration of fashion sewing companies in Seoul, accounting for 10.2% of the city's entire fashion sewing industry. The district is leveraging this characteristic to promote the fashion sewing industry as its main industry and is working to improve the industrial environment and foster growth.

The construction of the Jungnang Fashion Support Center is also part of these efforts. Starting with its selection as a Seoul Smart Anchor site in 2018, the district completed all procedures including land acquisition, investment review, building permits, and detailed design by 2022.

The Jungnang Fashion Support Center will be a building with 4 basement levels and 7 above-ground floors, covering a total floor area of 8,062㎡. It will include spaces for company offices, shared equipment rooms, sample rooms, pattern rooms, convenience facilities, and parking lots.

Once the center is built, fashion sewing planning, design, production, and distribution entities will be able to collaborate in one space, enabling all processes to be linked in a one-stop system. Through this, the district aims to improve the subcontracting-based industrial structure, secure market competitiveness, and revitalize the local fashion sewing industry.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi stated, “The construction of the Jungnang Fashion Support Center will not only promote groundbreaking growth in Jungnang-gu’s fashion sewing industry but also establish a new business model for urban manufacturing. We will ensure the construction proceeds smoothly while perfectly managing safety and minimizing inconvenience to prevent any accidents or harm to residents caused by the construction.”
