Incheon Yonghyeon·Hakik 2-2 Block Approved for Implementation Plan After 17 Years... Development Divided into Two Zones

Construction of the Yonghyeon·Hakik 2-2 Block in Michuhol-gu, Incheon, which had been delayed for a long time due to conflicts among landowners, is expected to become possible after 17 years.

On the 22nd, Incheon City announced that it had approved the implementation plan for the Yonghyeon·Hakik 2-2 Block urban development project. This project involves creating apartment complexes, mixed-use residential and commercial buildings, parks, and more on a 128,185m² site around 604-7 and 604-110 Yonghyeon-dong, Michuhol-gu.

The development will be carried out in two zones. Zone 1 (97,932㎡) will apply the acquisition and usage method, while Zone 2 (30,253㎡) will use the land readjustment method. The construction of the site, roads, parks, and other infrastructure is planned to be completed by the second half of 2026.

The Yonghyeon·Hakik 2-2 Block urban development project was first proposed in 2007 but faced difficulties due to disagreements among landowners regarding the development method. The city intervened to mediate and reached an agreement among landowners, designating the urban development project zone and establishing the development plan in 2022. With the recent approval of the implementation plan, construction can finally begin 17 years after the project zone was proposed.

Due to the long delay in development, about 30 vacant houses and plots of land had been left unattended, causing complaints about deteriorating urban scenery, concerns about crime, and traffic inconveniences in the surrounding area.

However, with the approval of the implementation plan, the project will gain momentum, leading to the expansion of infrastructure, including the widening of Dokbae-ro section from 30m to 50m, and the connection of the previously disconnected Yongjeong Park Road No. 83, which will alleviate residents' traffic inconveniences. After the urban development project, the construction of apartment complexes and mixed-use residential and commercial buildings (a total of 1,619 households) is expected to create a pleasant residential environment.

Meanwhile, for the overall Yonghyeon·Hakik urban development project, work has been completed on 600,000㎡ (22%) of the total 2.65 million㎡ site. Currently, projects are underway on 1.77 million㎡ (67%), and the remaining 300,000㎡ (11%) will be developed in the future based on private proposals and other plans.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Once the Yonghyeon·Hakik urban development project is completed, the residential environment in the area will improve significantly, and it is expected to greatly contribute to the revitalization of Incheon's original downtown."
