Development of Aviation Complex Cultural Facility in Incheon Yeongjongdo... Korean Air and Panapinto Participate

A project to create an aviation complex cultural facility involving a foreign investment development company and a leading aviation enterprise is being promoted on Yeongjong Island, Incheon.

On the 29th (local time), the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA, with Panapinto Global Partners, a U.S. real estate development company, Korean Air, and others to develop an aviation complex cultural facility within Yeongjong.

The signing ceremony was attended by Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok, Joseph Panapinto Jr., CEO of Panapinto, In Seung-jun, Senior Executive of Korean Air, and Kim Young-ran, CEO of DP International.

The MOU includes attracting aviation anchor companies, establishing an aviation business hub, and constructing residential and cultural facilities for workers in related industries. Panapinto agreed to actively cooperate in developing an international aviation hub city, and Incheon City will provide maximum support for foreign-invested companies and administrative permits.

Having successfully developed downtown Jersey City, Panapinto has been intensifying investment cooperation, including submitting a letter of intent in February to invest $1 billion (1.3 trillion KRW) in urban development projects within the Incheon Free Economic Zone.

The site for the aviation complex cultural facility project is being considered on a 100,000-pyeong (approximately 330,578 square meters) plot within the Yeongjong Sky City Special Planning Zone. Since the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and Incheon Urban Corporation own 70% and 30% of the project site respectively, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority plans to prepare detailed project plans through practical consultations.

Mayor Yoo said, "Yeongjong International City is a free economic zone with connectivity to the airport, port, and ground transportation networks," adding, "We will work closely with Panapinto, Korean Air, and others to create a leading aviation city."
