This facility will have 2 basement floors and 4 above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 4,179㎡. It will provide administrative services to support the settlement of foreigners and multicultural residents in Korean society, and include a Global Center for education and counseling on Korean culture, a Life Second Act Support Center for healthy and happy retirement preparation for the middle-aged generation, and a public parking lot. Completion is scheduled for July 2026.

The Sinpyeong Urban Regeneration Activation project area covers 233,035㎡ around 37-20 Pyeongtaek-dong, Pyeongtaek-si. It is a representative old downtown area of Pyeongtaek City located opposite Pyeongtaek Station on the Gyeongbu Line railway. The city started the project in 2019 with a total investment of 26.5 billion KRW to revitalize this declining area through urban regeneration. In particular, the community center, whose construction has just begun, will serve as a hub for the Sinpyeong district urban regeneration project.

Jung Jang-seon, Mayor of Pyeongtaek City, expressed expectations that "the Da(Ga)chi Community Center will not only promote the recovery of the local community but also contribute to the revitalization of commercial areas linked to development projects around Pyeongtaek Station, such as the Pyeongtaek Station Complex Cultural Plaza project and the creation of car-free streets."
