This project began with the establishment of a basic plan in October 2022. In April 2023, the city purchased land previously used as a private parking lot, and after completing administrative procedures, construction began in February 2024. In the same month, Jinju City signed a business agreement with Jinju Police Station, Jinju City Facilities Management Corporation, and Jinju Seobu Senior Club to systematically and efficiently manage and operate the facility through inter-agency cooperation.

The Jungandong Public Parking Tower was built with a total project cost of 16.5 billion KRW, on a site area of 2,109 square meters, with a total floor area of 5,299 square meters, comprising three above-ground floors and four levels, providing 218 parking spaces. The first floor features a bicycle parking area, public restrooms, and a cafe, adding convenience for users.

Mayor Cho Kyu-il stated, "The Jungandong Public Parking Tower project will not only alleviate parking shortages in the old downtown area but also have a positive impact on revitalizing the local economy and improving the aesthetics of the city center," adding, "We will continue to promote projects to secure parking spaces for the convenience of citizens in the future."
