Approximately 200 people, including Seongnam Mayor Shin Sangjin, local residents, and industrial complex workers, attended the ceremony and participated in the meaningful groundbreaking event.


This project will invest a total of 17.7 billion won to develop a site of 2,496 square meters, constructing a building with two underground floors and one above-ground floor. The facility will provide a total of 149 parking spaces, and a small park will be created on the upper level. The project aims for completion in June 2027.


Mayor Shin Sangjin stated, "This project will make a significant contribution to improving the environment of the Seongnam Hightech Valley industrial complex in a more pleasant and balanced way." He added, "Projects such as the creation of youth-friendly beautiful streets and the establishment of a multi-purpose cultural center, which will offer cultural and convenience spaces for both workers and citizens, are also progressing smoothly."


He continued, "Seongnam Hightech Valley is evolving into a future-oriented industrial complex where companies and workers grow together. Seongnam City will further develop this area into a space where advanced technology and a pleasant environment coexist, leading to a new leap forward for the original downtown."


Seongnam City has designated Seongnam Hightech Valley as a key target of the eighth popularly elected administration's pledges and is focusing on expanding infrastructure and supporting corporate growth with the goal of transforming it into a smart convergence complex.


In November 2022, the city opened the "Seongnam City Innovation Support Center" to support the convergence growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2023, 194 units of "Happy Housing" for industrial complex workers began occupancy. This achievement was made possible by Seongnam City encouraging Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to construct the housing through a public contribution approach, thereby promoting residential stability. In addition, pedestrian walkways were newly installed in seven sections of Hightech Valley where there were previously none, improving the walking environment.



Furthermore, Seongnam City is continuously advancing the industrial complex and supporting businesses through initiatives such as the opening of a comprehensive welfare center for workers, operation of a food research and development support center, small-scale business environment improvement projects, and various public contest projects.
