Gunsan Benefits from Saemangeum Development, "Eunpa Dongwon Benest Lake Park" Offers Home Ownership After 10-Year Lease View original image

Saemangeum, the largest reclaimed land in South Korea, is evolving beyond a simple development site into a new city where industry and daily life coexist. The Saemangeum Industrial Complex is becoming a hub for eco-friendly new industries, including floating solar power generation and next-generation secondary battery recycling, establishing itself as a key base for energy transition and balanced national development. With the phased floating solar power project and the government’s core initiative-the West Coast Energy Expressway (HVDC) linkage project-scheduled to proceed through 2030, Saemangeum is expected to grow into a pivotal hub for both energy and logistics along the West Coast region.


Transportation infrastructure is also being rapidly expanded. The Saemangeum-Jeonju Expressway is set to open in November, and Saemangeum New Port aims for partial opening in 2026. These developments are expected to not only drive industrial and logistics growth but also provide local residents with more convenient access to daily life, leisure, and educational opportunities.


The creation of a smart waterfront city is also underway. The waterfront city, developed as a mixed-use area combining residential, commercial, and cultural functions, aims to enhance global competitiveness by attracting international schools, which is expected to draw new residents from outside the region. Ultimately, the development of Saemangeum is expanding from an industrial and energy center into a residential and cultural city, serving as a driving force to enhance the overall urban brand value of Gunsan.


Gunsan is already transforming from a "city to stay" into a "city to enjoy," thanks to its abundant natural environment, including Eunpa Lake and Seonyudo, as well as the expansion of tourism and cultural infrastructure. These changes are increasing residential satisfaction and providing end-users with opportunities to improve their quality of life.


Such changes are expected to have a positive impact on the Gunsan housing market as well. A prime beneficiary is "Eunpa Dongwon Benest Lake Park," a residential complex being built near Eunpa Lake. Located in Miryong-dong, Gunsan City, this development consists of a single-type large-scale complex with 768 units, ranging from three basement levels to 29 above-ground floors, all with an exclusive area of 84 square meters (Type A/B). With a walking trail directly connected to Eunpa Lake Park and year-round lake views, residents can enjoy a healing lifestyle in a nature-friendly apartment within the city.


From the perspective of end-users, a particularly noteworthy point is that this is a privately leased apartment complex guaranteeing stable residence for 10 years. Rent increases are legally capped, and after the lease expires, residents have the option to purchase their homes. Anyone over the age of 19 can apply, even without a subscription savings account, making it accessible for young people and newlyweds to take on the challenge.


The area also boasts abundant educational and living infrastructure. Educational institutions such as Yongmun Elementary School, Geumgang Middle School, and the National Gunsan University are nearby, and large supermarkets, hospitals, and cultural facilities are within close proximity, offering excellent convenience. Both the Gunsan National Industrial Complex and the General Industrial Complex are just a 15-minute drive away, providing a balanced location that considers parents’ workplaces, children’s education, and family life.


As a newly built complex, its product appeal stands out. All units are primarily south-facing and designed with a 4-bay layout to maximize sunlight and ventilation. The complex provides an underground parking ratio of 1.3 vehicles per household and features a variety of community facilities, including a fitness center, reading room, residents’ caf?, and children’s playground. The walking trail connected directly to Eunpa Lake Park and the year-round lake views allow residents to enjoy a healing lifestyle even in the city center.


A sales representative emphasized, "The development of Saemangeum is a project that will drastically enhance Gunsan’s urban brand and living infrastructure," adding, "'Eunpa Dongwon Benest Lake Park' is a complex where residents can enjoy both long-term asset value and stable living, in line with Saemangeum’s growth potential."
