Large-Scale Sports Facilities Including an Indoor Swimming Pool to Be Built
Target Completion in 2029...Licensing and Approval Procedures to Begin

On the 11th, Yangju City in Gyeonggi Province completed preliminary negotiations on public contributions for the Special Planning Zone with Shinyoung PFV No. 3 (hereafter Shinyoung), the developer of the Deokgye Industrial Complex. Through this agreement, Yangju City will receive, by way of contribution in kind, a large-scale indoor sports facility that includes a 25-meter, six-lane indoor swimming pool, as well as public work facilities, with completion targeted for 2029.

Yangju City signed a memorandum of understanding on public contributions for the Deokgye Industrial Complex special planning zone with Shinyoung PFV No. 3 (hereinafter Shinyoung) on the 11th. Provided by Yangju City.

The indoor sports facility to be built within the Deokgye Industrial Complex Sports Park has been planned to resolve the ongoing shortage of everyday sports and swimming facilities, an issue that has persisted due to the increasing move-in of residents to apartment complexes in the Hoecheon District area. In particular, the city has placed an indoor swimming pool, which has the highest level of citizen demand, as the core facility, focusing on expanding public sports infrastructure.

The facility will have two above-ground floors with a total floor area of approximately 3,904 square meters (about 1,181 pyeong). It will include a 25-meter, six-lane indoor swimming pool (with a children’s pool and a pool for people with disabilities), an indoor gymnasium that can be used for multiple purposes such as basketball and badminton, a fitness center and GX room, as well as ancillary facilities designed for user convenience, including changing rooms, showers, a warm-up room, and powder rooms.

In particular, the parking area will accommodate about 140 vehicles, far exceeding the legal requirement of 40 spaces, which is expected to significantly improve accessibility and convenience for visiting citizens, including those arriving by car.

In addition, Yangju City will also secure public work facilities within the neighborhood living facility of the "Gwell Elium Yangju Deokgye Station" apartment complex. This facility will be built with a total floor area of approximately 637 square meters (about 193 pyeong, with an exclusive area of 468 square meters) and will be used in the future as a hub for supporting youth startups, for public work, and as a local community space.

The public contribution facilities are scheduled to be completed in time for 2029, when residents move into the "Gwell Elium Yangju Deokgye Station" apartment complex in the Mixed-Use Site 2 of the Special Planning Zone within the Deokgye Industrial Complex. The sports facility will be promoted through a public-private cooperation model, under which Shinyoung will be responsible for constructing the building and access roads, while Yangju City will handle civil engineering and landscaping work on the sports park site.

Yangju City plans to provide thorough administrative support and management, going through the necessary licensing and approval procedures so that the project can proceed without setbacks.

An official from Yangju City said, "Through this preliminary negotiation, we have secured everyday sports facilities closely connected to citizens’ lives, including an indoor swimming pool that residents need the most, as well as space for youth startups," adding, "We will swiftly carry out the remaining procedures so that the facilities can be completed as planned by 2029 and become public infrastructure that citizens can tangibly feel in their daily lives."
