9 Trillion Won Investment in Saemangeum Accelerates 'AI Hydrogen Industrial City'... Spotlight on 'Gunsan Lake City I-Park'

Hyundai Motor Group is accelerating the development of a future industrial city centered on AI and hydrogen industries by pushing forward an investment project worth approximately 9 trillion won in Saemangeum, North Jeolla Province. As a result, anticipation is growing in the industrial and residential markets of Gunsan, which is adjacent to Saemangeum.

Hyundai Motor Group is pursuing the "AI Hydrogen Industrial City" project, which involves establishing Korea's first robot manufacturing plant, an AI data center, and hydrogen production facilities in the Saemangeum area. Approximately 400 billion won will be invested to build the robot manufacturing plant, which will mass-produce industrial and logistics robots, including wearable robots. In addition, the company plans to establish a robot parts cluster in the future.

Moreover, about 5.8 trillion won will be invested in building an AI data center to support autonomous vehicles and robot learning. In addition, green hydrogen production and supply facilities such as water electrolysis plants and solar power generation facilities will be developed in stages.

Once the project is fully underway, an industrial ecosystem encompassing AI, robotics, and hydrogen industries is expected to take shape. The economic ripple effect is projected to include the creation of approximately 71,000 jobs and the attraction of global collaborative companies. The government is also placing high hopes on establishing a wide-area hydrogen ecosystem connecting Jeonju, Wanju, and Buan, with Saemangeum as the center.

As Hyundai Motor Group's large-scale investment becomes tangible, residential demand in the Gunsan area is also expected to increase. In particular, analysts predict that areas with excellent accessibility to the Saemangeum Industrial Complex will strengthen their role as residential bases for workers in the industrial zone.

The Primary Beneficiary of Large-Scale Investment: 'Gunsan Lake City I-Park'

Amid these developments, "Gunsan Lake City I-Park," located in Jigok-dong, Gunsan, is attracting attention. The complex boasts a prime location with easy access to the Saemangeum National Industrial Complex and the Gunsan National Industrial Complex via major road networks such as Saemangeumbuk-ro and Wolmyeong-ro, enabling a convenient live-and-work environment. It is expected to secure significant residential demand from future industrial complex workers.

"Gunsan Lake City I-Park" will consist of eight buildings ranging from four basement floors to 29 above-ground floors, offering a total of 722 units with exclusive areas from 84 to 226 square meters. One of its notable features is its proximity to Eunpa Lake Park, which spans approximately 2.57 million square meters, providing residents with a pleasant living environment. Some units will also offer views of the lake park.

The area is also rich in lifestyle infrastructure. Various shopping and cultural facilities—including Gunsan Medical Center, Lotte Mart, CGV, Lotte Cinema, and Gunsan Arts Center—are all within a 10-minute drive, and the main commercial areas of the adjacent Susong and Mijang districts are easily accessible. Educational and cultural facilities such as Jigok Elementary School, Gunsan Elementary School, Dongsan Middle School, Gunsan Girls' Commercial High School, Gunsan City Neulpureun Library, and Gunsan City Library are also nearby.

The complex features a south-facing layout and a highly popular four-bay floor plan applied to all unit types, maximizing openness and lake views. Features such as spacious dressing rooms and pantries have been introduced to enhance storage space.

At the center of the complex, community facilities such as a residents' lounge, senior center, daycare center, study lounge, and fitness center are concentrated to maximize accessibility. In particular, the sports facilities provide a differentiated exercise environment with a fitness center designed for natural lighting and views, a golf practice range, a pilates and PT program room, and a dedicated lounge.

The landscaping design also stands out. Signature communal spaces such as the "Signature Lounge," the "Cafeteria Garden" inspired by the nature of the lake park, and the "Lake Walk," a circular walking trail connecting the inside and outside of the complex, have been carefully designed to allow residents to enjoy pleasant leisure and relaxation within the complex.

Smart home IoT (Internet of Things) technology is also extensively applied. The main entrance to the complex features face recognition access for contactless entry, and the unit entrances are equipped with door locks using both face and fingerprint recognition technologies.

Additionally, residents can communicate with visitors at both the unit and main entrances via smartphone, enhancing security and convenience. All rooms are equipped with smart LED mood lighting, allowing residents to control the brightness and color in 10 stages.

The model house for "Gunsan Lake City I-Park" is located in Mijang-dong, Gunsan, North Jeolla Province, and the scheduled move-in date is December 2026.
