Bucheon City Designates Eunha Village as First Special Maintenance Zone in Jung-dong Phase 1 New Town

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province is accelerating its redevelopment project for the Phase 1 New Town in Jung-dong.

On June 23, the city announced that it has recently designated and officially announced Eunha Village, a leading area for redevelopment in the Jung-dong Phase 1 New Town, as a special maintenance zone.

This is the first designation of a special maintenance zone within the Jung-dong New Town. As a result, Eunha Village will be redeveloped into a residential complex with a maximum of 49 floors and 3,432 units. This represents an increase of 1,045 units compared to the existing number. Follow-up procedures, such as the designation of a project operator, will be carried out sequentially in the future.

Another leading area, Bandal Village A, received preliminary designation of Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) as the project operator last month and is currently preparing a special maintenance plan. Junghung Village also designated Korea Land Trust as the preliminary project operator on June 11 and is working to establish a special maintenance plan.

Other areas, including Podo Village, Sarang Village, Kkumdongsan Village, Boram Village, and Geumgang Village, are preparing to apply for preliminary project operator designation, further expanding the redevelopment project throughout the entire Jung-dong New Town area.

The city plans to support smooth progress of the redevelopment by conducting reviews through the Urban Planning and Landscape Joint Committee, establishing a new Old Planned City Redevelopment Committee, and applying special provisions of the Old Planned City Redevelopment Act.

The city completed the final report meeting for the 'Jung-dong Phase 1 New Town Redevelopment Master Plan' on June 15 and plans to release related materials through its website within this month. In addition, a public briefing for residents will be held next month to share the redevelopment direction and key details with citizens.

Bucheon Mayor Cho Yongik stated, "The designation of a special maintenance zone marks an important starting point for the redevelopment of Jung-dong New Town," adding, "We will make every administrative effort to ensure that the Phase 1 New Town redevelopment project proceeds without delay."
