Yeoju to Benefit from Administrative Town and Transit Area Development... "The Sharp Yeoju Station The First" Launching in September

New Yeoju City Hall Scheduled for Completion in December 2028
Expansion of Transportation and Living Infrastructure Centered on Administrative Functions
Urban Development Accelerates in Southern Districts Including Hongmun 2 Zone
New Residential Zones Broaden Local Living Areas

When an administrative center in a region is relocated, the expansion of infrastructure to meet increased demand often transforms the surrounding cities. As public institutions become the core of new live-work districts, the value of nearby residential areas is being freshly re-evaluated.

There are numerous examples where the status of neighborhoods changed after local government offices moved. In Suwon, after the city hall was relocated to Iui-dong in the Gwanggyo New Town, a city structure combining administrative functions with residential and commercial facilities was created. Likewise, in Cheonan, the district of Buldang-dong, which houses the city hall, saw a growth in both housing and commercial facilities and has developed into one of the city’s main residential zones.

The impact of an administrative town on the local housing market extends far beyond just the presence of a city hall building. The steady demand generated by public institution employees and visitors, along with the clustering of facilities closely related to the administrative sector, significantly expands the scope of the district. Additionally, as the population increases, roads, public transport networks, commercial spaces, and educational and cultural facilities are gradually expanded, which further improves the convenience of living in the area.

Such transformations are now beginning in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province. Yeoju City is pursuing the construction of a new city hall, aiming for completion in December 2028. The Yeoju Station area, which will house the new office, is close to the original downtown and is also being developed through various urban development projects, so expectations are rising that a new residential zone will form centered around the new administrative functions.

This is particularly noteworthy because, as a non-regulated area with higher scarcity within the Seoul metropolitan region, it is expected to attract not only local end-users but also end-users from the broader metropolitan area.

Amid these changes in southern Yeoju, POSCO E&C is set to launch a “The Sharp” branded apartment in Yeoju for the first time. “The Sharp Yeoju Station The First” will be developed in the Hongmun 2 District urban development zone in Hongmun-dong, Yeoju City, Gyeonggi Province, with sales scheduled for September.

The complex will consist of seven buildings, ranging from 2 underground floors up to 29 above-ground floors, totaling 696 units. Every unit will feature the highly popular 84 m² exclusive area layout (three types: A, B, and C). It will also be the first “The Sharp”-branded apartment to be introduced in the Yeoju and Icheon areas, adding to the uniqueness of the development.

The location offers advantages including changes in the living environment due to the Yeoju Station district development as well as access to the conveniences of the existing city center. Nearby are Emart, Hanaro Mart, Yeoju Premium Outlets, Yeoju Sports Complex, and Yeoju Bus Terminal, and the new Yeoju City Hall will also be situated close by in the future.

The area is also well-equipped educationally. Yeoju Elementary, Yeoheung Elementary, and Sejong Middle and High Schools are nearby, with a youth center available. Additionally, a school complex facility—including a swimming pool and gymnasium—is in the planning stages. There is also a planned neighborhood children's park adjacent to the complex, and other local attractions such as the Namhan River, Hwanghaksan Arboretum, and Yeongwol Neighborhood Park are within easy reach, providing both living convenience and a pleasant residential environment.

The exceptional metropolitan transport network stands out as well. Via Yeoju Station on the Gyeonggang Line, residents can reach Pangyo within approximately 50 minutes, and once the Suseo–Gwangju Line opens, it will be only nine stops to Seoul’s Suseo Station, greatly enhancing access to Seoul and the metropolitan area. Additionally, plans are underway for the Yeoju–Wonju double-track railway and the GTX-D line, while the Jungbu Inland Expressway and Yeongdong Expressway offer extended road connections.

Inside the complex, special layouts have been applied by unit type to maximize the utility of the 84 m² exclusive area. Selected unit types will include an alpha room, pantry, and care room, and every unit will feature an entrance storage space and dressing room.

A variety of amenities for residents have also been planned. The complex will offer diverse facilities including a golf practice range, screen golf, fitness center, GX room, sauna, book cafe, kids’ room, and an “Edu Lounge” equipped with private study rooms so that residents can enjoy exercise, leisure, and study all within the complex.

A marketing official said, “With the new city hall construction and urban development projects simultaneously progressing around the Yeoju Station district, the living environment in southern Yeoju is continuously evolving. As this is the first ‘The Sharp’ branded apartment to be introduced in Yeoju, great effort has gone into the project to set a new residential standard in line with local transformations.”

Meanwhile, the “The Sharp Yeoju Station The First” model home will be located in Gyodong, Yeoju City, Gyeonggi Province, and is scheduled to open in September.
