Up to 49-Story Skyline: GS E&C to Launch "Armujae Xi" on Former Homeplus Ansan Site in Second Half of Year

The site of the former Homeplus Ansan branch in Seongpo-dong, Sangnok-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, will be newly developed as "Armujae Xi." Constructed by GS Engineering & Construction, this complex is drawing attention from local homebuyers as it will be the first major brand development introduced in Ansan in a considerable time since Gran City Xi.

Ansan has long been recognized as an area with limited new apartment supply, making it difficult to find new properties there. According to data from Real Estate R114, virtually no new supply has come to market since 2024, with 73.3% of residential complexes being over 15 years old, making new builds particularly scarce. In addition, even unsold housing inventory has disappeared for several years, so the supply shortage remains unresolved.

Under these circumstances, news of the launch of "Armujae Xi"—which will consist of 984 apartment units and 370 officetel units on the former Homeplus Ansan branch site—is being welcomed as a great opportunity for residents who have long awaited new housing supply in the area.

A local real estate official stated, "The former Homeplus site boasts one of the most outstanding locations in Ansan," and added, "With its rare 49-story skyline and GS Engineering & Construction’s differentiated 'Xi' brand offerings, the complex will become a future landmark representing the district."

The complex enjoys a convenient location near Jungang Station (Line 4 and the Suin-Bundang Line). On top of this, there are future plans to expand the transportation network, including Sin-Ansan Line (planned), GTX-C (planned), and KTX Choji Station (planned), which are expected to further improve accessibility to Seoul and the greater metropolitan area.

The fact that these extensive transportation network plans are being implemented along with the existing subway lines is a key point to note when considering the transportation environment of Armujae Xi.

The complex is situated so that residents can benefit from both Seongpo-dong and Jungang-dong lifestyle amenities. In addition, essential convenience facilities such as Lotte Department Store and Lotte Mart, green spaces like Nojeokbong Park and Seongho Park, and the Danwon Kim Hong-do Art Museum are all nearby, providing high living convenience.

Meanwhile, the promotional center for Armujae Xi is scheduled to be established in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.
