Yeonsan-dong in Yeonje-gu, Busan is establishing itself as a consistently popular residential area for actual homebuyers, thanks to its excellent transportation and administrative infrastructure, as well as everyday convenience. The central location and abundance of essential amenities are seen as key factors enabling its solid residential environment.

In particular, the Togok Intersection area benefits from convenient access to both the living infrastructure of Yeonsan-dong and the Centum City lifestyle zone. Major road networks—such as Gwajeong-ro, Jwasuyeong-ro, and Banyeong-ro, as well as the Wondong Interchange and the Mandeok–Centum Expressway—make it easy to reach other key parts of Busan. The Yeonsan Tunnel also improves access to the city center.

The area boasts a wealth of lifestyle infrastructure. It is adjacent to the administrative town centered around Busan City Hall and close to Centum City. Large-scale retail facilities such as Costco and Emart Traders are also easily accessible. The ability to simultaneously enjoy the administrative, business, shopping, and cultural amenities of both Yeonsan-dong and Centum City—what is often called a "double-lifestyle zone"—enhances competitiveness as a residential location.

Another highlight is the ability to enjoy nature nearby, even while living in the heart of the city. Oncheoncheon Citizens’ Park, the Oncheoncheon Cafe Street, and Suyeong River are adjacent, offering opportunities for walking, exercise, and leisure. The natural environment, which allows residents to experience the changes of all four seasons without straying far from home, appeals to those seeking a comfortable and pleasant living experience.

However, despite the area’s well-established foundation for daily living, it has not been easy to find new apartments around Togok Intersection. Due to the long-established nature of the residential area, the surroundings mainly feature low-rise residential complexes and aging older apartments. Unlike newly developed areas with large land parcels, it is difficult to secure land for new housing supply in these historic neighborhoods—which means that although there is an abundance of infrastructure, the supply of new apartments remains relatively limited.

Against this backdrop, the newly launched "Yeonsan Centum World Meridian" project in the Togok Intersection area is attracting attention.

Yeonsan Centum World Meridian is being developed as part of a small-scale urban residential redevelopment initiative aimed at improving the living environment of low-rise neighborhoods crowded with old or substandard buildings. Maintaining existing road networks while upgrading housing on a smaller scale, the project has been promoted by the cooperative since 2020 and is now open for general sales.

The most notable feature is that residents can benefit from already-established infrastructure while enjoying the comfort of a new apartment environment. Whereas new towns and development districts rely on expectations for future improvements, Yeonsan Centum World Meridian allows residents to immediately benefit from the existing city’s transportation, daily amenities, and natural surroundings from the moment of move-in.

The complex will be built across five basement floors and 24 aboveground floors. A variety of community facilities for residents—including an indoor golf practice area, a fitness center, a reading room, and a senior lounge—are planned for the second floor. An unmanned parcel delivery room will also be installed on the first floor.

Further improvements to the area are also expected. In June, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport gave final approval to the "Yeonsan 2nd Centum Line" project, which will extend from Yeonsan Station via Togok Intersection to the Centum 2 Urban High-Tech Industrial Complex and Seokdae Station. In addition, there are plans to develop sports and cultural spaces in the Suyeong River area, linked to the modernization of the Suyeong Sewage Treatment Plant. Anticipated improvements in transportation and the cultural environment are further enhancing the area's robust infrastructure.

In the real estate market, the value of new buildings is not determined solely by age. The location of the new apartment is of greater importance. If a new apartment is supplied in an established residential area with a fully developed infrastructure for transportation, commerce, and nature, the situation is quite different.

When the locational advantages of the city center’s convenience are combined with a "new building premium" and "scarcity value," a solid base of demand can be expected.

The biggest attraction of Yeonsan-dong—the reputation as a "good neighborhood to live in"—remains, but now residents have the option to choose new apartments rarely found in these mature communities. This is the core reason why Yeonsan Centum World Meridian is drawing so much attention.

Meanwhile, Yeonsan Centum World Meridian will open its model house on October 16, begin registration for special housing subscriptions on the 26th of the same month, and accept first-priority applications on the 27th and second-priority applications on the 28th. The announcement of successful applicants is scheduled for November 4. The model house is located in Yeonsan-dong, Yeonje-gu.
