Samsung C&T's Construction Group has been finally selected as the contractor for the 738.1 billion won Yongho District 1 reconstruction project in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do.

According to Samsung C&T on October 26, the Yongho District 1 Reconstruction Association in Changwon passed a motion to select Samsung C&T as the contractor at a general meeting held the previous day, October 25.

The project involves developing the area around 62 Yongho-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon, with eight buildings rising from three basement levels to up to 46 stories, totaling 1,315 units, along with neighborhood commercial facilities.

Yongho District 1 is close to Yongnam Elementary School, Bansong Middle School and Changwon Jungang High School, as well as government offices including the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Government and Changwon City Hall. Department stores and large supermarkets are also nearby. Yongji Lake Park borders the southern side of the complex.

Samsung C&T proposed 'RAEMIAN CLIER' as the new name for the complex. The name combines 'Climax,' meaning the highest point, and 'Era,' meaning a new age.

The complex's layout is optimized for lasting views of Yongji Lake. By adjusting the orientation and spacing of the residential buildings, the number of units with lake views was increased from the 584 in the original plan to 955.

The plan includes community facilities measuring about 3.4 pyeong per household, with a range of programs such as a multipurpose gym, group study rooms and culture classrooms. A landmark building will feature a sky community on its 46th floor, offering panoramic views of Yongji Lake, Jeongbyeongsan Mountain and downtown Changwon.

A large central plaza spanning 6,500 pyeong will be created at the center of the complex, along with 14 themed gardens and walking paths totaling about 2.4 km. Inside the units, a ceiling height of 2.5 m and three-sided open floor plans will enhance the sense of openness and natural light.

Im Cheol-jin, head of Samsung C&T's Housing Sales Division, said, "We proposed a distinctive design that takes into account Yongho District 1's excellent location and natural surroundings. We will bring together Samsung C&T's design, technology and quality capabilities to create a premier landmark."
