Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will supply more than 32,000 housing units across five sites, including the Daejang and Yeokgok districts and the area around the Ojeong military base, through large-scale public housing development and the renovation of aging residential areas in the old downtown.

According to the city on November 3, it will first build a total of 25,950 units in the Daejang and Yeokgok districts: 20,318 and 5,632 units, respectively. Along with housing, the city will also work to attract businesses, improve the transport network and provide infrastructure for daily life.

The city plans to put a total of 3,555 units, including public and privately developed housing, up for sale next year. Move-ins are scheduled to begin in the Daejang district in November 2027 and in the Yeokgok district in June 2029.

The city plans to work closely with relevant institutions to establish the Daejang New Town as a growth hub for the western region and develop the Yeokgok district into a pleasant residential area that blends with the old downtown, promoting housing stability for residents.

The city will also develop a residential complex with 3,995 units on 445,311 square meters, including the site of the military base being relocated from Ojeong-dong and surrounding areas. Sales are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2027. The city plans to complete land compensation by the end of 2026 and finish the urban development project in 2030.

The city will supply 805 units in the Seonggol district in Yeowol-dong and 1,612 units in Daejangandongnae in Daejang-dong. These areas were among those where development restriction zones were lifted first. However, residents continued to face inconvenience for years due to aging infrastructure and poor living conditions.

To address these issues, the city will apply a land readjustment-based urban development approach in both areas to help original residents resettle and improve residential conditions. Under this approach, landowners receive plots with improved infrastructure, such as roads, in place of their original land.

The Seonggol district project will create a residential area with 805 units on 65,353 square meters around 81 Yeowol-dong, Ojeong-gu. Its total project cost of KRW 26.5 billion will be covered entirely by the city. Demolition of existing buildings is now underway, and road and water and sewer construction will begin next year. After site development is completed in 2028 and the improved land is returned to landowners, housing construction is expected to begin in earnest.

The Daejangandongnae project will develop 293,172 square meters around 138-5 Daejang-dong in connection with the neighboring Bucheon Daejang district. It will comprise a total of 1,612 units, including 1,332 multifamily units and 280 detached homes. The city will announce the designation of the urban development zone and the development plan in December 2026, then begin work on securing approval for the implementation plan and preparing the land readjustment plan next year. Construction of the residential complex is scheduled to begin in June 2029.

A Bucheon City official said, "By combining large-scale housing supply in the new town with the renovation of aging residential areas in the old downtown, we will expand residents' housing options." The official added, "We will achieve balanced development without favoring or neglecting any one area and create a pleasant urban environment that residents can experience in their daily lives."
