The Last Large-Scale Brand Apartment in Old Changwon, 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest,' Opens Subscription Today

- The Virtually Last Large Apartment Complex Supplied in Changwon City, Where Land for New Apartment Supply Is Scarce
- A Total of 1,965 Households in 2 Blocks Supplied... Different Winner Announcement Dates per Block Allow Overlapping Applications

Lotte Construction's 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest,' which has garnered high expectations and interest from demanders in Changwon City, officially begins first-priority subscription applications today (the 3rd, Tuesday).

'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest' is an apartment complex supplied through the private park development special project at Sahwa Park in Sahwa-dong, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam. It consists of 15 buildings ranging from 4 basement floors to 29 above-ground floors, with exclusive areas of 84㎡ and 102㎡, divided into 2 blocks, totaling 1,965 households.

The number of households per block is △ Block 1 with 967 households, including 851 units of 84㎡ and 116 units of 102㎡, and △ Block 2 with 998 households, including 854 units of 84㎡ and 144 units of 102㎡.

As of the resident recruitment announcement date (December 23, 2022), anyone aged 19 or older, with at least 6 months of subscription to a housing subscription savings account, and who meets the deposit requirements by region and area, can apply for first-priority subscription regardless of the number of houses owned or household head status. There is no mandatory residence period, no restrictions on the number of houses or re-winning, and since the announcement dates for the two blocks differ, overlapping applications are possible.

In fact, this is an opportunity for those with low subscription scores to enter a large-scale branded apartment complex.

Effectively the last large-scale branded apartment complex in Changwon City

'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest' is regarded as the last large-scale branded apartment complex among newly supplied apartments across the former Changwon City (including Uichang-gu and Seongsan-gu) as well as the entire Changwon City area (Uichang-gu, Seongsan-gu, Masanhappo-gu, Masanhoewon-gu, and Jinhae-gu).

Previously, Changwon City supplied land through housing redevelopment, reconstruction maintenance projects, military base relocation site development projects, and private park development special projects. However, according to Changwon City as of November this year, there is currently no land under maintenance projects in Uichang-gu, where 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest' is being supplied.

In Seongsan-gu, a total of 23 housing reconstruction maintenance projects (including 3 with construction start reports) are underway, but there is no complex offering as many units to the public as 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest' (total 1,965 households). Similarly, Masanhappo-gu (7 sites), Masanhoewon-gu (9 sites), and Jinhae-gu (3 sites) have ongoing housing redevelopment and reconstruction projects, but none match this scale.

This means that now and in the future, for those hoping to own a home in Changwon City, 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest' will be the last large-scale branded apartment complex fully supplied to the public.
