The Sharp Gwangyang Lake Centum will be built on 348-4 Madong, Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, consisting of 9 buildings with 3 basement floors and up to 29 floors above ground, with exclusive areas ranging from 84 to 159㎡, totaling 925 households. The complex name combines POSCO E&C's apartment brand 'The Sharp', 'Lake' referring to the lake, and 'Centum' indicating its location at the center of Gwangyang.

Gwangyang-si is home to POSCO Gwangyang Steelworks, Gwangyang Port, Gwangyang National Industrial Complex, Myeongin Industrial Complex, and Yulchon Industrial Complex. Recently, restrictions on business types for the Donghoan site in Gwangyang were lifted, and POSCO Group plans to invest 4.4 trillion KRW over the next 10 years in secondary battery materials and hydrogen production lines. If the plan proceeds as expected, it is anticipated to generate an annual production inducement effect of 3.6 trillion KRW and create approximately 9,000 jobs annually. The complex will serve as a residential area supporting POSCO Group.

The residential environment is pleasant. It offers views of Gayasan Mountain and access to Madong Ecological Park and Madong Reservoir. Transportation conditions are excellent, with access to Gwangyang city center and outskirts via Jungma-ro and Jungma Jungang-ro, and quick routes to Gwangyang Steelworks and industrial complexes through Donggwangyang IC and Yi Sun-sin Bridge.

Living infrastructure includes proximity to major shopping districts such as large marts and government offices, and the Gwangyang Community Center is within walking distance. Schools including Korea Creative Arts High School, which is accessible by walking, as well as elementary, middle, and high schools, are nearby.

The complex’s community facilities include fitness centers, indoor golf practice ranges (with screens at all stations), and table tennis rooms, along with a book cafe and kids’ playroom. A specialized learning space called the Edu Lounge will also be created.

Additionally, an 'antibacterial yellow soil duct' that suppresses bacterial growth and supplies high-quality air inside the units will be applied, and UV-C LED sterilization lighting that removes fine viruses and bacteria will be installed inside the elevators. Smart home services (IQ Tech) allow remote control of lighting, heating, gas shutoff, and ventilation. Charging outlets for electric vehicles with billing functions will be additionally installed in the parking lot.

A POSCO E&C official said, "The Sharp Gwangyang Lake Centum is a mid-to-large scale branded apartment located in a prime area with high residential preference in Gwangyang, which is rich in favorable conditions. We will present a landmark representing the region with a brand large complex that has excellent product competitiveness in a location with high future value."
