- Diverse Residential Environments Enhance Quality of Life... "Key Criteria for Choosing a Place to Live"
- "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" Offers Multi-Lifestyle Zones Including Jinhae Advanced Industrial Research Complex and Jinhaeru Beach Park

Recently, there has been a growing number of inquiries from prospective buyers about "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave," a development that offers all three essential elements: residential, cultural, and employment opportunities. Complexes that provide a balanced combination of residential conditions, lifestyle infrastructure, and proximity to workplaces are highly valued not only for their satisfaction among actual residents but also for their desirability and future value.

In fact, according to the "2025 Real Estate Trend Report" released in January this year by R2 Korea Real Estate Investment Advisory, Heerim Architects, and Gallup Korea, "transportation convenience" accounted for 64% of responses as a factor considered when choosing a home, up 4 percentage points from the previous year, making it the most cited factor. This was followed by △convenience of access to lifestyle facilities (57%), △proximity to workplace (45%), and △pleasant residential and natural environment (36%). Other factors such as △quality of educational environment for children (30%), △local safety including crime prevention (16%), and △quality of childcare environment (11%) were cited at lower rates. This indicates that homebuyers prioritize factors closely related to the quality of daily life when choosing a residence.

Industry experts analyze that housing demand is increasingly focused on complexes that can satisfy overall lifestyle needs. Recently, the number of end-users prioritizing residential areas equipped with diverse lifestyle infrastructure, convenience facilities, and proximity to workplaces has been rising. When the future growth potential of a region is added to these factors, such locations gain competitive advantages that attract both residents and investors, drawing even greater attention from the market.

For these reasons, "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" is also attracting significant interest from buyers based on its locational competitiveness. The area surrounding the complex offers a wide range of cultural and leisure opportunities. Notably, Jinhaeru Beach Park, known for its beautiful scenery, is nearby, and the Jinhaeru Waterfront Expansion Project, aimed at enhancing waterfront spaces, is underway with completion targeted for 2026. Once completed, the area is expected to be transformed into a premier marine tourism destination. In addition, nearby amenities include Taebaek-dong Sports Park, Jehwangsan, Jehwangsan Park, Jinhae Public Stadium, and Jinhae Inland Ecological Park, enabling residents to enjoy both a pleasant living environment and abundant leisure activities in nature.

Particularly noteworthy is the high investment value of the "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" area, thanks to its proximity to workplaces and abundant industrial infrastructure. In the nearby Yeojwa District, five innovative research institutes?including the Korea Institute of Materials Science, the Agency for Defense Development, the Korea Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, Gyeongnam Technopark, and the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency?are scheduled to move in. This will form the Jinhae Advanced Industrial Research Complex, covering a total area of approximately 327,291 square meters.

According to Changwon City, the establishment of this industrial complex is expected to generate an economic impact of approximately 1.6149 trillion won and create over 10,000 jobs. As a result, both population influx and regional economic revitalization are anticipated to accelerate. With these locational advantages, "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" also offers excellent accessibility to major industrial complexes such as Changwon National Industrial Complex, Jinhae National Industrial Complex, and Jukgok Industrial Complex, all of which can be reached within about 20 minutes by car, further highlighting its appeal as a residential area close to workplaces.

Additionally, the transportation environment around "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" is improving. Under the "Gyeongsangnam-do Urban Rail Network Construction Plan," construction of Changwon Urban Rail Lines 1 to 3 is underway. Line 2, in particular, will span 19.3 kilometers from Changwon Station to Jinhae Station, with construction scheduled to begin in 2029 and completion targeted for the end of 2031. Jinhae Station is located within approximately 1 kilometer of the complex, so once the urban rail opens, residents are expected to enjoy excellent transportation accessibility.

Moreover, the opening of the "Guigok-Haengam National Road Bypass," connecting Yanggok-dong in Seongsan-gu and Seok-dong in Jinhae-gu, has improved traffic flow and travel convenience. Previously, it took about 16 minutes to travel the 8-kilometer section through downtown Jinhae, but the new 6.78-kilometer bypass has reduced travel time to around 6 minutes. In addition, the opening of the Seokdong Tunnel, an alternative bypass for National Road 25, has cut commuting time by about 20 minutes. Once the Yanggok Intersection Improvement Project, scheduled for completion in 2026, is finished, accessibility between major hubs within and outside Changwon is expected to improve even further.

A sales representative stated, "'Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave' offers not only proximity to industrial complexes such as the Jinhae Advanced Industrial Research Complex, but also access to marine, leisure, and cultural environments, as well as planned transportation improvements, making it possible to enjoy a well-balanced lifestyle throughout the Changwon area. As a result, we continue to receive a steady stream of inquiries from buyers who positively evaluate the location for both residential and investment purposes."

Meanwhile, "Changwon Megacity Xi & Weave" will consist of 17 buildings ranging from four basement levels to 37 above-ground floors, with a total of 2,638 units. Of these, 2,041 units with exclusive areas of 54 to 102 square meters will be available for general sale. The model home is located in Jungang-dong, Seongsan-gu, Changwon Special City, Gyeongsangnam-do, and move-in is scheduled for December 2028.
