The project site is located at 261-9 Buam-dong and one additional parcel (totaling 3,226.24 square meters). The facility will be built with three floors above ground and four basement levels, with a total floor area of 8,292.6 square meters. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with completion targeted for 2030.

The complex will consist of a public parking lot, the Buam-dong Community Center, and a senior welfare facility. In addition to resolving parking issues, the project aims to provide convenience for residents and create a stable environment for leisure and welfare for senior citizens.

Last November, the district held a design competition, receiving 23 entries. After a review by experts, the winning design was selected and announced. The judges evaluated the technical stability and spatial efficiency of each proposal before voting to determine the winner.

Previously, the district conducted a feasibility study and established a basic plan for the project in December 2022, conditionally passed the central investment review in June 2023, and completed a re-examination of feasibility in June 2024, following each step sequentially.

Meanwhile, the district completed the construction of Samcheong No.1 Public Parking Lot in May, Changsin Sodam Public Parking Lot in October, and Ogin No.1 Public Parking Lot in December last year. The opening of the Sinyoung-dong Public Parking Lot is scheduled for the first half of this year.

Additionally, the district is operating a "Shared Parking Program" in cooperation with local public institutions, schools, and religious facilities. This initiative provides facility improvement subsidies to organizations or building owners who open their parking spaces to residents. This month, three facilities, including Sungkyunkwan University, opened their auxiliary parking lots to the public.

Chung Moonheon, Mayor of Jongno-gu, stated, "The Buam-dong Public Parking Lot and Community Complex Facility is an integrated facility that addresses parking shortages, daily convenience, and senior welfare. We will continue to improve the quality of life for residents by expanding public facilities tailored to local conditions."
