Yongin's project to build a Cheoin District Office complex has passed the Gyeonggi Province local fiscal investment review. Amid persistent concerns over the aging of the existing Cheoin District Office and growing administrative demand, construction of the new office building will now proceed to full-scale follow-up procedures.
The city of Yongin said Monday that the Cheoin District Office complex project passed the review of the "Second 2026 Gyeonggi Province Local Fiscal Investment Review Committee" held on June 29. The local fiscal investment review is a procedure that examines the necessity, feasibility, and funding plans of projects requiring large-scale local finances.
With the passage of this review, the city has effectively finalized the project's scale and implementation plan, and will proceed with follow-up administrative procedures including a public property management plan, a design competition, and basic and detailed design.
The Cheoin District Office complex will be built on the Yongin Sports Complex site at 716-4 Mapyeong-dong, Cheoin District. The total project cost is 169.38 billion won. The office building will have a site area of 15,000 square meters and a total floor area of 37,983.57 square meters, spanning two basement levels and 11 above-ground floors. A separate seven-story building housing the Cheoin District Public Health Center will also be constructed.
Cheoin District has seen expanding demand for administrative services amid urban growth and population increases. In contrast, the existing office has faced calls for improvement in terms of civil convenience and administrative efficiency due to aging and space limitations. This project holds significance beyond a simple office relocation, as it brings health and administrative functions together into a single complex public office.
After establishing a complex office construction plan in 2023, the city reviewed the appropriateness of the basic plan and project plan. It passed a feasibility study by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in February this year, and in April requested the Gyeonggi Province local fiscal investment review, which it has now cleared.
The city plans to begin construction in 2029 after going through architectural planning, public property deliberation, and design procedures. The completion target is June 2032.
"The long-cherished project of Cheoin District residents has gained momentum with the passage of the investment review," Mayor Lee Sang-il said. "We will actively respond to growing administrative demand and speed up the project to provide better administrative services."
