While reducing the number of residential buildings, the area of ​​the central square will be more than doubled, and 90 programs encompassing exercise, relaxation, and education will be provided through the largest community in Yeouido.

We will bring together all of Samsung C&T's capabilities to create a residential masterpiece that represents Yeouido and a new standard for future housing."
