Suwon City recently approved the 'Shinseong Sinan Ssangyong Jinheung Apartment (963-2, Youngtong-dong, Youngtong-gu) Remodeling Housing Project Plan'.

Shinseong Sinan Ssangyong Jinheung Apartment, completed in 1997, is a complex with 1 basement floor and 16-20 stories above ground, 16 buildings, and 1,616 units. Upon completion of the remodeling, it will be expanded to 4 basement floors, 18-21 stories above ground, 19 buildings, and 1,858 units.

The project will add 242 units. Shinseong Sinan Ssangyong Jinheung Apartment established its union in December 2020.

Following deliberation by joint committees (landscape, architecture, and traffic) and the Urban Planning Committee, the union applied for project approval in June of this year, receiving approval 3 years and 10 months after establishing the union.

Suwon City reorganized the 'Suwon City Multi-Family Housing Remodeling Basic Plan', which it revised in December 2022 to adapt to changed circumstances, to actively support remodeling projects.

Currently, a total of 8 apartment complexes in Suwon City are pursuing remodeling projects.
