Korea Land and Housing Corporation said Thursday that President Lee Seong-hun visited the Incheon Gyeyang A2 and A3 block project sites alongside Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Nam-jun, who represents Gyeyang-gu, to conduct a comprehensive review of progress and infrastructure development at the blocks set to be the first move-in sites among the third-generation new towns.

The Incheon Gyeyang third-generation new town, located in the Bakchon-dong area of Incheon, is a district planned to supply 18,000 housing units across approximately 3.35 million square meters. Ground-breaking on a cumulative five blocks totaling 3,200 units was completed through last year, and LH plans to break ground on five additional blocks — including A18 and A19 — for 2,800 units this year.

LH has maintained a working-level consultative body with relevant agencies, including electricity and gas providers, and has shortened the land-use timeline for apartment sites within the district to the end of 2027. The corporation has also accelerated housing ground-breaking through integrated construction management that runs site preparation, infrastructure development and housing supply in parallel.

During the visit, Lee and Kim inspected the Incheon Gyeyang A2 block — a public pre-sale project with 747 units — and the A3 block, a newlywed housing complex with 538 units, which are set to be the earliest move-in sites among all third-generation new towns.

Lee paid particular attention to the status of school sites and surrounding infrastructure, including transportation and commercial facilities, urging staff to ensure no gaps in amenities emerge when residents first move in.

"The Incheon Gyeyang A2 and A3 blocks are a symbolic showcase of what the third-generation new town housing supply program can deliver, so we must not only secure construction quality but also complete the surrounding infrastructure so that residents face no inconvenience from gaps when they move in," Lee said. "We will actively collaborate with relevant agencies to ensure that schools, transportation and other essential facilities are up and running in time for move-in."
