Now being built by Posco E&C (Posco Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.), the #1ST World mixed-use residential complex, construction on which will start in May, will be the tallest building in the Incheon area. With such a facility in place, it will give impetus to the Songdo International City project being built on reclaimed land in Incheon. To include an ultra-high 4-tower cluster each 64 stories in height, the #1ST World complex will be composed of a total of 12 buildings and consist of 1,596 apartment units plus 1,058 officetel units.
Some 992 apartments will be in the 30-40 pyong range (99-132m2), 572 apartments will be in the 50-60 pyong range and 32 super large-sized apartments of over 90 pyong. In regard to officetels, units of 14-42 pyong range will be offered. An official responsible for the construction at Posco E&C underscores the #1st World significance, saying that a human-oriented intelligent building system is employed but the complex overall is based on Posco E&C philosophy on what makes for superb living conditions. As a super-high composite apartment building for residential as well as the commercial use that will stand in the international business district that is in the very core of Songdo International City, the #1ST World is designed as an environmental-friendly housing complex that is way ahead of established apartments. Moreover, as international business district infrastructure facilities such as 2 international schools to accommodate 2,100 students each from kindergarten to high school, international hospital, golf course, gallery, cultural center, central park, and the 65-storey Asia Trade Tower are to be located close together, the #1ST World is forecasted to emerge as the finest housing complex in Korea, let alone Incheon.
Posco E&C further boasts of the #1ST World premium-notch water-cooled air-conditioning system, which will provide an occupant of an apartment with high quality cooled air that may be compared in quality to that provided by the system of a super-deluxe hotel. Also, through the biquitous Health Care System the first of its kind in Korea, the #1ST World will offer medical services worthy of the best hospital to a resident of the complex. To reinforce security, the #1ST World comes equipped with a home network system by which an occupant of an apartment can view security TV within their complex by installing a home server. The system also includes cutting-edge facilities to maximize the convenience of an occupant, including a remote control system, which can control the gas supply, plus lighting and other functions, all from the outside. Specifically, the local traffic system in the vicinity of the #1ST World allows a resident to travel swiftly to the Metropolitan area, as well as reach Incheon International Airport in virtually no time at all. When the second Yeonyuk Bridge to connect Songdo on the mainland with Youngjong Island is completed by 2009, the #1ST World will just be 15 minutes away from the Airport. Complex in the Core Area of City
Referring to the #1ST World superb location, Posco E&C explains that the complex will stand at the core area of the international business district of Songdo International City. In particular, a central park will be formed in its neighborhood and well-known brand outlets will be attracted to its in-house shopping mall, and an international hospital will be established. The company officials add that the international affairs complex of the Songdo International City has been designated as a Free Economic Zone with a view to constructing a Northeast Asian economic hub in Korea. The international affairs complex will be well equipped with accommodation for business people as well as business amenities for executives including the 65-story Asia Trade Center, a deluxe hotel with a maximum occupancy of 700 guests, and a 43,000-pyong convention center. Posco E&C officials stressed the #1ST World optimal traffic conditions once more, saying that Songdo International City accessibility to major cities in Northeast Asia with populations over 1 million such as Fukuoka in Japan and Shanghai in China is excellent compared to any other domestic city. Incheon, furthermore, is an excellent investment destination in terms of the city potential, which is ideally located to grow as a logistics center for Northeast Asia, not the least because the City possesses a large-sized harbor. To bolster the daily living environment for foreign corporate personnel, an international school to operate at global standards of academic excellence level will be established under the direction of the Harvard Advisory Group firm of educational consultants in the international business district of Songdo International City. The school will be built on a 20,000-pyong site and aims to open in 2007. In addition, an international hospital will be constructed in the international business district under the supervision of US consultants, Philadelphia International Medicine. Posco E&C executives said that they were committed to building the #1ST World in such a manner to promote Incheon competitiveness for the next 100 years.
