Looking Around Sejong: Construction

Construction

All over Sejong you will see construction. The city is still being built and you can see it grow day by day. Everyday on our way to work we pass several constructions zones including this on that is just outside or our building. We enjoy walking by this new building because it reminds us of how long we have been here and how much progress we have made. The advertisement for the building says there will be Dunkin Donuts so we are excited about that.

This is a construction site that just went up and it is right in front of our bus stop when we go to work. it will be fun to see the progress on this building too.

As you walk around you will see empty spaces that will be future sites for construction and new buildings. These sites will have 10ft walls surrounding them and they usually have pictures of what is going to be built or the name of the stores that will be put in.

The buildings that are being built usually have businesses that have already purchased their space in the building. We have been told that this is very common even for new apartment buildings. So its nice to know that these buildings will be put to good use. Even though these buildings already have residents you will see little offices like the one pictured. Its a temporary office that is usually a shipping container with office supplies inside. I haven't translated the signs or anything, but it seems as though this office is for selling more office space and also completing the paper work for the construction zone.







Our apartment is located on the edge of Sejong so there is actually a lot of empty spaces. You can see that there is a ton of construction on the edge of the city. Progress is being made and construction equipment is starting to move in and I would bet in a few years there will be buildings occupying each section of land.

Construction is very common to see and some people enjoy it and some people don't. We think it is fun to watch the cranes move and see the progress on the buildings each day. If we see any changes we will let you know.
