Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) said applications for its 2026 non-housing remodeling project, run on an agreement basis, exceeded the programme’s target of 2,000 households. Korea Economic Daily, Chosun Ilbo, Maeil Business, Seoul Economic Daily and Dong-A Ilbo reported the application volume as 2,125 households. Yonhap reported the secured volume as 2,100 households, and Newsis said only that the total surpassed 2,000, so the documents do not give a single consistent figure. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]
The project converts vacant commercial units, offices, lodging facilities and knowledge industry centres in urban areas into housing supplied as public rental homes for young people and newlyweds. Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo described it as a housing support scheme that turns underused non-residential buildings into rental homes through conversion or repair. [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]
LH said it took two steps to increase private participation. It extended the application deadline from 9 September to 30 September, a change Maeil Business, Seoul Economic Daily and Dong-A Ilbo said reflected suggestions from a meeting with operators held on 30 July. It also introduced a simplified application method: applicants first submit a brief letter of intent containing building information, after which LH reviews eligibility and gives them time to prepare full application documents, a step the company said lowered the entry barrier. [ 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]
The company said it plans document screening in October and purchase deliberation in November, with full agreement signing to be pursued from the end of the year. LH president Lee Sung-hoon said the institutional changes reduced the burden on private participants and helped secure what he described as good-quality properties in urban areas for young people and newlyweds, and that follow-up procedures would continue to diversify housing supply channels and help ease shortages in the urban jeonse and monthly rental market. [ 3 , 5 , 6 ]
Почему это важно
The documents present the project as one of LH’s means of turning underused urban commercial buildings into public rental supply, and the company tied it to easing pressure in the urban jeonse and monthly rental market. Because the documents report only application volumes, how much housing actually results depends on the screening, purchase deliberation and agreement signing that are still ahead.
