A Brand New City. Built From The Ground Up. Built Around People.
In July, 2001 Gale International negotiated a joint venture agreement with POSCO E&C and the City of Incheon, South Korea, for the master planned development that is Songdo City. Located at the site of General MacArthur's 1950 landing, Songdo will be the first "new" city in the world designed and planned as an international business district. Songdo is rising as the "Gateway to Northeast Asia," a geographical hub just 40 miles southwest of Seoul and 25 miles from the North Korean DMZ industrial area.
Built on 1,500 Acres of reclaimed land and soon to be connected to Incheon International Airport via a new bridge, Songdo is the most ambitious undertaking of its kind. Currently under construction, this Master Planned city will provide an unsurpassed Quality of Life - including a 100-acre Central Park, International School, International Hospital, Ecotarium, Museum, and Shopping Center amongst its many amenities.
The city's plan includes fifty million square feet of office space - including the landmark 65-story Northeast Asia Trade Tower and Convention Center, thirty million square feet of Residential Space, ten million square feet of Retail, five million square feet of Hotel Space and ten million square feet of green space. Because of its central location within the Yellow Sea Economic Basin - which comprises an economically active population of more than 200 million with a GDP of USD 1.3 trillion - Songdo will act as the business hub for multinational companies in Northeast Asia.
New Songdo City is a city designed around one thing: the people who will live and work here. People who will experience an unparalleled Quality of Life as technology, resources and innovation all come together to create the ideal environment. The project brings together the top industry leaders to enrich and build the world's most beautiful, functional and environmentally friendly city. Its scope, beauty and vision embody the heart of its developers and sets a new level of excellence on both the local and global scale.
