Intense competition over apartment facilities.

Apartments usually feature fitness centers, golf practice ranges, and sometimes swimming pools.

These days, however.

The competition among apartment community facilities is growing increasingly fierce, expanding to include ice rinks and even opera houses.

Recently, upscale apartment complexes have been diversifying their exclusive facilities for residents.

A reconstruction complex in Banpo, Seoul, has even planned an indoor ice rink, a water park, and an opera house.

While it sounds great, the problem is that as these facilities increase, construction costs and pre-sale prices also go up.

The burden of maintenance fees after moving in is likely to grow as well.

In response, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has decided to investigate the current status of community facility installations in apartment complexes with 150 households or more that have received approval for use over the past five years.

Based on the survey results, the ministry plans to review what an appropriate level of installation would be and what measures can be taken to improve the system.
