Kimhae Centre mixed-used project combines three major project components, including an on-site bus terminal, intimate seven-screen cinema and an adjacent E-Mart discount anchor.
The bus terminal has completed construction and pilings for the commercial centre started recently.
An outdoor public park, entry plaza at street level and a rooftop sky park garden will be part of the signature community spaces of the centre.
The retail centre’s architecture has been designed to provide distinct visibility along the main Kimhae-daero highway and parallel metro line.

The park has been designed with a minimalist aesthetic, including horizontal banding and patterned concrete, and floating elements with lighting, outdoor seating and geometric landscape.
The park comprises a sunken cultural event space that houses a public amphitheatre, performance area and serene water features.
The sky park garden on the centre’s roof level offers panoramic views to the scenic city, mountains and waterways.
