Times Square Seoul is a transformative urban development that redefines the concept of a modern lifestyle complex. Opened in 2009, it spans a massive footprint, integrating retail, entertainment, hospitality and eco-friendly public spaces. Built on the former site of a Kyungbang textile factory, the project represents a significant urban regeneration effort with a large investment to reimagine and remake the site for Seoul's modern life.

Key features include Asia's largest atrium, which offers an open, welcome atmosphere, and eco-friendly design, with 21% of the development's land dedicated to green spaces, gardens and water features. The CGV Starium Cinema, recognised by Guiness World Records for its 31.38 metre-wide screen, provides an unparalleled cinematic experience. The complex also hosts major department stores, bookstores, and the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, alongside a wide range of dining and cultural amenities. Strategically located near Yeongdeungpo Station with direct underground access, Times Square attracts over 210,000 visitors daily, making it one of Seoul's most successful mixed-use developments. The project delivers a seamless blend of urban convenience, sustainability and leisure, establishing itself as a flagship model for modern urban living and a vibrant destination for locals and tourists alike.
