Residential project
North Korea's five-year project to build "50,000 new flats" was unveiled in 2021 by Kim Jong Un during the 8th Congress of the WPK which aims to address housing shortages and improve living standards of the people in Pyongyang. The project is split into 5 stages, with 10,000 new flats to be built per year. In 2022, the first stage of 10,000 flats were completed in the Songsin and Songhwa districts. The Hwasong District itself consists of four stages of construction: Hwasong Street as Stage No.1, Rimhung Street as Stage No.2, Stage No.3, and Saebyol Street as Stage No.4.[5] In 2024, Construction on the 4th stage of the Hwasong District began on February 16, 2025 during the 83rd anniversary of General Kim Jong Il’s birth. [6][unreliable source?] According to DPRK state media, the 4th stage of the Hwasong District, Saebyol Street was inaugurated on February 16, 2026, concluding the 5-year construction project and claimed that nearly 60,000 homes and public buildings were completed, surpassing the initial plan.[7] On February 18, 2026, a 5th stage of construction in Hwasong District broke ground in a ceremony.[8]
