Amid Increasingly Optimistic Growth, Sinsidae Breaks Ground on 'Gaedal' Building

5566.1.20. - Gongmangdo - Sinsidae Corporation has announced the construction of a new financial and commercial building to trump all others in Gongmangdo Capital City. The national economy, which reported an estimated 4.3% growth in GDP last year, finally appears to confirm the end of economic stagnation. As a result and with housing and commercial space increasingly more rare in the heart of Gongmangdo, Sinsidae has promised to develop a plot of land in the city's Kiryu-gu district into a massive 123-floor skyscraper.

The early 56th century saw the effects of increased reliance on WDU partners and the laissez-faire trade result in a semi-deindustrialization of much of Baeguk - especially Myeoggi and to a lesser extent Rokgi province - with moves towards service jobs and emphasis being drawn away from metallurgy and textiles to the chemical and technology industries. However, trade policy reform has led to the encouragement of domestic production, and coupled with both tax code reform and subsidy and investment initiatives as well as powerful innovations in mineral and metal extraction technology and material synthesizing Baegukese industry has begun to pick up steam in recent years. After the net negative contractions in growth of the 5540s, these offsets were minimized in the 5550s and now appear to have been reversed into positive economic growth in the 5560s. Last year reported 4.3% growth, the greatest of the decade yet after 5564's 2.3%, 5563's 2.5%, 5562's 3.2%, 5561's 2.1%, and 5560's 3.7%.

Riding off of this wave, however, is increased crowding in the capital of Gongmangdo, whose immediate area continues to constitute a rough eighth of the entire national population. Sinsidae, historically one of the urban great developers of the region, has thus capitalized on this spike to invest in an iconic structure meant to ease congestion in the southeast of the city and serve as a venue for the new economic ventures taking place in the metropolis. The Gaedal building, named for the ancient appellation of Baeguk as the People of Gaedal, or the Great North (加達民族), will reach the height of 555 m (1,821 ft) and contain approximately 304,081 m2 (3,273,100 sq ft) in floor area. It is projected to top out around 5572 and to be open for business by 5574.
