Lotte Department Store retail expansion in Seoul

Overview

Lotte Department Store is undertaking several major retail developments in Seoul. In October 2026, the company opened Lotte Mall Bellytown Cheongnyangni in Dongdaemun-gu, located in the Lotte Castle SKY-L65 Landmark Tower. This complex, which features approximately 50 brands, represents the retailer’s first new store opening in the capital in 15 years.

Concurrently, the company announced a large-scale renewal of the food hall at its Jamsil branch. This project, scheduled for completion in the first half of 2028, aims to create a ‘luxury gourmet specialized hall’ divided into ‘EATS’ and ‘BUY’ zones. The renovation is being designed by the U.S.-based studio Roman and Williams.
