The facility is scheduled to open on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

Through stereoscopic images generated by the device’s proprietary functions, visitors will be able to view immersive large-screen content, including completed images of the planned buildings inside and out, as well as daytime and nighttime drone footage of the construction site.
