Hyundai Construction Proposes Gangbuk's First 'The H' at Oksu Hannam Heights... Contractor Selection on the 18th

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Construction announced on the 12th that it proposed applying the 'THE H' brand, the first in Gangbuk, to Hannam Heights in Oksu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, where reconstruction is underway. The Hannam Heights Reconstruction Association in Oksu-dong will hold a general meeting of members on the 18th of this month to select a construction company.

Hyundai Construction suggested naming the apartment complex using THE H as 'Hannam THE H Gravice.' 'Gravice' is a compound word of 'Grace,' meaning a land of blessing, and 'Vivace,' meaning a healthy life. The company explained, "It embodies our determination to create a luxury apartment that protects blessings and health."

Hyundai Construction plans to demolish the 535 units of this apartment, completed in 1982, and reconstruct it into 790 units of apartments with six basement floors and up to 20 floors above ground. The design is in partnership with SMDP, which designed Tower Palace Phase 3 in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Hyundai Construction stated that while maintaining the building orientation according to Seoul city standards, it rotated the living room window directions to secure Han River views for 12 units that previously had no view of the Han River, and developed a top-floor terrace layout to increase the number of units with Han River views by 265. The original design proposed by the association did not allow for lighting or ventilation, but Hyundai Construction changed the design to enable both views, lighting, and ventilation.

Plans also include creating an infinity pool overlooking the Han River, a walking health pool, aqua bike pool, and an indoor golf practice range. For building structural safety, 'H CORE' rebar, capable of withstanding a magnitude 8 earthquake, will be introduced.

The reconstruction bid for Hannam Heights in Oksu-dong was contested between Hyundai Construction and GS Construction. Both companies participated in the joint construction company briefing session on the 11th. The construction company will be selected through the general meeting of association members on the 18th.
