Announcement of Seoul City Urban Planning Committee Results

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] The reconstruction of Gaepo Woosung 6th Complex in Gaepo-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, which was completed 33 years ago, has been confirmed. It will be reborn as a complex with up to 25 floors and 417 households. In addition, Sinbanpo 27th Apartment in Jamwon-dong, Seocho-gu, and Hyosung Villa in Banpo-dong have also been designated as reconstruction maintenance districts.

On the 4th, Seoul City held an urban planning committee meeting and announced on the 5th that the reconstruction maintenance plan establishment and maintenance district designation plan for Gaepo Woosung 6th Apartment had been "approved with modifications." Gaepo Woosung 6th Apartment, located at 658-1 Gaepo-dong near Yangjae-daero and Guryongsan, was completed in 1987. Through reconstruction, this complex is expected to transform into a multi-family housing complex with up to 25 floors, a floor area ratio of 249.99%, and 417 households (including 22 public rental units).

Seoul City explained, "The plan was approved with modifications as a special architectural zone alternative to consider the future landscape related to Yangjae-daero and Guryongsan and to communicate with the nearby Gaepo Shinyeong Apartments and the local community."

At the urban planning committee meeting that day, the basic development plan for Banpo Apartment District in Seocho-gu and the reconstruction maintenance plan amendment for Sinbanpo 27th Apartment were also "conditionally approved." Sinbanpo 27th Apartment, located at 56 Jamwon-dong, Seocho-gu, is an old apartment complex completed in 1985 with an existing 156 households. With the approval of this amendment, it will be transformed into a 28-floor building (maximum height 88m) with 210 households. Among these, 33 households will be constructed as public rental housing.

Seoul City stated, "The rental housing construction plan was changed in line with the purpose of public rental housing construction and social mix through continuous consultation with the association," adding, "It is expected that the reconstruction project of Sinbanpo 27th will gain momentum with this decision."

The designation of Hyosung Villa as a maintenance district and the maintenance plan were also "conditionally approved." Hyosung Villa, located at 591-1 Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, is an old row house complex completed in 1984 in a Type 1 General Residential Area, located near Seorae Village. Seoul City announced, "The plan was conditionally approved to establish a harmonious height plan considering the surrounding elevation differences."

Accordingly, the row house complex is expected to be reconstructed into a multi-family housing complex with up to 4 floors and a floor area ratio of less than 150%, reflecting the conditional items, through future maintenance district designation notification, association establishment approval, and project implementation plan approval.
