Redevelopment Master Plan of the Area around Sinimun Station

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] The urban maintenance-type redevelopment project is being actively promoted in the aging and poor residential areas around Sinimun Station in Dongdaemun-gu.

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) is pushing forward with the designation of the maintenance plan and maintenance zone for the Sinimun Station area urban maintenance-type redevelopment project. On a site of 24,592.3㎡, applying a floor area ratio of 435%, it will create a residential-commercial complex consisting of seven apartment buildings with a total of 990 units, up to 31 floors high (maximum height 93m).

Residents around 168-1, Imun-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, proposed the initiation of a maintenance plan to Dongdaemun-gu in 2017 to improve the residential environment in the Sinimun Station area, where aging and poor buildings are densely concentrated.

In response, the district has been promoting the project reflecting the residents’ intentions, and as a result, on December 3rd, the redevelopment maintenance zone designation was officially announced (Seoul Metropolitan Government Notice No. 2020-508, 2020.12.03.).

This area, where narrow roads have made safe firefighting difficult and frequent flooding occurred during heavy rains, is expected to see improvements in infrastructure and residential quality as the redevelopment project proceeds.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “The urban maintenance-type redevelopment project around Sinimun Station will greatly contribute to regional development along with nearby redevelopment projects in Imun-dong (Imun 1, 3, and 4 districts) by improving the residential environment and expanding various facilities such as community support facilities and public facilities (daycare centers, youth facilities, libraries).”
