Nowon-gu Gains Momentum in Redevelopment Project of Sanggye 1 District Stalled for Over 50 Years

Completion of Land Readjustment in Sangye 1 District, a Redevelopment Promotion Zone, Boosts Redevelopment and Reconstruction Projects... Remaining Sangye 2 and 5 Districts Also Proceeding, Sangye 3 and 4 Dong Developing as New Residential and Cultural Centers... Sequential Progress Except for Sangye 3 District Removed from Redevelopment Zone

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) has completed the land readjustment for Redevelopment Promotion Zone 1 in the Sanggye 3·4-dong area.

As a result, the inconvenience residents faced in exercising property rights due to discrepancies between the cadastral records (official land records) and actual lot numbers has been resolved, laying the foundation for the redevelopment project.

Land readjustment refers to the process of organizing land parcels with irregular boundaries into easily identifiable and convenient-to-use plots.

The area behind the Sanggye 3·4-dong Community Service Center, on the way from Danggogae Station?the terminus of Subway Line 4?to Byeollae in Namyangju, is Sanggye Zone 1.

This zone had no proper land registration or had registrations that differed from reality, making it practically impossible to conduct property transactions such as sales or loans.

Therefore, despite being designated as a redevelopment promotion zone, the redevelopment project had been at a standstill.

The difficulty in land readjustment arose because organizing the land neatly inevitably caused some landowners to gain or lose land. Landowners who gained land had to pay more money, while those who lost land were entitled to compensation.

To resolve this issue, the district referred to precedents of land readjustment conducted by other local governments and proceeded by proposing reasonable prices acceptable to both parties, successfully completing the readjustment.

By solving this long-standing issue that lasted over 50 years, a turning point was created for the residents' long-awaited project to proceed. Going forward, full-scale land readjustment will be promoted for nearby Zones 2 and 5, which is expected to accelerate the redevelopment project.

The Sanggye 3·4-dong area was known as a settlement where Cheonggyecheon demolition victims were collectively relocated, with many unauthorized buildings densely packed, leading to a perception of it being a deteriorated area. To improve this perception and enhance residents' convenience, the 7th mayoral administration has been promoting the "Sanggye 3·4-dong New Town New Residential and Cultural Center City Development" as a campaign pledge.

The Sanggye redevelopment project is divided into Zones 1 to 6 and involves redevelopment and reconstruction of 82 buildings up to 29 stories high, accommodating approximately 7,600 households. Zone 4, which progressed the fastest, completed construction in December last year and residents have moved in, while Zone 6 began construction in April this year.

Zone 1 is progressing steadily, with project implementation approval scheduled for October, while Zone 3 has been deregulated from the redevelopment zone.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, stated, "We will continue to proactively provide administrative services from the residents' perspective, especially those suffering from long-term unresolved civil complaints. We will do our best to ensure that the redevelopment project, a long-cherished wish of Sanggye 3·4-dong residents, proceeds safely and with high satisfaction."
