[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to complete the district unit plan within the year to promote the reconstruction of Yeouido apartments.


On the 23rd, Seoul City stated, "We are currently establishing a district unit plan, which serves as a guideline for promoting the reconstruction of the Yeouido apartment district," adding, "We are aiming to complete the plan within the year after going through legal procedures such as resident review, traffic impact assessment, and deliberation by the Urban Architecture Joint Committee."


The district unit plan is a higher-level plan prepared before apartment complexes establish their reconstruction maintenance project plans. In 2017, Seoul City bundled the Yeouido apartment district area into a district unit plan for integrated development and commissioned a service, but the promotion was put on hold.


Seoul City plans to sequentially promote detailed development plans for each complex as soon as the district unit plan is established. The city added, "Each complex's reconstruction maintenance plan will be promoted sequentially, considering real estate impacts and other factors."



In the market, the Yeouido Sibeom Apartment is expected to be the first signal. Among the Yeouido reconstruction complexes, the Sibeom Apartment, which is the largest and oldest, completed the establishment of its association in 2017, but the project was effectively halted as Seoul City blocked individual reconstruction at that time. However, recently, when Mayor Oh met with President Moon Jae-in, he mentioned the necessity of reconstruction by saying, "Go visit Yeouido Sibeom Apartment," increasing the possibility of the project resuming.
