Seongbuk-gu Donam 6 District Passes Building Review... Redevelopment into 889-Unit Apartment Complex

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Donam 6 District in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul will be redeveloped into an apartment complex with up to 25 floors and 889 households.

On the 14th, Seoul City announced that it had approved the architectural plan for the Donam 6 District housing maintenance-type redevelopment project in the area of 48-29 Donam-dong, Seongbuk-gu.

The plan, which passed the architectural committee review on the 11th, involves constructing a complex with 5 basement floors and 25 above-ground floors, comprising 889 residential units (161 rental units and 728 sale units), community welfare facilities (4,439.97㎡), and neighborhood living facilities (1,789.97㎡).

The project site is located about 400 meters in a straight line from Gireum Station on Subway Line 4, and is close to elementary, middle, and high schools, making it a location with good transportation and educational conditions.

This redevelopment project includes plans for two public pedestrian pathways running east-west, allowing convenient passage for all citizens. Although there is a height difference of over 20 meters, the stepped design adapts to the terrain, and elevators are installed throughout to ensure easy access for the elderly and disabled.

Additionally, low- and mid-rise buildings including neighborhood living facilities are arranged along Dongsomun-ro to activate the street, and a 'social mix' approach was attempted by allocating half of the housing units to small-sized rental and sale units, applying the same form and finishing materials.

Kim Seong-bo, head of the Housing and Architecture Headquarters of Seoul City, emphasized, "We will continue to supply high-quality multi-family housing quickly through the city’s architectural committee reviews and implement housing policies that coexist and prosper through active social mixing."
