Gangbuk-gu 'Urban Public Housing Complex Project' 3 Candidate Sites Meet Planned District Requirements

Residents near the former Suyu 12 District, north side of Samyang Station, and Songjung-dong Community Center submit consent forms to LH... First to secure resident consent rate among 11 candidate sites in Gangbuk-gu

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyum-soo) announced on the 27th that residents of the candidate sites for the 'Urban Public Housing Complex Project' have submitted consent forms for the designation of the planned district to the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).

The candidate sites that secured resident consent rates are three low-rise residential areas: Suyu 12 District in the district, north side of Samyang Station, and near Songjung-dong Community Service Center.

In particular, the Suyu 12 District in the district exceeded a resident consent rate of 20%. Meeting the planned district designation requirement of at least 10% resident (landowner) consent rate, it is expected that the project will gain momentum.

The candidate site will be designated as a planned district if it passes the preliminary review committee organized by the government. Afterwards, if more than two-thirds of landowners (at least half by area) agree within one year, it will be confirmed as the main district.

The Gangbuk-gu candidate sites for the second phase of the public housing complex development pilot project include a total of 11 districts: seven station areas and four low-rise residential areas. Among these, three low-rise residential areas have secured resident consent requirements, and procedures are underway for the remaining eight areas.

The Urban Public Housing Complex Project is a measure to increase housing supply by publicly developing deteriorated station areas and low-rise residential areas. Station areas are regions where residential, commercial, and cultural functions are concentrated and will be developed into complex high-density zones, while low-rise residential areas will be transformed into residential spaces equipped with social overhead capital.

Park Kyum-soo, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “With the submission of resident consent forms, the green light for project progress has grown stronger. If the project materializes as planned, the main district designation is expected in the second half of this year,” adding, “We will strengthen communication with residents of the candidate sites and provide administrative support for swift and successful project implementation.”
