Gangnam-gu Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun Urges Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon for "Prompt Decision on Apgujeong and Eunma Reconstruction"

Excluding Seoul Medical Center Public Housing Site, 7 Proposals Including Accelerated Urban Development of Gaepo Guryong Village

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 17th, Jung Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam District, met with Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon at Seoul City Hall and requested the prompt promotion of reconstruction for Apgujeong Apartments and Eunma Apartments in Gangnam.

Mayor Jung also demanded a full withdrawal of the “Plan to Supply 3,000 Public Housing Units on the Site of Gangnam Seoul Medical Center” announced by Seoul City in August last year, emphasizing the necessity of the original plan for GBC-Yeongdong-daero Complex Development linked with the “MICE Industry Hub Development.”

Apgujeong and Eunma Apartments are large-scale aged apartments over 40 years old. Although reconstruction has been delayed due to government real estate policies, urgent measures such as district unit planning to alleviate residents’ inconveniences and expansion of housing supply, as well as relaxation of the 35-floor height limit for multi-family housing, are needed.

Regarding the Gaepo Guryong Village development plan amendment, which was suspended in June last year, Mayor Jung requested, “It must be finalized within this month for follow-up procedures such as announcement of compensation plans, appraisal, and detailed design in the second half of the year,” and asked for cooperation on ▲sequential zoning changes (upzoning) within Gangnam District ▲cooperation related to the Gangnam District new office site (SETEC) ▲support for the creation of Suseo Robot Hub District ▲support for special adjustment grants for Daemosan Park maintenance project.

Mayor Jung Soon-gyun emphasized the reconstruction promotion of the two apartments, saying, “The Eunma and Apgujeong reconstruction projects can no longer be delayed to resolve residents’ housing welfare,” and requested, “Mayor Oh should accelerate the reconstruction projects pledged in his campaign to fulfill the long-standing wishes of the residents of these apartment areas.”
