[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] In Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol), a multi-family housing complex equipped with various convenience facilities such as community facilities for residents, senior welfare facilities, and a library will be built in Imun 1 District.

Imun 1 District completed its construction notification on the 24th, and redevelopment will proceed in earnest with a total of 3,069 households in buildings up to 27 stories high.

The redevelopment site, Imun 1 District, covers an area of 144,856㎡ around 257-42 Imun-dong, Dongdaemun-gu. It is close to Hwayang Station and Sinimun Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1, adjacent to Cheonjangsan Mountain to the west and Uireung Royal Tomb to the north, and within 500 meters of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Kyung Hee University, and Korea National University of Arts, making it a residential area with excellent educational conditions and a natural environment.

Imun 1 District is the first among the three Imun-dong districts to begin construction. It was designated as a redevelopment promotion zone on January 7, 2008, approved for project implementation on March 11, 2010, and after the management disposition plan approval in 2017, relocation and demolition were completed.

Samsung C&T Corporation is in charge of construction, and the multi-family housing will feature seven different unit sizes ranging from 52㎡, 55㎡, 59㎡, 76㎡, 84㎡, 99㎡, to 114㎡, along with various convenience facilities such as community facilities for residents, senior welfare facilities, and a library.

The construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2024, after which union members and general buyers will move in. Part of the project site will be provided as public contributions for roads, parks, and social welfare facilities, expected to contribute to improving the residential environment for local residents.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “We will improve the existing outdated infrastructure and establish specialized community facilities suited to the surrounding conditions to develop the area into a balanced place for community communication and cultural exchange.”
