Up to 16-Story Officetel to Be Built in the Dosan-dong Usijang Area of Seoul

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] A high-rise officetel building up to 16 floors will be constructed in the Usijang area of Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.

On the 26th, Seoul City announced that the 14th Urban and Architectural Joint Committee approved a revised amendment to the Geumcheon-gu Doksan district unit plan and planning decision.

The amendment excludes Doksan-dong 1008 from the 'Doksan 2-2 Special Planning Possible Area' within this district, allowing it to be developed independently, and stipulates that the urban planning road included in this land can be opened before the construction work begins.

With this district unit plan change, a neighborhood living facility and office facility (178 officetel units) with 16 floors above ground and a total floor area of 5,739㎡ will be built in this area.

Previously, this area was designated as a special planning zone in 2008 to renovate the wholesale meat market area, which was an unsuitable facility in the city center, and was changed to a special planning possible area in 2018.

However, the city explained that due to no significant development movements afterward, concerns about safety accidents in some neglected buildings and traffic inconveniences caused by delays in road openings increased demands for redevelopment.

A city official said, "We expect this to contribute to improving the environment around the Doksan-dong wholesale meat market, promoting development, and alleviating residents' traffic inconveniences through the opening of urban planning roads."
