[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) announced the decision and official notice on the 14th for the 'Seongsu IT Industry and Distribution Development Promotion District Unit Plan' covering 578,619㎡ in the area of 277-28, Seongsu-dong 2-ga.

This is the result after 11 years since it was designated as an industrial development promotion district in 2010 and the commencement of the planning service.

Accordingly, within the Seongsu IT Industry and Distribution Development Promotion District, when advanced industries such as information and communication (IT) industry and research and development (R&D) are planned together with public open spaces, the floor area ratio can be relaxed up to a maximum of 560%, and building height up to 84~120m, enabling large-scale development.

Among semi-industrial areas in Seoul, the 'Seongsu IT Industry and Distribution Development Promotion District' is the only area where the maximum relaxation of floor area ratio and building height has been applied to this extent.

Additionally, convenience facilities for workers such as hospitals, sports facilities, and restaurants, which are insufficient compared to the number of workers in the area, are encouraged to be used for low-rise street activation purposes. For office facilities, factories, and automobile-related facilities, the number of parking spaces must be secured at 120~150% of the legally required parking spaces. A plan for creating front open spaces has been established to improve the pedestrian environment along with measures to enhance the industrial living environment.

A district official explained, "The floor area ratio special relaxation under the Building Act for semi-industrial areas and the Green Building Creation Support Act was limited to a maximum of 480%, but in the Seongsu IT area, through this district unit plan, with the securing of recommended industries, installation of public open spaces, and donation of public facilities, the floor area ratio can be applied up to 800%. This effectively attracts advanced industries, promotes regeneration of aging industrial facilities and large-scale development, and through the creation of various open spaces and introduction of convenience facilities for industrial workers, it can grow as a new growth hub area alongside the existing Seongsu area."

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "Through this district unit plan, Seongsu-dong will be reborn as a new growth center of the 4th industrial revolution based on information and communication technology. We will continue to do our best to create an economic special zone favorable for businesses."
