Seoul City to Develop Residential Complex Building Near Gudi Station Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] A mixed-use building including residential facilities will be constructed in the station area of Guro Digital Complex Station on Seoul Subway Line 2.

On the 9th, Seoul City held the 20th Urban and Architectural Joint Committee meeting and announced on the 10th that it had amended and approved the designation of the district unit planning zone and the plan for the station area revitalization project at 993-15 Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu.

Seoul City is promoting the "Station Area Revitalization Project," which focuses on station areas with good living conditions due to proximity to work and concentrated public transportation infrastructure, to expand the lacking living infrastructure in the region and foster it as a living economic hub. This site was selected as a first-phase project site in May last year and passed the review as the fourth among the 16 ongoing project areas.

Accordingly, the zoning of this area will be upgraded from Type 3 General Residential Area to General Commercial Area. Through this, 199 urban-type residential units and local necessary facilities such as daycare centers, Kiwoom Centers, and community sports facilities will be established. As a public contribution facility due to the zoning upgrade, public rental industrial facilities will also be constructed. The lower floors will be used for non-residential facilities such as neighborhood living facilities.

The committee also amended and approved the district unit plan change to relocate the Yanggok Wholesale Market in Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, to 229 Yangjae-dong. After relocation, the Yanggok Wholesale Market will be modernized with a scale of two basement floors to two above-ground floors. The existing site will be developed into the Yangjae R&D Campus (tentative name).

On the same day, the committee also amended and approved the district unit plan change for the Gayang Housing Development District to expand Seojin School, a special school for developmental disabilities that opened in March last year, and to establish a library as a facility for residents.
