Passed Architectural Review for Area 1 North of Sinyongsan Station... 324-Unit Apartment to be Built

Apartment complex spanning from 7 basement floors to 38 floors above ground

Commercial facilities such as retail stores to be located on floors 1 to 3 above ground

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] An apartment building with 38 floors above ground will be constructed in 2027 in the Hangangno 2-ga area of Yongsan-gu, near Samgak Station. The project is scheduled to receive implementation plan approval in December this year and begin construction in 2025.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 28th that the architectural plan for the 'Shin Yongsan Station North Side District 1 Urban Maintenance-type Redevelopment Project' was approved at the 9th Architecture Committee meeting held the previous day.

The project site covers a total floor area of 115,622.50㎡ and will include two residential buildings with 7 basement floors to 38 floors above ground, comprising 324 households (29 public housing units and 295 sale units), and one office building with 7 basement floors to 28 floors above ground. To activate the streetscape along Hangang-daero and the side roads, retail facilities will be installed from the 1st to the 3rd floor above ground.

The project site located along Hangang-daero is adjacent to Samgak Station on subway lines 4 and 6, and is also close to Yongsan Station on subway line 1 and the Gyeongui-Jungang Line. Additionally, it offers views of both Yongsan Park and Namsan.

Considering these unique characteristics, the city deemed it necessary to incorporate architectural designs reflecting the local identity and involved public architects in the design process.

Seven types of residential units will be introduced, including 29 public housing units. The city plans to secure 21 rental units of 39㎡ suitable for 1-2 person households, as well as 8 long-term lease units of 74㎡ and 84㎡ for households of three or more. The allocation of units will be conducted through simultaneous lotteries for rental and sale units to actively promote social mixing.

The ground floor will feature pedestrian pathways and a 940㎡ publicly accessible open space to create an open environment. Community facilities such as a daycare center and a small library will be located on the first floor above ground for use by local residents.
