[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The 45-year-old Eunpyeong Tax Office building in Seoul will be reconstructed into a seven-story structure.

On the 24th, Seoul City held the 12th Urban Architecture Joint Committee and announced on the 25th that it had approved a revised decision on the district unit plan change for the area around 84-5, Eungam-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, designated as a district centered on the district office living zone.

The decision centers on rebuilding the aging Eunpyeong Tax Office, currently a three-story building above ground, into a new building with four underground floors and seven above ground. Construction is scheduled to begin next year and be completed in 2025.

To enhance convenience for residents, the city plans to place a public open space at the front of the first floor of the building, which will be adjusted to a pilotis structure, and also install rest areas for residents inside the building.

A Seoul city official stated, "We have established plans so that citizens can conveniently use tax administration services in a pleasant environment," adding, "Before finalizing the plan, we will actively work with the tax office to secure additional spaces within the building for residents to use."
