[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] The reconstruction of Eunma Apartment in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, which has been stalled for 20 years, is likely to gain momentum. This comes as the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it would proceed with the review if the redevelopment plan is revised to reflect the city's advisory opinions.

According to Seoul City on the 25th, the subcommittee of the City Urban Planning Committee discussed the advisory agenda regarding the redevelopment plan for Eunma Apartment in Daechi-dong the day before.

The Urban Planning Committee's subcommittees are divided into an empowered subcommittee with voting rights and a general subcommittee with an advisory nature, and the meeting held the day before was the general subcommittee. At this meeting, the subcommittee suggested that a review of the building layout for revitalizing the station area and the placement of buildings on the west side was necessary.

Although the advisory meeting did not have review or voting authority, Seoul City stated that it could proceed with the review if the advisory opinions are reflected. A Seoul City official said, "If the advisory opinions presented at this general subcommittee are incorporated into the redevelopment plan of the Eunma Apartment association, it can be submitted to the Urban Planning Committee."

Meanwhile, Eunma Apartment, a complex completed in 1979, formed a reconstruction promotion committee in 2003 and has been pushing for reconstruction. However, the project has been at a standstill due to the Seoul City’s suspension of the review of the high-rise reconstruction plan and conflicts within the association.
