Geumcheon-gu Siheung 3·5-dong Selected as Candidate Site for Moa Town

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu announced that the management plan (draft) for the Moa Town candidate sites in Siheung 3 and 5-dong has passed the integrated review by the Seoul Urban Regeneration Committee, marking the first time for a district to do so.

Moa Town is a small-scale housing maintenance management area designated by Seoul City, which develops aging low-rise residential areas within 100,000㎡ that are difficult to redevelop on a large scale into large apartment complexes by combining them into one.

Once designated as a Moa Town, owners of single-family, multi-family, and multiplex housing lots within the area can combine their individual lots to jointly develop blocks through Moa Housing (small-scale housing maintenance projects).

The main contents of the management plan (draft) include ▲land use planning ▲three-dimensional decisions for installing underground integrated parking lots and other maintenance infrastructure plans ▲plans to upgrade zoning for project revitalization ▲plans to install shared facilities through living SOC installation ▲building agreements and designation of special building zones to relax building regulations.

With the passage of this integrated review, apartment complexes of 1,875 households in Siheung 3-dong and 2,270 households in Siheung 5-dong will be supplied. In Siheung 3-dong, the existing public parking lot will be complexed to include public sports facilities and a public parking lot, and welfare facilities and a public parking lot will also be established in Siheung 5-dong.

Meanwhile, in addition to Siheung 3 and 5-dong, Geumcheon-gu was selected in October for an additional Moa Town competition in the Siheung 1 and 3-dong areas.

On November 30, a business briefing and future plans will be shared with residents of the newly selected Moa Town target areas in Siheung 1 and 3-dong.

Yoo Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Thanks to the active efforts of the residents, the Moa Town project has taken its first step,” and added, “We will support the smooth progress of Siheung 1 and 3-dong, which were additionally selected as Moa Town target areas.”
