Cheongnyangni Station KT Site to Host 19-Story Urban Residential Housing and Officetel

On the 26th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government held the 10th Joint Urban and Architectural Committee meeting and announced on the 27th that it had approved the amended detailed development plan for the special planning district on the KT Cheongnyang branch site in Cheongnyangni-dong 368, Dongdaemun-gu.

The site is an undeveloped land after the relocation of the KT Cheongnyang branch in December 2021, located along Hongneung-ro near Cheongnyangni Station, and the surrounding area is a Type 3 General Residential Area adjacent to the Cheongnyangni 8 District Housing Redevelopment Zone. The detailed development plan includes a plan to build 135 urban-style residential units and 20 officetels from basement level 4 to ground level 19, neighborhood living facilities, and a public contribution plan to provide a complex public office site.

The land contributed publicly from the KT site will be integrated with the land contributed publicly from Cheongnyangni 8 District in the future to be used as a sizable public office site, where regional necessary facilities such as a startup and industrial support center and resident welfare facilities will be introduced within the public office building.

A Seoul city official stated, “With the decision on this detailed development plan, securing the public contribution site provides an opportunity to introduce industrial support and childcare/care facilities in the future, which is expected to greatly contribute to improving the local environment and regional development befitting the Cheongnyangni metropolitan center.”

Meanwhile, at the same Joint Urban and Architectural Committee meeting, the amended detailed development plan for the special planning district in the Seoripul district unit planning area at 1005-6 Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu was also approved. The site is a station area near Seocho Station on Subway Line 2, and with the opening of the Seoripul Tunnel connecting Seocho-daero (40m) in April 2019, it has excellent location advantages in terms of transportation and environment, and is expected to improve access to Gangnam downtown and expand business functions.

This review was to amend the detailed development plan for the special planning district (area of 96,272㎡) decided in 2021, aiming to foster the southeastern area as a center for ‘eco-friendly culture and business complex functions’ by planning mainly business, sales, and cultural facilities. The major changes include changing the use of the donated facilities, which were decided as ‘public facilities, etc.’ in 2021, to ‘cultural facilities’ for citizens, and raising the maximum height considering urban landscape such as ventilation axes.

A Seoul city official said, “By securing cultural and business spaces on the large-scale idle site of the former Information Command relocation site, it is expected to develop Seocho area as a new center and expand opportunities for citizens to enjoy culture.”
