Seodaemun-gu Accelerates Redevelopment Project in Inwang Market and Yujin Mansion Area

4th Communication Forum with Residents for Hongje District Center Revitalization Project to be Held on the 19th of This Month

Notice on Submission of Consent Forms for Seoul Metropolitan Area Station District Revitalization Project Application and Planned Release of Expected Bird's-eye View

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seong-heon) announced that it will hold the 4th Communication Forum with Residents at 6 p.m. on the 19th at Haha Hoho Village Vitality Center (483 Tongil-ro) in Hongje-dong to promote the Hongje District Center Revitalization Project (redevelopment of Inwang Market and Yujin Shopping Area).

The district stated that the event will include guidance on submitting consent forms for the Seoul Metropolitan Area Station District Revitalization Project application and the unveiling of the expected bird's-eye view, generating strong interest and anticipation among residents.

Landowners and others within the area who participated in the 3rd Communication Forum with Residents last month expressed a preference for advancing the Seoul Metropolitan Area Station District Revitalization Project.

Accordingly, the district plans to make every effort to collect consent forms for the related project application to accelerate the project.

The Seoul Metropolitan Area Station District Revitalization Project aims to expand necessary facilities and increase housing supply through high-density mixed-use development around station areas.

At least 30% resident consent is required when applying for candidate sites, and active resident participation is essential for smooth project implementation.

To address the long-delayed development of the Hongje District Center, the district formed a dedicated team and has been conducting individual and group interviews with residents since early this year to explore revitalization plans reflecting residents’ needs and opinions.

The district envisions creating a super high-rise landmark in the northwest of Seoul through the mixed-use development of Inwang Market and Yujin Mansion.

Lee Seong-heon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “Since many past project attempts in the Hongje District Center were halted, we believed that resident consensus must come first, so the district took direct action to achieve this consensus,” adding, “Higher consent rates are advantageous, so active participation from residents is requested.”

Seodaemun-gu aims to select candidate sites in 2023, designate zones, and establish maintenance plans in 2024 through consultations with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
