Sanggye Jugong Complex 5, located in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, will be reborn as a 35-story building with a total of 996 households (840 for sale, 156 public housing). As a pilot project for rapid integrated planning to introduce innovative designs, Sanggye Jugong Complex 5 has passed the final gateway for reconstruction through this review.

The Architecture Committee confirmed the additional construction of resident community facilities (1,510㎡) such as daycare centers, small libraries, and cultural lecture rooms within the complex, and designated the area as a ‘Special Architectural Zone’ where height restrictions are relaxed to allow creative planning of the building’s form, height, and layout. Furthermore, measures were ensured to minimize walking routes to the daycare center, promote lighting and ventilation in elevator rooms, improve evacuation distances and traffic plans in the basement, and secure structural stability through the installation of structural supports.

Yuwon Jeil 2nd Apartment, located in Dangsan-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, will be constructed as six buildings with 49 floors above ground, supplying a total of 700 households (625 for sale, 75 public housing). This plan supplements the originally planned 22 floors and 10 buildings, and the project site was designated as a Special Architectural Zone, relaxing height restrictions. Additionally, 1,865㎡ of resident convenience facilities such as public pedestrian pathways accessible not only to residents but also to local community members, care centers, and small libraries were additionally secured.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Seoul City Housing Policy Office, said, “We will carefully review the architectural plans to ensure not only the creation of a pleasant residential environment but also the construction of innovative and creative apartment buildings,” and added, “We will continue efforts to operate the Architecture Committee to enhance citizens’ quality of life and the city’s attractiveness.”
