A large complex of 2,331 households will be built in Hannam 4 District, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The redevelopment will be promoted in a way that maximally protects the view of Namsan in Seoul.

On the 22nd, Seoul City announced that the 12th Urban Redevelopment Committee held the previous day conditionally approved the 'Minor Change to the Hannam 4 Redevelopment Promotion Zone Redevelopment Promotion Plan and Landscape Review (Draft)'.

Hannam 4 District covers 160,258㎡ around 360 Bogwang-dong, Yongsan-gu. The redevelopment promotion plan was changed in February, and after a traffic impact assessment in July, the application for review by the Architecture Committee is pending.

This plan reflects the results of the traffic impact assessment by widening some roads and increasing the ratio of public contributions. Accordingly, the floor area ratio was raised, and the height of some residential buildings was adjusted.

While complying with the height standards of the Hannam Redevelopment Promotion Zone, the height of some residential buildings that are already obscured by existing buildings such as Cheonghwa Apartments and Top Mansion and do not affect the view of Namsan was increased.

The building coverage ratio decreased from 31% to 29%, and the shape of some residential buildings was changed to tower type to improve openness and comfort within the complex.

The number of households increased by 164 from the original 2,167 to 2,331, of which 350 households will be supplied as public rental housing in a ‘mixed arrangement’ without distinction from the sale units.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Housing Policy Office of Seoul City, said, “Considering the uniqueness of the Hannam Redevelopment Promotion Zone, we will spare no support for smooth project promotion so that the view of Namsan is protected while stable housing supply can be achieved in the future.”
