Jeonnong 13 District Redevelopment with New Apartment Complex of Up to 45 Floors and Approximately 970 Households

Jeonnong 13 District in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, will be redeveloped into a new apartment complex with up to 45 floors and approximately 970 households.

On the 22nd, Seoul City announced that on the 21st, the Urban Renewal Committee approved a revised plan for the designation and promotion of the Jeonnong 13 Redevelopment Promotion District.

The target area is around 295-29 Jeonnong-dong, which was designated as a preservation maintenance district in November 2008 and is now set to be newly designated as a promotion district after 15 years.

Through this decision, the residential ratio for Jeonnong 13 District has been relaxed from below 80% to below 90%, allowing for increased housing supply. As a result, seven buildings with 45 floors above ground will be constructed, comprising 977 apartment units, including 160 public housing units.

Additionally, a public pedestrian passage connecting the east and west sides of the site will be created to optimize walking routes for nearby residents. Within the complex, a grid-shaped ventilation axis will be secured to enhance openness at ground level, providing a pleasant living environment.

The goal is to obtain approval for the establishment of the association in 2024, approval for the project implementation plan in 2025, start construction in 2027, and complete the project by 2030.

Han Byung-yong, Director of Seoul City's Housing Policy Office, stated, “Since Jeonnong 13 District, which had no development activity for a long time, has been designated as a promotion district after 15 years, we will spare no effort to support the swift progress of this project.” He added, “We expect to provide a more comfortable living environment for residents who have experienced inconvenience due to the aging residential environment.”

On the same day, the committee also approved the original plan for changes to the Eunpyeong Redevelopment Promotion District plan. This decision finalized the urban planning facility for a road connecting 30-6 Jingwan-dong in Eunpyeong-gu and 1051 Jichuk-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province.

Although the Eunpyeong District and Goyang Jichuk District have each completed over 90% occupancy, the road has not been constructed, forcing residents entering these districts to detour via Jichuk Bridge. The city expects that vehicles traveling from Jichuk Bridge to Seoul via Jingwan 2-ro and Jingwan 3-ro will be dispersed onto Tongil-ro, improving traffic congestion within the Eunpyeong District.
