Redevelopment into 26-Story Apartment in Gongdeok 8 District... 1,564 Units Supplied

Seoul City Completes Designation of Maintenance Zones
Expansion of Green Spaces and Resident Convenience Facilities

Gongdeok 8 District in Mapo-gu, Seoul, will be redeveloped into an apartment complex with 26 floors and 1,564 households.

Seoul City announced on the 1st that it held the 7th Urban Planning Committee's Authorized Subcommittee on the 31st of last month and approved the amendment of the "Designation of Maintenance Area and Maintenance Plan for Gongdeok 8 Housing Maintenance-type Redevelopment Project." This comes about a year after the rapid integrated planning was completed in July last year.

The Gongdeok 8 District around 11-24 Gongdeok-dong is a hilly area adjacent to Mallijae-ro. Although residential environment improvement projects were promoted in the 1990s and 2000s, living conditions remain poor. Due to the sloped terrain with an elevation difference of over 45 meters, the pedestrian environment is poor, and it is isolated from the surroundings by retaining walls along Mallijae-ro. Accordingly, it was selected as a candidate site for rapid integrated planning in December 2021.

With this designation of the maintenance area, an apartment complex with 26 floors, 15 buildings, and 1,564 households will be supplied in this area. A floor area ratio of 250% will be applied.

Along with this, green spaces and resident convenience areas will be expanded. Parks will be arranged in connection with the east-west street parks in the nearby Cheongpa-dong area, and public pedestrian paths and open spaces will be created within the complex. Various activity spaces such as auxiliary welfare facilities and neighborhood living facilities will also be arranged to enhance the convenience of local residents and promote regional revitalization.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Housing Office of Seoul City, stated, “With the amendment approved by the authorized subcommittee of the Urban Planning Committee, it is expected to accelerate the development of deteriorated urban residential areas and realize the rapid integrated planning that integrates the Gongdeok and Cheongpa areas into one region.”
