This redevelopment plan is the 8th to 9th to be disclosed among the 14 Mokdong apartment complexes. According to the plan, Mokdong Complex 5 (area 204,003.2㎡) will transform from the existing 15 floors with 1,848 households to a mammoth scale of up to 49 floors with 3,832 households, and Mokdong Complex 7 (area 229,578.9㎡) will change from the existing 15 floors with 2,550 households to up to 49 floors with 4,100 households.

‘Mokdong Complex 5’ serves as the gateway to Mokdong and is located at the entrance of Gukhoe-daero. To create a symbolic landscape, the architectural plan includes placing the complex’s landmark and symbolic tower residential buildings along Gukhoe-daero and establishing a phased skyline together with the adjacent Complex 6.

Additionally, considering the location of the public office (community center), a city park will be created to build a green network along the commercial street. To connect pedestrian routes with Paris Park and strengthen the urban buffer function, a building limit line will be set along Mokdongdong-ro to secure pedestrian and green spaces within the complex.

‘Mokdong Complex 7’ is located at the most central part among the 14 Mokdong apartment complexes and adjacent to Mokdong Station on Line 5. Leveraging its transit-oriented location, the plan aims to revitalize the city by creating a street-centered residential complex that responds to the urban context.

A large open space will be created by placing a park between Mokdong Station and the complex. A three-dimensional pedestrian bridge and public pedestrian pathways connecting safe school routes and key spaces will be arranged to strengthen pedestrian connectivity. In addition, plans include forming a harmonious urban landscape through various building heights and securing sightlines.

The resident briefing sessions on the redevelopment plan will be held at Haenuri Town, targeting Mokdong Complex 7 on the 6th and Complex 5 on the 7th. The district will conduct a public inspection of the redevelopment plan until the 24th of next month, collect residents’ opinions, and after going through the rapid integrated planning advisory meeting and hearing opinions from the district council, it plans to apply for redevelopment zone designation to Seoul City within this year.

All 14 Mokdong apartment complexes passed the reconstruction safety inspection last year, accelerating the reconstruction process. The fastest Complex 6 aims to obtain approval for the establishment of the association within the first half of this year through direct establishment and public support. The district plans to actively support conducting public inspections for the five complexes (Complexes 1, 2, 3, 9, and 11) whose redevelopment plans have not yet been disclosed within the first half of the year.

District Mayor Lee Gi-jae said, “This year, marking the midpoint of the 8th elected term, is the time to show visible results of the Mokdong apartment reconstruction project,” and added, “We will do our best to swiftly lead the reconstruction of all 14 complexes aiming for redevelopment zone designation within the year to ensure stable housing supply.”
