Creation of a Landmark Landscape-Specialized Complex Embracing Namsan and the Han River Along the Waterfront

Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) is conducting a public inspection announcement for the 'Seobinggo Shindong-A Apartment Reconstruction Maintenance Zone and Maintenance Plan (Change) (Draft)' to collect residents' opinions until the 31st of this month. This is a follow-up procedure after completing consultations with related departments and agencies on the maintenance plan (draft) proposed by residents following the rapid integrated planning notification in August.


The public inspection of the maintenance zone and maintenance plan decision (change) (draft) is available at the Housing Division on the 7th floor of Yongsan-gu Office and at the Shindong-A Apartment Housing Reconstruction Maintenance Project Association (347 Ichon-ro, Yongsan-gu, 2nd floor of the management office).

The district, together with Seoul City, established guidelines for Seobinggo Shindong-A Apartment through 13 rounds of rapid integrated planning consultations. Shindong-A Apartment is located in an important area both geographically and scenically, where Seoul’s north-south green axis and the Han River waterfront axis meet. The maintenance plan (draft) was established with strategies to create a landscape-specialized complex enjoying views of the Han River, Yongsan Park, and Namsan, to drastically improve urban infrastructure providing living convenience, and to build green and pedestrian systems connecting the Han River and the local area, as well as Gangbuk and Gangnam.


Accordingly, the area of Seobinggo-dong 241-21 (114,346.8㎡) is expected to be reborn as a 'landscape-specialized complex embracing Namsan and the Han River' with 1,903 households in buildings up to 49 floors. Two pedestrian-only roads for pedestrian linkage connecting Yongsan Park and the Han River, an underground road for smooth traffic improvement, and two small parks to strengthen the north-south green axis will be newly established.


To collect opinions, the district will also hold a residents' briefing session on the 13th of this month at the auditorium on the 5th floor of Seobinggo-dong Community Center. After the public inspection announcement and hearing opinions from the district council, the plan will be submitted to Seoul City for enactment.



District Mayor Park Hee-young said, “I hope that Seobinggo Shindong-A Apartment, located in a key position in Yongsan-gu, will be reborn as a Han River landmark connecting the city center and the Han River,” and added, “We will strive to proceed with the project promptly by reflecting residents’ opinions.”
