Old Jungnang Sangbong Terminal Transformed into a Modern Complex

Expected Revitalization of the Area with 999-Unit Mixed-Use Complex and Cultural Facilities
Targeting Completion in May 2029... Groundbreaking Ceremony for 'The Sharp First World' Held on the 5th

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) is embarking on a full-scale redevelopment project in the area around the old Sangbong Terminal, transforming it into a modern complex that integrates residential, commercial, and cultural spaces.

This project has been progressing since the designation of the Seoul City Redevelopment Promotion Zone in 2015, receiving project implementation approval in 2022, management disposition plan approval in 2024, and commencing construction this year.

The target site is located near Sangbong Terminal in Sangbong 2-dong, lot number 83-1 (total area 28,526.6㎡), designated as the Sangbong 9 Redevelopment Promotion Zone.

On this site, five mixed-use residential and commercial buildings ranging from 8 basement levels to 49 floors above ground will be constructed, featuring 999 apartment units, 308 officetel rooms, office facilities, and various convenience amenities, expected to improve urban maintenance and residential environments.

In particular, following the closure approval of Sangbong Terminal in 2023, the originally planned passenger vehicle terminal and public office facilities, which were to be donated, are being repurposed into cultural facilities needed by the local community.

Accordingly, the project implementer plans to donate a building on a 1,569㎡ (approximately 480 pyeong) site, consisting of 3 basement floors and 4 above-ground floors. This facility will serve as a comprehensive cultural center equipped with exhibition spaces and a conference hall, with construction starting in 2027 and completion scheduled for May 2029.

The ‘The Sharp First World’ in Sangbong 9 District marked the official start of development with a groundbreaking ceremony held on the 5th. Additionally, the nearby Sangbong Food Alley was recently selected for the Seoul City-led ‘2025 Local Brand Commercial District Development Project,’ receiving up to 1 billion KRW in support over two years from 2025 to 2026, becoming a focal point for regional economic revitalization.

In this way, the district plans to further strengthen residential, commercial, and cultural functions to develop the Sangbong area into a key hub in the northeastern part of Seoul.

The area around Sangbong Terminal has historically served as a major transportation hub in eastern Seoul and a gateway connecting to Gangwon and Gyeongsang provinces. Since its opening in 1985, it has been the transportation center of the northeastern region for about 40 years and currently functions as a major transfer point connecting Line 7, the Gyeongchun Line, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, and KTX. With the future opening of the GTX-B line, it is expected to be reborn as a super-regional transportation hub with five railway lines.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “Through the redevelopment of Sangbong 9 District, the creation of a modern complex will enhance the value of the area and provide residents with a more pleasant living environment. In particular, we will actively support the expansion of cultural infrastructure, which has been lacking in the region, through cultural facilities, ensuring these spaces become places that residents can enjoy together.”
