Dogok Woosung Apartment is an aging residential complex located at 934-10 Dogok-dong, with excellent living conditions due to its proximity to schools and parks. According to the maintenance plan, a total of 7 buildings with 548 households will be constructed and supplied, with a floor area ratio of up to 299.53%, a maximum of 26 floors (height under 80m).

This association establishment approval is one of the key stages of the reconstruction project. The complex received approval for the association establishment four years after the residents' proposal in 2021, relatively shortening the average period of nearly six years. Following the approval of the association establishment promotion committee in March last year, the inaugural general meeting of the association was held in January this year, securing 89% consent from landowners and others, and the application for approval was submitted in February.

The rapid progress of the project was greatly supported by Gangnam-gu’s 'Reconstruction Dream Support TF' through swift administrative support, smooth communication among residents, and conflict resolution efforts. The high consent rate is evaluated as an indicator of active participation by association members and the formation of trust within the community. Moving forward, Dogok Woosung Apartment will proceed with the main reconstruction procedures such as selecting a construction company and obtaining approval for the project implementation plan through various reviews.

District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong stated, "We will not spare any multifaceted support to ensure the project proceeds smoothly, meeting the expectations of the association members and residents who have shown strong determination for the reconstruction project."
